Prerelease:Antonball Deluxe/Version 1006

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Antonball Deluxe.

A few weeks before the game's release, a stream was held on Twitch revealing the game's online mode. The build in this footage is listed as Version 1006, and has a few minor differences.

Online Menu

• The top header reads "Antonline", compared to the game's final "Online". Although a good pun, this was removed due to Antonline already being trademarked. A reference to this name can still be found in the final game, with the background being titled bg_antonline.
• The lobby screen wasn't formatted properly. One of the developers mentioned during the stream this needed some extra work.

Character Select

• Players 3 and 4 are missing their tags, these exact tags go unused in the SAGE & Steam demos.
• There's no prompt for players to leave or rebind the controls.
• The character selection noise still uses the sound from the SAGE & Steam demos.
• Nina's portrait has some differences, having bigger pupils, a different hairstyle and a pointy thumb.

Version 1006	Final

VS. Level Select

• Beach Brawl has a different icon, with this screenshot being taken from the top left of the screen.

Version 1006	Mockup	Final

• The bottom scrolling text is from the Antonball / Punchball campaign.

VS. Levels

• The Sewer background is slightly different, having the pipes in a different location and sized differently.

Version 1006	Final

• The water rippling effect in Beach Brawl is more visible.
• Gundrops and triple ball drops don't have their icons, instead showing their brick counterpart.
• The win-lose counter font uses the prompt / pause menu font.
• The Rematch option is still there, which was removed from the final game.

Antonball Levels

• None of the levels have coins or gundrops.
• The triple ball and ghost bricks are flipped for some reason.
• Phase 2 has no triple or gun bricks.
• Phases 2, 3 and 5 have no alternating wall skribbles.
• The bonus phases still use the old background and tiles. This was mentioned during the stream.
• Intermission 1 still uses its early sprites.
• Phase 12 has a completely different and more crude design for Annie's face.

Version 1006	Final

Misc

• Annie can't turn around for some reason. The other characters can.
• The pause menu still has the Restart option, something that was in the SAGE & Steam demos, but was removed from the final game.
• The only displayed funny icon shows Nash from Crash Nitro Kart, a placeholder of course.
