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.

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!
