Gameplay

Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is a side-scrolling platform game. Players assume control of Dipper and Mabel, and they can freely switch between them at any moment during the game. The two characters have different abilities. Dipper can combat enemies with a close-ranged weapon called Gnome Battle Cuffs and look for clues using a flashlight, while Mabel can utilize a grappling hook to reach high grounds, and combat enemies with ranged attacks by her "Fleece of Bedazzlement-enhanced sweater sleeves".[1] Players can purchase new items from vendors, and return to the regions they have previously explored, similar to a metroidvania.[2] The game also includes humor based on its own cliché story utilized in videogames.

Development

Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is developed by Ubisoft Osaka and published by Ubisoft.[3] Disney Interactive Studios and show creator Alex Hirsch were involved in the game's development.[4] Hirsch created the key art of the game.[2] The game is an adaptation of the TV series instead of a tie-in.[2] Therefore, the game features an original story.[4] The game is powered by Ubisoft's in-house UbiArt Framework engine.[2] It was announced on July 9, 2015,[5] and was released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS on October 20, 2015.[6]

gollark: I probably want one of the mRNA ones, but the UK bought up a lot of the Oxford adenovirus one which seems less good.
gollark: Over time, probably.
gollark: I mean, eventually, yes, give or take a somewhat broken economy, more remote work, sort of thing.
gollark: There were surveys done on it here but I forgot what the actual results were.
gollark: Until very wide deployment is actually managed.
