Unused Graphics

A lot of graphics which are possibly leftovers from the Game Maker Engine.

A bunch of random effects which aren't unused in the game.

Hidden Mode?

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find a way to work. In case they really work.

A mode called "potatoMode" can be found on mainsave.ini, located at AppData\Local\Overture_3_29_15_Data. Enabling seems to do nothing, but it's possible something related to the Credits' category called "[Potato]".

There's also a file called "versionAndDebug.txt" inside the game's .exe. Its contents are:

[VERSION]
2.2.0
[DEBUG]
0
[DEMO]

[MOBILE MODE]

Enabling any of the modes seems to do nothing as well.

TweenGMS

The game contains files for TweenGMS, which is a Tweening Engine for the Game Maker Studio. HTML files for Script References and a Starter Guide can be found. An Update Log is also found in the game's files, but it's only a TXT.
