About This Game

A Classic Challenge Modernized

In Gimmick! 2, you once again meet the green little yokai Yumetaro. Decades after his first adventure he now sets out on a new quest in a world packed with interesting challenges, dangerous enemies, and hidden treasures. The game can be played in either a friendlier assisted mode, or if you’re up for a challenge play in the true-to-the-original “Gimmick!” mode!

Star physics

As a yokai, Yumetaro has the ability to summon and throw a powerful star that not only bounces, but also keeps the momentum of his movement. The Star can be used to activate switches, defend against enemies and even be ridden to get to those hard-to-reach places while exploring the secrets of the world. You can discover treasure, find shortcuts or set speed records by mastering the star's bouncing physics. Experiment with it to unlock its full potential. This is a game with true star power!

A Legendary Soundtrack

The composer David Wise hardly needs any introduction. In his work on the Gimmick! 2 soundtrack, he has both written completely new melodies and remade old classics. The soundtrack was creatively directed by Pelle Cahndlerby and recorded live in Sweden together with Joel Bille.

Blast from the past

The original Gimmick! game was released for the Famicom™ in 1992. It was localized and released in the West - but only in Scandinavia. This, combined with the fact that the game's physics and gameplay mechanics were far ahead of its time, made the game both fabled and beloved. With Gimmick! 2, however, there is no longer any doubt: this is a game that the whole world should have the chance to experience.

[h1] Easily one of the best platformers on Steam. [/h1] No escuses, you have to buy it if you're even remotely into platformers. The game is beautiful, affordable and, most importantly, flawless to the core. The controls are very precise, movement is fast and fluid, while the puzzles range from fun to brilliant. Give it a try.

first of all, what a mindblowing fact this game even exists, the original gimmick was a bit of an obsession for me for years leading up to this games release, so the idea of getting a sequel was honestly... worrying. i wasnt sure if anything could ever live up to the first game i had probably dumped atleast 50-100 hours into at that point i was wrong what a great game, pretty much everything i loved about the original gimmick multiplied by a million, and polished up to modern standards. a must play game imo, and one of the few games i plan on 100%ing every few years, alongside super mario galaxy 2 music is phenomenal, level design is tight and fun, with a lot of different angles of approach at every corner, where the game challenges you to take an alternate route, or to do a little puzzle room requiring quick thinking and reflexes the only minor complaint i have tbh relates to the ending, [spoiler] i wish we had a unique song for the ending that wasnt just reusing the opening again...

all criticism towards the lack of involvement of the creator aside, gimmick 2 is a pretty alright physics/puzzle platformer. a handful of worlds, accompanied by a pretty fun soundtrack makes for a decent time all around. good amount of collectibles to gun for in decent platforming sequences.
