The main protagonist Pizzelle is explicitly confirmed by developers as a trans woman via gender-swap from the established male source characters Peppino and The Noise, with her design mixing their outfits while retaining a mustache. The antagonist Coneball is stated on Discord to be genderfluid and accepting of any pronouns, with lore adjustments made specifically to accommodate these identities.

These changes are not incidental but positioned as central to the central characters. Creator intent is further demonstrated through additional trans character Yello and non-binary voice actors for supporting roles, all tied directly to dev confirmations and adaptational decisions. This approach transforms the fangame into a vehicle for identity representation rather than a straightforward homage, compromising the original source material's entertainment focus by injecting progressive messaging into protagonist, antagonist, and supporting cast alike. The result prioritizes ideological signaling over organic storytelling.
