About GIMMIKO CLASSIC
GIMMIKO CLASSIC is a dice roguelike with a folklore theme. Waves of yokai, the spirits and creatures of Japanese folklore, come for your shrine, and you defend it by throwing magic dice at them.
You move with WASD, aim with the mouse, throw a die with left click and pull your dice back toward you with right click. Throwing and recalling is the core loop, so you're always weighing where your dice are against where the yokai are coming from.
This is the original jam version, left unchanged while a bigger version is in the works. You can play GIMMIKO CLASSIC online here in short runs.
How to Play GIMMIKO CLASSIC
- Click inside the game window to give it focus.
- Move with WASD.
- Aim with the mouse and left click to throw a die.
- Right click to pull your dice back toward you.
- Keep the yokai away from your shrine as each wave comes in.
- Survive as many waves as you can; each run starts fresh.
What to Expect in GIMMIKO CLASSIC
Expect a busy, slightly chaotic arena game. The yokai keep coming in waves, and your dice are both your weapon and something you have to keep track of. Pulling them back at the right moment matters as much as the throw.
The art is bright and cartoony, and the folklore theme gives it a playful twist. As a dice roguelike, every run is a fresh attempt, so it suits short sessions where you try to last a little longer each time.
Tips for GIMMIKO CLASSIC
- Recall your dice often so they're ready for the next throw.
- Keep moving while you aim; standing still makes you an easy target.
- Stay near the shrine so you can catch yokai before they reach it.
- Use a mouse rather than a trackpad if you can, since aiming and right click get constant use.
- Play GIMMIKO CLASSIC free in short bursts; each run teaches you a little more about the waves.

FAQ
Is GIMMIKO CLASSIC free?
Yes. GIMMIKO CLASSIC is free to play here in your browser, with nothing to install. Click inside the game window to give it focus, then start a run. Runs are short, so you can jump straight back in after a wave gets the better of you and try a different approach.
How do you play GIMMIKO CLASSIC?
Move with WASD, aim with the mouse, throw a die with left click and pull your dice back with right click. Yokai come at your shrine in waves, and your job is to stop them with well-aimed throws while keeping your dice ready for the next one.
What is the goal in GIMMIKO CLASSIC?
Protect your shrine from waves of yokai for as long as you can. Your only tools are your magic dice, which you throw and then recall. It's a roguelike, so each run is a fresh attempt, and getting further comes down to aim, movement and timing your recalls.
Who made GIMMIKO CLASSIC?
GIMMIKO CLASSIC was made by Zizou and prutte for GMTK Game Jam 2022 and released on itch.io. Zizou handled art and code, prutte made the music and sound effects, and Ayekerik drew the thumbnail art. FunClicker did not make the game. We embed the creators' version and link to the original.
Can I play GIMMIKO CLASSIC on a Chromebook or phone?
Use a computer with a keyboard and mouse. The game needs WASD to move, the mouse to aim, and both mouse buttons for throwing and recalling dice, so a phone is a poor fit. A Chromebook works, ideally with a mouse plugged in rather than a trackpad.
Is GIMMIKO CLASSIC unblocked at school?
GIMMIKO CLASSIC needs only a browser tab, with nothing to download or install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If this page loads, click the game window to give it focus and start defending.
What are yokai in GIMMIKO CLASSIC?
Yokai are spirits and creatures from Japanese folklore, and here they're the enemies that come at your shrine in waves. You fight them off with magic dice instead of swords or spells, which gives the game its playful spin on the theme.
Is GIMMIKO CLASSIC finished?
It's a finished jam game. This CLASSIC build is the original version made for GMTK Game Jam 2022 and left unchanged, while the team works on a bigger version separately. You're playing the complete jam release, with a couple of bug fixes.
