Most of it is not my sprite work. I did several of the item and environment sprites though. I am by no means a graphic artist so that is why I sculpted all my concept art. I think Snickerbobble, Milt and Vikri did a fantastic job translating my work.
That's funny you mention chocolate and chili peppers. I had thought of a rare spawn (like pinky and tim) enemy that's based around that. I think I named it Xocoatil. Hybrids like that would hypothetically spawn on the borders where the Confection and Sensation touch.
