Frames for a text animation that says "The Alpha Demo", meant to be displayed after a "Thank You For Playing" message. This can be seen in this alpha playthrough.

An overlay tag for the top-right corner of the screen indicating an alpha build.

An overlay tag for the bottom-right of the screen, warning that the music in a given level is not final.

Title screen elements from the alpha build of the game.

An info screen from the alpha build that goes through features and presents a bit of info before playing.

Two full-screen images intended for a pre-final build that address a Let's Player named Bazinski. Bazinski had previously done a video on the alpha build of Macbat 64, but did not follow up with the pre-final build these images are intended for. The emblem on the bottom right reads "20 years of low-poly 64 bit goodness!"
