- There is no music.
- There are a minimal amount of sound effects. Only dialogue, dialogue choices, and moving the cursor in battle will emit sound. There are a total of 12 in comparison to the final game's total of 300+.
- According to the Ladybug Knight's dialogue, Bugaria was supposed to be a placeholder name.
- The art is lower quality and mostly pixelated.
- Total time elapsed is shown in the file select screen but not in the pause screen.
- Instead of portraits, the pause menu displays full body drawings of the characters.

- Bestiary entries show enemies' elemental weaknesses.
- The party members learn their skills by collecting a key item.
- There are only 3 maps: Test Room, Outside Snakemouth's Den, and Snakemouth's Den: Room 1.
- Dialogue boxes have the name of who is speaking in a smaller, colored box at the top of the dialogue box. Many NPCs don't have their proper names and instead are described more generically.
- Food items restore different HP and TP amounts.
- Overworld abilities do not share the same button as the cancel button (default X). Instead, they have their own button (default D).
- Vi, Kabbu, and Leif are referred to as Bee, Beetle, and Moth, respectively.
- Vi is much meaner and arrogant in this prototype, but was toned down in the final version to avoid people getting so much hate for her, according to the writer, Genow.

- While Vi and Leif look almost exactly like their final versions, Kabbu looks a bit different. He has light gray shoulder pads and has more edges.

In Battle Differences
- Turn Relay doesn't exist and its button is replaced by something called "Tri Attack", but pressing it does nothing.
- There is no EXP reward for killing enemies, and therefore no rank.
- If someone dies during battle, they are not resurrected to 1 HP when the battle is over.
- Vi uses needles in her normal attack.
- Kabbu will dash through an enemy in his normal attack. His dash attack was added in the 1.1 version of the final game, but is a teamwork ability rather than a normal attack.
- Spuder is encountered by running into a generic Jellyshroom.
Spy Log Differences

Zombiant | Vi: Eww. What is that thing growing on that ant's head? It's so creepy. I think this is one of those "possessed bugs"! It seems to have 5 HP. Maybe 3 attack too? Ouch, that hurts! It seems to hate the cold, though! Lets take it out quickly! Kabbu: This ant...it's been reanimated post-mortem by a cordyceps. It's movements are slow and predictable... It's MAX HP is very likely 5, with 3 attack power. No defenses. Studies show that fungi slow down at low temperatures, so it should be easy to freeze it. I will personally end it's suffering. Leif: Cordyceps...What an unsightly host it has picked. It possesses 5 HP and it's attacks deals 3 damage. Our ice attacks should be exceptionally effective. Let us get rid of this eyesore. |
Vi: Eep! That Ant is... possessed! No way! That's just a story the Queen tells kids to scare them... This is too creepy! I'm gonna take it out! Kabbu: By Venus... That Ant walks after its passing! A "Zombiant!" I truly believed they were nothing more than a myth. It is my duty as a fellow explorer... to end its suffering! Leif: Cordyceps. It seems it picked an Ant as its host. How weird, that it would attack us. It's nothing special, our attacks should take it out quickly. |
Jellyshroom (called "Mushroom" in demo) | Vi: This one's a fun gal. Heh. See what I did there? No? ...Okay. It looks weak, so it should have only 4 HP and 2 attack! It looks poisonous, so watch out for any funny moves! Let's just pummel it already! Kabbu: This mushroom went through an incredible evolutionary process and became more like an animal. It has 4 HP and 2 attack power, judging from it's looks. It's poison attacks are quite dangerous, but we should be able to take it down quickly. Leif: What an unsightly being. It's neither a fungus nor an animal, and it shoots poison to boot. It's stats are 4 HP and 1 attack. No defense. We will dispose of it quickly and brutally. |
Vi: Cripes, is that a flying Mushroom? This cave does some weird stuff to things... I'll knock it out of the air! Kabbu: By the Queen...! What an abomination. I cannot hurt this beast while it is airborne. Vi, would you lend me your strength? Leif: Huh. Mushrooms get crazier by the day. Although some of our skills could finish it off quickly... Vi, help save us some TP. |

For you, how about 40 berries? Kabbu: Hngh! A bit steep... Vi: ...Kabbu, if you spend all the berries we made in Snakemouth here, I'll never forgive you. Kabbu: ...... Leif: Kabbu.
