Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games (Windows)

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: Bad grammar, bad organizing, bad image quality etc.

Dumb Ways to Die 2 started as part of the promotional countdown, so a series of video trailers were released on the website, and print advertising and posters were distributed. The game was finally released for all iOS devices on November 19, 2014. An Android compatible version was released on December 10, 2014. A Windows phone version was released on October 26, 2015.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Test out the debug enabled 'Dumb Ways to Die 2'.

Dummy Minigame#

Sprite ID: 2091 in dumbways.swf
In the game as 'DummyMinigameClip' there is a dummy minigame, most likely used for testing. In the center it says "Playing a Minigame", and on the top right corner (In bright red text) it says "PRERELEASE BUILD 31.10.2014" (31 October 2014).

Debug Menu#

Sprite ID: 3976 in dumbways.swf
Is A sprite labeled 'DebugClip' is used for a disabled debug mode. The debug mode can be enabled but since this is a game from the Windows Store, there is no actual way to see how it works.

Full Carousel Music#

The music track used in the Wheel of Misfortune (Sound ID: 3991 in dumbways.swf) is actually longer than what you can normally hear. The music ends after about four seconds, which prevents you from hearing the full 22-second loop. You can hear it in the iOS version by double-clicking the home button when the music is on.

Testing Button#

Sprite ID: 751 in dumbways.swf
A button used for testing. found offscreen in the title screen (Sprite ID: 752)

Facebook Station#

Sprite ID: 2135 in dumbways.swf

There is an unused station in the game called "Facebook Station UI" with a button below saying "Connect" (similar to the testing button above) with a back button on a blue background. It lets players connect to Facebook and challenge their friends and mentions 'Kids Mode', both leftovers from the mobile versions.

      FACEBOOK_LOGIN_SUCCESS:String = "facebookLoginSuccess";
      
      FACEBOOK_LOGIN_CANCELLED:String = "facebookLoginCancelled";
      
      FACEBOOK_LOGIN_FAILED:String = "facebookLoginFailed";
      
      MSG_SIGN_IN:String = "Sign in to see how you rate\nagainst your friends.";
      
      MSG_SIGN_IN_FAILED:String = "Sign in to see how you rate\nagainst your friends.";
      
      MSG_SIGN_IN_NOT_SUPPORTED:String = "Facebook is not supported on this platform.";
      
      MSG_SIGN_IN_NOT_SUPPORTED_KIDS_MODE:String = "Facebook is not supported in kids’ mode.";
      
      MSG_LEADERBOARD_LOADING:String = "Connecting ...";

Additionally, the player would've also had the option to share their victories and deaths to Facebook.

         _loc1_:ShareData = new ShareData("a facebook death share");
         _loc1_.title = "a facebook death share title";
         _loc1_.caption = "a facebook death share caption";
         _loc1_.url = "http://millipede.com.au";
         _loc1_.imageURL = "http://millipede.com.au/wp-content/themes/millipede5/resources/img/millipede.png";
