According to the developers, the project was initially built as a technical showcase to test out the PSG sample routines they had devised for their custom compiler (as opposed to as “an actual game that people would play”), with all samples and sound effects that are included being mixed in realtime at 6khz on a 3.57mhz Z80 CPU.
