Gameplay

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] 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]
