Proto:Where's My Perry?

This page details one or more prototype versions of Where's My Perry?.

To do: Differences between this version and 1.0.1 (the first released version). Unused levels. Levels that are in the game files, but are not playable in-game. Unused assets Early music Compare First Boil to the version used in the free version Other differences such as menu and Story differences.

A prototype of Where's My Perry? was found on the iOS App Store by downgrading the app with the version id 8149240 with the version name 0.9 (although the App Store says 1.0.0, because apps have to start at 1.0.0 on the first upload, and it's the wrong version that they picked!). This version seems to be the one showcased at E3 2012, due to the similarities, and the level file E3_ice_waterfall. Since the final released version is very different from the first released version, all comparisons will be comparing the prototype and version 1.0.1, with a few exceptions, which will be noted as they occur.

Graphical Differences

• The gnome icons were different.
• The heatinator had different graphics.
  • The beam that the laser shoots is also different.
    • The same applies for the coolinator having a different beam.
• Water, Sludge, Hot Sludge, Cold Sludge, Steam, Ice, Dirt, and Rock use different graphics/materials.
• Water tubes and Taps uses different graphics.
• The pad features a different design.
• The app icon has a grey background instead of the final yellow background. The art of Perry also lacks shading.

Proto	1.0.1

Levels

Only 20 levels are accessible normally, but there exist 84 additional unused levels in the files (though some are alternate versions of the same levels). Most of the levels are unfinished versions of levels found in the final game. Their internal names indicate that they are earlier versions of the levels dated back to pre-0.9 builds of the game which had a different level order.

Used levels

These levels are directly accessible in the prototype, under the first (and only) level pack "An Agent I Can Trust".

This level was named "First Boil" and was initially level 12. This level became a level in the free version in which was called "Boiling Point".

	Proto	Final

Level name	Honeycomb (Duckycomb)	Pool Party
Level number	1-4	1-15
File name	19_duckycomb	15_pool_party

The level's file name (19_duckycomb) references ducks, implying that this level may have been designed for Where's My Water? initially before being repurposed for the spin-off. The level number was 19.

	Proto	Final

Level name	Too Hot To Touch (Bad Laser)	Warning: Lasers Convert Water
Level number	1-5	1-10
File name	14_bad_laser	10_warning_lasers_convert_water

	Proto	Final

Level name	Don't Stop Moving	Warning: Don't Chill Out
Level number	1-8	2-5
File name	05_dont_stop_moving	05_warning_dont_chill_out

The water starts out touching the ice in the prototype, so it will start freezing immediately unless you dig. In the final, dirt was added to prevent this. The path to the goal and the dead end were also swapped. Was originally level number 05.

	Proto	Final
Screenshot
Level name	Coolinator Debut (Blue Laser)	Cold Fusion
Level number	1-9	2-2
File name	01_blue_laser	02_cold_fusion

Two stone barriers were added in the final to prevent the level from being cheesed. According to its internal name, the level number was 01 which implies it will start out at 2-1.

Level name	Ice Waterfall	N/A	Frozen Waterfall
Level number	1-10	N/A	2-4
File name	E3_ice_waterfall	04_ice_waterfall	04_frozen_waterfall

The used version in the prototype has the bottom left filled in with stone and the heatinator placed above it at an angle. The unused version more closely matches the final version of the level, as it does not have the stone there and places the heatinator opposite the coolinator facing almost straight up. This level's file name also suggests that it was designed to be shown off at E3, likely making this prototype the one that was demoed at E3 2012, and Ice Waterfall was 04 instead of 1-10, which was in the process of finalizing the stage.

Unused levels

These levels are not referenced in the game's database and therefore do not have confirmed level numbers or names. The following screenshots come from a modified version of the prototype with all levels made accessible, and as such, the level numbers seen in them are entirely arbitrary, and the level names are purely speculative based on the file names (though some do correspond to actual strings, but there's no guarantee that they would've been the one used).
