Demo 040.2

This build was showcased on deviantart back in December 2011, and is 632 days older than the final build of the game. There are many differences in comparision to the final game, with most of them only being accessible by getting past the barrier imposed by the demo.

(This page is a work-in-progress. The stuff related to this prototype page will eventually be added at some point. It is also in need of a heavy rewrite due to pages for other prototypes now having been made.)

General differences.

The Status bar is using the Comic Sans font for the hud display.
No smoke is coming from behind Kazooa when shoulder bashing.
No debris appears when rocks or chests are destroyed.
Defeated enemies(except the World 4 enemy) have red hands instead of white.
The cursor graphic is at its actual size in this build. In the final game it's been shrunk a bit.
