Unused Graphics

Early Final
And yet it spins Save this image and tile it for a "fun" desktop wallpaper

An earlier version of the life icon which is actually more detailed than the final graphic. Both icons also have unused spinning animations; The early icon spins horizontally, while the final icon spins vertically.

Early Final
You shouldn't say that naughty word BEES

The hilarious "GEES" was originally a less hilarious and slightly more offensive "DAMN", though the last tile for that graphic no longer exists. Damn.

You okay?
A background-based version of the sprite-based cheerleaders seen in the final game. Most of the tiles for the first and second frames were overwritten by the "GEES" graphic (Good sacrifice), but the other three frames are intact.

Who? Whody?
Incomplete graphics for two unused sponsors.

FreeKickOldNumbers.png
Like that cheerleader, these are background graphics that serve the same purpose as sprites used in the final game. These graphics match the numbers used on the Continue Play screen.

FreeKickPenaltyArc.png
An incomplete graphic for a penalty arc that uses a simpler art style than the final game's fields use.
