Spring Man
Two screenshots of Spring Man, the working title of the game in 1994, were featured in Issue 9 of Edge, apparently from Telebi Asahi's Tonight.
This screenshot shows a polygonal 3D city seen from the viewpoint of an early HUD.
This looks like an early design for Robbit! This design has a visor akin to an astronaut rather than the final's cute bunny face, as well as more pronounced legs with gray "toes".
