======Starting Planet======
The starting planet of Good Egg Galaxy showcases a different house that has a much different design compared to the final game. The large tree that is found on the planet resembles a coniferous tree in the demo, compared to the more deciduous styled tree in the final game. On the bottom half of the planet, the layout is mostly similar to the final game, with a few small differences. The exit to this planet in the demo is achieved by a pull star, which propels the player into a sling star, which will throw the player into a launch star, while in the final game, the planet is exited by using a single launch star. Instead of the planets exit leading to the Boulder Planet, it instead brings you to the a cluster of Tropic Planets.
