- Uses death as shortcut
- Takes damage to save time
- Manipulates luck
- Genre: Platform
Gimmick! is a very short game that was only released in Japan and Europe. It's about a small green creature who can summon stars to help him defeat monsters and to use them as platforms to reach high places and travel fast. Using the stars is difficult and Deign's acrobatics look quite impressive.

Note that the author dies several times in the movie to speed things up

Deign's movie here does not collect the special items required to access the secret 7th level which the other Gimmick!-run does.

This is a 30 second improvement over the previous movie by Nitsuja.
