As of version 1.3, after inputting a secret code on the Practice Mode select screen, "Mike%" is activated, which adds a timer to the game which stops once Mike is defeated. This is presumably a nod to the Mike% speedrunning category found on the game's page on Speedrun.com.
If this code is active while playing the game's final level, Mike is found sleeping in the corner of the boss room.

The game's unlockable palettes and Practice Mode stemmed after Cruise Elroy added "perfect bonuses" to the game, as he wanted to give players more incentive to try to perfect every level. To this end, Practice Mode was added to avoid players having to replay the entire campaign from the start to reach a level they wanted to perfect.

A spider enemy was originally set to appear if the player took too long in a level, but was cut since their mechanic would run contrary to the game's focus on enemy combos.
The spider, now named Gil, would appear in a 2023 remake of the 2016 version of Annalynn as an optional enemy.

Annalynn originally began development as Minecade, starring a generic male miner. After being inspired by Ms. Pac-Man, however, Cruise Elroy replaced him with Annalynn, with the game being renamed in her stead.

The Venom Brigade, the game's antagonists, were originally moles as opposed to snakes. In addition to this, the fourth mole was yellow as opposed to Handy's blue coloration. The change from moles to snakes was done because Cruise Elroy wanted more distinction between the human Annalynn and the game's enemies.
