* The new arrow-like form, known as the Wave, was inspired by the mechanics of the mobile game ''Wave Wave''.

* This is the second update that includes two new main levels. ([[Update 1.6|1.6]] with [[Electroman Adventures]] and [[Clubstep]], and now 1.9 with [[Blast Processing]] and [[Theory of Everything 2]])
* Both Update 1.6 and Update 1.9 featured music from both Waterflame and DJ Nate.
* Some people thought that ''Eternity'' would be Level 18, but that was later proven false when the Theory of Everything 2 preview came out.
* Many users thought that Update 1.9 would be released on Halloween, but the update ended up being released 9 days later.
