  • The Chisel series have similar artwork to the artwork from Rockitty.
  • Chisel looks like Mario using a Spin Drill in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
  • Pick up gems looks like the gems from the game Onekey.
  • For the Nitrome Jam game Rockitty: 9 Lives, there is an icon for Chisel in the "More projects created by this team members" section credited as Chisel but leading to Chisel 2.
