Super Granny 4

To do:
There's a next level screen that's very bare bones I have yet to find. First level in the "warsaw" folder has some differences, with the multiplayer only having two out of the 51 levels of the final. Loadsa tutorial dialogue differences like with the tutorial text.

This page details one or more prototype versions of Super Granny 4.
