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 perform 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]
Development
The game is developed by Ubisoft Osaka and published by Ubisoft.[3] Disney Interactive Studios and the 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, previously used in games such as Rayman Legends, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts: The Great War.[2] It was announced on July 9, 2015,[5] and was released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS on October 20, 2015.[6]
