Gnasty Gnorc was written out of the storyline, only 9 levels and 90 dragonflies made it into the final release. Ultimately the game suffered from an inconsistent framerate, numerous visual and sound glitches, long loading times and freezing.

Due to pressure from Vivendi Games (then Universal Interactive Studios) the game was rushed for a release in Winter 2002. It boasted 60 frames per second, over 25 levels and 120 dragonflies to collect. It was to feature Gnasty Gnorc and Ripto teaming up to capture the dragonflies. The original plot and features for the game is considerably different from that in the final release. Playable in Enter the Dragonfly aswell as 2 new playable vehicles the Tank and Spitfire plane.
