I had forgotten all about those crazy Acc Belts, so it was nice to see them in action. Just a few small notes, more like thoughts than actual corrections:
  • You're right that the potion is animated, but no food pickups are. So why assume it was supposed to be a food pickup at all? The animation set it that it's in is very general, containing powerups, ammo crates, and all sorts of stuff besides just food. Labrat does seem like a plausible place for it to have gone, though.
  • Do you really not have resolution options? My 1.00g has more resolutions than in the final game. Weird!
  • You wondered why there are old toilets and computers sitting around: probably because much of its visual style was based on New Junk City from Earthworm Jim.
  • Airboards do make additional appearances in Battle3 and Treasur2.
  • Speaking of Treasur2, if you open its .lev in MLLE, you'll notice the old-style hooks are still in the tileset for that level, even though they were replaced with the wider ones in every other Labrat level.
  • In fairness to Epic: the only ice ammo in the whole first episode is in Knight Cap, in one of three paths you may choose to take, and even that only if you're Jazz. It's not a foregone conclusion that you'll be able to freeze the robot boss. That said, it is almost certainly a bug.
1: I was just going by an old article from the wiki that said it was an unused food item. And yes, it's possible it was a powerup or something. There's no concrete proof on what it is in the first place, so one way or another I don't think it's worth dwelling on.
2: I have 2 resolutions, 640x480x16 and 640x480x6. There's no option for windowed mode either.
3: And yes I forgot how heavily inspired some parts of the game were after Eathworm Jim.
4 and 5: Interesting! I haven't even looked at the multiplayer levels for 1.00g, and I may cover them in a bonus video after the main 4 episodes are done. I got at least 3 planned.
6: Yeah I don't think it was intentional. Maybe if freezer ammo actually had a use you would have used it up by the time you go there.
