- Custom engine (physics, gameplay) written in C
- Very tight memory constraints (16kB RAM for the monochrome version and 64kB RAM for the color version)
- Performance optimization was critical, as the processing power was very limited
- Fully persistent storage of gameplay (serialization of full game state) for easy quit/resume on the go
- Usage of the Timeline JavaScript API to push Timeline-Pins for new highscores to the watch
