Whip

The game has two unused sprites which the purpose is unknown. However it is worth noting that the internal name of these sprites is OBWHIP, which is exactly the same as Popcorn's plant.

Explosion

Unused red grenadier ant emerging from the ground.

Red Grenadier projectile

This is most likely Red Grenadier projectile as its names are UNANTRGR60, UNANTRGR61 and UNANTRGR62. Whereas unused Red Grenadier sprites have names UNANTRGR54, UNANTRGR55 and UNANTRGR56.

Slapfight Fighter

This is the most interesting unused art. Apparently there is a spaceship hidden in the game. It might be an Easter Egg or totally unused graphic. It is also worth noting that the spaceship has its own unit ID. Moreover, the fighter's projectile can be spawned in the game using HEX editor. Although spawning the spaceship crashes the game.

Unused Sounds

The following sounds were meant to be used for the spaceship.

Sound Description
