Trivia

• The original name of Muscly Pill was Steroids. The name and description was changed in Alpha 45 to avoid the chance of an "M" rating from ESRB, and because it felt out of place compared to the other consumables (Excluding Sugar, which was changed from Cocaine in this same update), since it was a real drug that only had benefits in-game.
  • Though unlike cocaine, steroids were supposed to have a negative effect called 'Big Muscles' "Taking steroids on the regular makes you super strong, but can cause 'Roid Rage'! You'll randomly have uncontrollable angry outbursts."
    This effect most likely implied that if too many steroids were taken during a run, the player would get the Roid Rage status effect causing the player to randomly become Enraged for a certain duration.
