Glitches

 * Pixel Pop glitch the fifth level of Pixel Pop (level one on medium mode), if the player loses the level the game will sometimes freeze the screen, but the sound in the background will keep playing as if they are playing the level over.
 * Also on the fifth level, occasionally some of the lids from the coffins will be gone. They return when the vampire comes out of the coffin, or if the player refreshes the tab.

Trivia

 * Pixel Pop is actually a type of music, similar to the music used in-game.
 * In Rubble Trouble Tokyo, a building has the male superhero dancing and another building with a dinosaur dancing as well.
 * The Nitrome.com 2.0 icon of Pixel Pop has the exact cartridge appearance of a Nitrome.com 2.0 NES game.
