Do Gims Have Abilities?
By: Ibrahim Siddiqui
11/15/2024

Gimkit is known for having 2D game modes, where you are actually there in the game. To play, you need something called a gim. A default gim is just a normal color with eyes, but you can get different styles.

 

On Oct 21, 2024, a Gim Scholar said that he has a speed boost on his Gimbit in Don’t look down. Now, being professor Gimkit, I decided to put this to the test and try this. First, I set up a Don’t Look Down game mode for 10 minutes and ran every Gim I had in my locker. Then I played as normal, doing double jump clutches here and there and testing each jump height.

 

The results were shocking. Now, reader, you probably know that a player in a game has a hitbox for everything. This changes how close the player can get to things and how it fits through things in the game. I discovered that more detailed gims have a bigger hitbox than normal colored gims. They also use more energy for jumps in platformer mode, and they are easier to hit with a gadget in top-down game modes.

 

I tested this with a very hard set-up test. First, the gim has to be in platformer mode with low energy (ex: 50 energy). When I tried it , The colored gims traveled farther than detailed ones (like The Gimbit). This doesn’t support the idea that detailed gims travel farther, so I thought I missed something.

 

It turns out I did! The Gimbit actually has a smaller hit box than normal gims because of its geometrical size. This means that it uses less energy than normal colored gims, which use less energy than detailed gims.

The Dark Side of the Quantum Portal

Have you ever played Gimkit before? If so, you might have played a game involving a certain weapon. I always test weapons to see which ones are the best, and I stumbled on an amazing discovery. This amazing discovery is from the quantum portal, one of the strongest weapons in the game. You may know me before. I am Professor Gimnite, a scholar on the gimkit sweats team, so here is my research.

 

The quantum portal is a gadget released in 2023 for the game mode One Way Out. It involves a portal looking launcher that fires a slow projectile, dealing a base damage of 184 health. That’s almost a full health bar, shield, and all. But let me get to the important part.

 

When someone knocks someone out with a quantum portal, it says, “You blasted the person into another dimension. But what is this dimension? Researchers suggest it's in space due to the specks of color on the black rift. But this can’t be true, because in space you can survive up to 2 minutes, and you die almost instantly and respond.
