Zuma's Revenge! (Xbox 360)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Zuma's Revenge! (Xbox 360).

To do: Actual differences. Can you get the debug console working on it?

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A prototype XBLA build dated April 10, 2012, just over a month before release, was released in the Alpha Archive.

• The bomb powerup SFX is different.
• The unlocked modes SFX is different.

Inputs#

To do: Double check if there's more.

• LStick: Heavily slows down balls.
• RStick: Increases the speed cap of balls.

Disabled Anti-Piracy#

There's an entry in the config file called RequireSecretCode which is set to false. If it's enabled, it locks out the title screen unless a 6-digit "secret code" using A, B, X, Y, and LT+RT is entered. Given by the note in the configuration file, this would have probably been used to prevent the game from being playable by random developers on PartnerNet outside of PopCap.
