Gravity Falls: Magic Rune Mystery

To do:

Confirm any other developers if possible.
Revisional differences, versions 1-7.
- According to the game page on the show's wiki, the version that changed the title did appear live in 2015, anything beyond that is likely retail and should be documented.

An exclusive game from the Watch Disney XD app for your mobile device, featuring two modes for the Pines twins, one going up and the other going down, both with obstacles afloat while collecting colorful runes.

Unused Audio#

To do:
There may be more.

js/config/config.js mentions audio files for the game to use with configuration settings for each entry, some are defined in animation JSONs, and others managed to just be left in the game server.

Filename	Configuration	Description
snd_interface_tryagain.ogg	`"id": "snd_interface_tryagain", "loops": 1, "vol": 1, "ios": 0, "instances": 3`	Possibly a sound when failing something.
snd_rs_freeze.ogg	`"id": "snd_rs_freeze", "loops": 1, "vol": 1, "ios": 0, "instances": 3`

Developer Copyright#

Versions 1-6 have a file named js/config/Assets.js, while used by versions 1-4, it also contains a copyright message.

Removed Game Mode#

A text string being Pterodactyl Puncher exists and assigned for a third help popup which the game has pretty much just two, it's possible it was supposed to be a third game mode.

Debugging Material#

To do:
Inaccessible debug code like PlayerPlatformBall.prototype.toogleFreeMovement(), SGameExt.prototype.debugToogleCollision() and collision display.

Cheat Keys#

Versions 1-4 detect the following case-sensitive cheat keys during gameplay, while the function that detects keypresses is dummied in other versions, the actual cheat functions remained.

Key	Effect
W	Dummied, despite having working code, according to the log call, it would've been an instant win cheat.
L	Dummied, according to the log call, it would've been an instant lose cheat.
Escape	Dummied, simply called escape by the log call. It's possible this would've sent the user back to the main menu, akin to Bamtang's other games.
T	Displays a random achievement earn popup.
1	Unlocks golden runes.
2	Completes golden runes.
3	Completes puzzle pieces.

Internal Project Names#

To do:
GFM_Gameplay_jump is also seen in v1, is it another internal name? Minigames?

The game is internally referred to as GFA¹, while GF is quite obviously Gravity Falls, we're not sure what A means, maybe App or Adventure²? The game modes however are Platform Jumper³ and Platform Ball⁴.
