Looking back on some early Pig Rush screenshots, I thought it would be interesting to see how other developers' games looked in the early development stages compared to the final submission to the App Store.

Here's a now vs. then comparision of Pig Rush:

And then:



As you can see, it was a bit rough around the edges in the early days!

It is amazing to see how games develop, and to realise that these games aren't perfect on the first build.

The earliest screenshots used the characters from my previous mobile game, Snails.



The first 'cat' used in the game was extremely simple.



Flick finally developed a personality and a look all his own.
