To do:

  • Document the debug menu more adequately.
  • Check for unused models and textures using the debug menu.
  • Potential pre-release content: this German trailer is a good place to start.

In Zapper, you control an electric cricket who's out to save his brother from a thieving magpie. It plays a lot like Frogger; incidentally, the developers for this game previously developed Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge.

Internally named TEST1. This map is fairly bare-bones, however it appears one of the developers decided to put their own head in here as a special effect.
