Litil Divil

Litil Divil is a video game from Gremlin Graphics Software, released for the Phillips CD-I and MS-DOS in 1993 and for the Amiga CD32 in 1994. The player controls Mutt, a dog-like devil living in the Underworld, on a quest to retrieve the "Mystical Pizza of Plenty" from the Labyrinth of Chaos. The game saw several delays and was first advertised in magazines under the title Little Divil. Critics generally praised its graphics, sound, and humorous art style and tone, but some felt that certain parts of the gameplay felt like padding.

The gameplay puts the player in charge of Mutt, a small red devil, as he navigates the Labyrinth of Chaos to find the Mystical Pizza of Plenty. The dungeon is a maze shown from an over-the-shoulder perspective, with rooms where Mutt faces various riddles.

Development of Litil Divil began in July 1990, and the Amiga CD32 version arrived after four years of work in August 1994, following multiple delays. The original art design, however, was said to have been created five years before the game's release. A demo was initially made by Emerald Software, and the game was developed concurrently with Plan 9 From Outer Space in 1992 by Gremlin Sheffield, under the name Little Divil. The first release was on CD for PC; a later floppy disk version required removing animation frames and lowering music quality due to compression. The One magazine interviewed programmer Tommy Rolfe about development. The game was programmed by Gremlin Ireland, though work began at Gremlin Sheffield, where Rolfe said it started five years earlier, producing artwork and sketches before being handed over. One of the original designers was Heimdall 2 artist Jerr O'Carroll, who left Gremlin for Core Design in 1991; his art style is visible in Mutt's design.

Originally, there were five different Mutts competing to get through five levels of Hell, but the team decided to focus on one character, and Hell was later changed to the Underworld. The Mystic Pizza of Plenty plot device was added late in development. Steve McKevitt of publisher Gremlin Graphics named the game, choosing "Litil Divil" over "Little Devil" because his wife has an Irish accent and would say "Ooh, you litil divil" to the kids when they were naughty.
