This is a sub-page of Proto:Freedom Planet.

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Version 1.4.0 was the first test build sent out to Kickstarter backers who pledged at least $50. All five characters are present, and only the mostly-completed stages (Dragon Valley, Relic Maze, and Aqua Tunnel) are available.

General Differences

  • Carol's ability to roll has been removed.
  • Milla can now use her Phantom Blocks. Her Shield was moved to the Special button.
  • The game's aspect ratio has been changed to 16:9.
  • The Kingdom Stone is internally named "Life Stone".
  • Sky Battalion is "Sky Battle".
  • Jade Creek is "Chaos Creek".

Graphical Differences

Milla, sorta, does a praying motion before standing up?

Audio Differences

Proto Final

The music used for the boss fight in Aqua Tunnel is quite unfinished and missing some parts.

Unused Character

In this build, Torque is playable for the first time, accessed through memory editing.

He was going to play similar to Red and Blue from Gunstar Heroes: picking up a Keystone would give one of his two blaster slots an element. It would have been possible to toggle between two separate shots or a combo of them.

At this stage of development, Keystones do not affect the blaster in any way, and he can only make use of one blaster slot by pressing the Action button. However, different projectiles have been programmed in and could be accessed through memory editing.

How the elements affect the blaster shot:

  • Wood: "Level 1" is a spread shot at two angles, "level 2" adds a third shot. Combined with
  • Earth: "Level 1" shoots out an arrow that would, after hitting something, briefly move in a circle before disappearing. "Level 2" makes the arrow bigger.
  • Water: "Level 1" is a singular, forward-angled blaster. "Level 2" makes it slightly bigger.
  • Fire: "Level 1" is a rapid-fire blaster. "Level 2" makes for a bigger flame.
  • Metal: "Level 1" shoots out a projectile looking exactly like the normal Blaster in the final game, albeit colored gray. "Level 2", again, makes the projectile bigger.

By default, Torque uses the "level 1" Fire projectile, though there exists a much weaker "no element" blaster shot as well.

Other Notes

  • Unused code allows Torque to aim straight upwards and downwards.
  • He cannot shoot while on a ladder.
  • He cannot use his dash.
  • Instead of free air movement, his hover only allows him to glide.
  • Torque is unable to progress through "Dragon Valley 3" since he cannot push down one of the wooden logs.
  • Beating the Hunter Snake would softlock the stage as Torque is not programmed to return on-screen after the boss explodes.
  • He has a different idle animation (same as to final, only played backward).
  • He is missing his Half-Corkscrew animations.
  • Certain elements of his HUD are off-center by a few pixels.

Unused Cutscene
