That's an excellent idea. It would take some time to play through all the different prototypes and compare them to the final game, but it would make a great feature.

Maybe she has extending arms to give her a longer reach.
I'm sure Wren would have made sure she was able to reach all of the controls she needed when designing her.
Wren himself is a little abnormally tall, so maybe he made Demi shorter thinking she would match the average height of humans? He missed the mark a little, but he's not perfect. I'm glad her sprite reflects that she has to take more steps. It's a level of detail most games wouldn't have included.
