In Gimmick! 2, you’re back with the little green yokai, Yumetaro, and this time he's diving into a brand new adventure. Decades after his first journey, he is up against a world full of cool challenges, dangerous enemies, and hidden treasures waiting to be exposed. You can roll with a more chill, assisted mode if you want, but if you're looking for the real deal, there’s the original "Gimmick!" mode that’ll push you to your limits. Yumetaro’s got this sweet ability where he can summon and toss a bouncing star that’s packed with energy. The best part? It keeps its speed, so you can use it to hit switches fight off enemies or even ride it to reach places that seem impossible to get to. It’s not just about fighting – you’ll need to experiment with the star’s bounce to uncover treasure, find secret paths, or break speed records. Mastering that star’s physics is where the real fun comes in, so get creative with it.
And let’s not forget about the music! David Wise, who’s basically a legend, worked on the soundtrack. He’s dropped both fresh tracks and remixed some old classics for this one. With creative direction from Pelle Chandlerby and a live recording session in Sweden alongside Joel Bille, the tunes are as epic as the game itself.

The original Gimmick! game came out for the Famicom™ in 1992, but it only hit the West in Scandinavia, making it a hidden gem. Its advanced physics and mechanics were way ahead of its time turning it into something of a legend. But with Gimmick! 2, there’s no question – this is a game everyone should get to experience worldwide.
