File: IgglePopResFolder.7z (39 MB) (info)

Iggle Pop Deluxe is a journey to the Land of Fuzz, where the player must collect colorful Iggles and deliver them to their color-coded destinations while keeping the Zoogs at bay.

To do:

  • A LOT of subversion repos in the Mac version.

Unused Graphics#

A crude loading bar that can only be seen by modifying splashScreen.xml.
Iggle_Pop_Homeringgreen.jpg

A green ring, which presumably would've been used to highlight an iggle home.

Unused slow pickup, probably used to stop the time.

Iggle_Pop_Trappedrainbow0.jpg Iggle_Pop_Trappedrainbow1.jpg

Graphics for a scrapped rainbow color.

A scrapped dragon enemy.

Iggle_Pop_Hero1south0.jpg Iggle_Pop_Hero1south0.png

Early Fizzy's in-game graphics.

Developer Leftovers#

To do:
There's some thumbs.db files and an icon file, sfk files too, in Windows that is.

The IgglePop.saf file has some leftovers.

Source Code#

fuzzlefrenzy.rc is present at the root, along with a binary version of it.

The binary format suggests the Windows version was compiled in:

c:\Documents and Settings\Roeland\Desktop\IgglePop_Release_0411\Release-04.11.04\FuzzleFrenzy

While the Mac version has a different revision of the file, suggesting it was compiled in:

c:\data\dev\build\Release\IgglePop\Release-04.11.04\FuzzleFrenzy\

Unused Text#

Skip Level
Pause
Save/Quit
Debug Layer

Leftover text from a possible developer cheats menu.

No parameters to edit...
There are unsaved changes. are you sure you want to do this?
Unable to load last editor level

Leftover text from the level editor.

Subversion Leftovers#

To do:
Compare content with the GameHouse ver.

The Mac version contains 13MB of content from a Subversion repository from assumably a branch for the GameHouse version.

Since the version control expects you to be connected to PopCap's internal network, you cannot access the revision history of the repository. The repository URLs point to internal PopCap servers, and as a result, they cannot be accessed by someone outside of the company.

The entries file in .svn is shown below:

We can get a glimpse of the properties of these files/directories by running a Subversion command such as svn info -R --include-externals in the root directory.
NOTE: Since these files are in an older version of the format (format 8), the command svn upgrade has to be executed before the one above if using newer versions of Subversion.

Level Editor#

To do:
Try to access the level editor, in the main menu's layout XML buttons to start it are present but seem to have been disabled.

Inside IgglePop.saf, there's a few files that refer to a level editor, which seems to have been disabled from the game.

Level editor's UI.

Controls#

  • Category selector: Below the "Edit Mode" text, there's several toggles, for floor tiles, power-ups, etc. Which are used to select the category of the objects to select in the grey square above.
  • Parameter changer: Lets you change the parameters of the level you're editing.
  • Change theme: Lets you change the background and tileset of the level you're editing.
  • Color changer: Presumably, would've been used to change the color of the fuzzle homes and caged fuzzles to select in the grey square above.

File Operations#

  • New: Creates a new level.
  • Wipe: Clears the level you're editing.
  • Load: Loads a level from a selected location.
  • Re-Load: Reloads the level you're editing.
  • Save: Saves the level you're editing.
  • Save As: Saves the level on a selected location.
  • Play: Playtest the level you're editing.

Graphic Oddities#

Iggle_Pop_StorySCR1.jpg Iggle_Pop_StorySCR2.jpg Iggle_Pop_StorySCR3.jpg Iggle_Pop_StorySCR4.jpg

Strangely, all of these help screens have crude graphics that aren't present in the final game, including the old Fizzy's sprites seen above.
