Demo 0.3
Demo 0.3 is a extremely early development build of the game, and is 1813 days older than the final build of the game. This is the first build where more apparent changes have been made, and graphically breaking the original story cutscenes in the process. This was the last build made until december 2009.
(This page is a work-in-progress. The stuff related to this prototype page will eventually be added at some point.)
Graphical changes

Right and left standing sprites changed to Kazooa, the main difference being the standing pose, the hair, and the pointed beak.
| 0.1 | 0.3 |

 |
Time cell changed to coin. The end of the animation suddenly flips the K back, a oversight that wasn't fixed until V2.0 of the game. In-game the animation plays so fast that it is almost unnoticable.

Crower cutscene head changed to Kazooa cutscene animation. Just loops between these frames at this point in development due to the object not being coded to show the appropriate frames.

Left side of CVSTT sofa changed to Kazooa's sofa.

Changed to the early Title logo that would end up unused in the final game.

Level differences

|
Stage 1 is extremely early at this point. While the top left portion stayed mostly the same, the bottom part was changed entirely, with several rocks spelling out the word "TEST". This means the stage layout was originally meant to be just a test, but ended up being used as a base for the stage's design seen in the final game.
Misc screen differences
| 0.3 | Final V1 |
|---|---|
|
|
The title screen is just like the one from Crower VS The Time, minus the changed graphics. The logo has been updated, while the coins were originally "Z"s.

|---|---|

|
The first screen of the intro cutscene is in, albeit in a very rough and barebones shape. This marked the start of things being more and more influenced by Wario: Master of Disguise. Because this screen was modified from an existing one, the changes in graphics also started to graphically break the rest of the story screens from Crower VS The Time:
Sound Differences
The "low on time" variations of the level tracks(except the one for normal bosses) are now in, and even these have differences. The biggest differences is some of the earlier versions plays at a higher pitch , while all of the tracks has the faster tempo defined in the midi files themselves. The tracks used in the final version instead relies on the sound_background_tempo function in Game maker, and they play at a slightly faster tempo compared to these.

Very different and rough, and a bit grating on the ears.
Text Differences
Due to the fact the game is so early in development by this point, there aren't any differences in terms of dialogue because the final game's cutscenes was just beginning to be drafted. As such, the only text that can be detailed in this build is the game information.
--Game Information--Very different compared to the final game. While most of the text is leftover from Crower VS The Time, the story text itself, while quite similar to the final game, is different in many spots, and even mentions details not found in the final game. Due to the fact that Uncle-John didn't yet exist in the game as a character, the fairly long dialogue between him and Kazooa doesn't occur in this early draft.
By the time the story was written, most of the game had yet to take shape even if the Wario: Master of Disguise influences began to take their presence, so that's probably why there's many details that don't end up making it into the final game, either visually or by mention. The text below is presented here in the way it was originally formatted(font and styling excluded).
