Simple, I'd have to say they used a 3D api (possible DirectX), and wrote it in assembly. I made a notepad clone that was just over 3kb once.

*edit
i just finished watching it. Aparently 99% of the stuff is generated on-demand, most likely via equasions and such. Of course the music is obvioulsy a mod-like song which can play for 50 hours and only be 7kb big
