La-Mulana Early Release is an almost finished version of the game that was released early (hence the name) on GR3Project's website for open testing.
General Differences
- The prologue cutscene is still not here, and the title screen still doesn't go back to the Kobami logo screen.
- Only map files 0 to 19 are present; this means the game's fully clearable, but bar the Maze of Galious' entrance, you can't play any minigames or the Hell Temple. As a result, music themes from those areas are also missing.
- Unlike any other version, you close the game by pressing F11. Bizarrely, doing it with Alt+F4 doesn't work.
Opening Cutscene

The text is in proper caps instead of all caps.

The SYSTEM WINDOW, containing the infamous typo on the Continue option. Contrary to belief that the number keys changed the sound volume in a version closer to the final, here they don't work at all. In fact, none of the options except for CONITNUE do, having yet to be implemented according to a disclaimer below the prototype's Download page.
Music Test Menu
 | This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There's more music titles blanked out, please find and put them here. See if there are more differences too. |
A bunch of tracks are named differently here unlike in the final: Sky Tower is named "eve"; Earth Wind, which has an entry despite not appearing normally in the game, is named "Children's Song"; and "Mother will be awakened" is simply titled "Mother". There are also other music titles that are simply blanked out, such as Interstice of the dimention (sic).
