You into hardcore 2D platformers?
And do you like lil' green guys, just like, gooby wooby lookin' orbs of green?
Then I present to youGimmick!
2, which has an unexpected exclamation point before the “2” and all of the above.
For a brief nugget of context, the original Gimmick!
was a Famicomplatformerdeveloped by Sunsoft and released in 1992.
Funnily enough, at the time it only ever got localised for Scandinavia, where it was called Mr.
Gimmick (what all of the Demon Souls bosses should’ve been named… ahem, anyway).
And it has since been re-released a bunch of times, most recently getting a 2023 remaster called Gimmick!
And so Swedish dev Bitwave and publisher Sunsoft have come together to release Gimmick!
2, many years later.
In it you’ll hop and avoid spikes and do puzzles, like almost all other platformers.
There’s an assisted mode if you want an easier time, otherwise you’ve got the Gimmick!
mode for the “true-to-the-original” challenge.
you’re free to find the game over onSteamif you’re interested.
Cheers to RPS commenter treelo for giving us the heads-up.
