Shoot for the Stars and Jump for Joy: Gimmick! 2 is here


The adorable yokai Yumetaro returns in a platform game bursting with charm and challenge. Brimming with colorful new characters, candy-soaked landscapes, gamers are once again invited to embark on an unforgettable adventure utilizing a unique physics-based Star mechanic which will challenge seasoned platforming veterans, and delight novices thanks to a new easier mode for those who prefer a more relaxing adventure. The original Gimmick! game was developed by SUNSOFT and released in 1992. It's been decades since gamers last experienced the tight platforming mechanics and fiendish challenge made famous by Gimmick!. The sequel is developed by the Swedish studio Bitwave Games. The fusion of Sweden and Japan shows with open fields inspired by Swedish Midsummer, and cold, icy mountains, while still staying true to the heritage of the original game. [previewyoutube=zybESjXGWdE;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] Smooth controls and sharp level design are super important but few things are as crucial for a video game as its soundtrack. A major reason we still remember all those classics from the '80s and '90s with such fondness is their music. The all-new retro inspired soundtrack of Gimmick! 2 comes from the celebrated composer David Wise. He has been writing video game music since the 80s for games all over the world such as Donkey Kong Country, Yooka-Laylee, Battletoads, and Snake Rattle 'n' Roll . Get ready to shoot for the stars and jump for joy!

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.
