Gimkit awards 2025- Categories, Categories, Categories

Hello, hello, hello ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls, neithers, boths, in-betweens, and all else in which is here with you today, and now, I need to hear from all of you. Yes, YOU! Yeah, I mean you right there in the audience. Yeah, I know you’re looking around, wondering if I’m talking about you, Rick. I mean you, buddy. Oh, and the rest of the forums, I guess.

We need your very best ideas for the gimkit awards categories. What kind of ideas, in what relation to the awards? Well, I’m glad you didn’t ask that, but wanted to!
So, last year, we had the following categories:

  • Most Unique Battle Royale
  • Best Creative Game
  • Best Adventure Game
  • Best GKC Minigame
  • Best Classroom Game
  • Best Game Remake in Gimkit
  • Best Gimkit Youtuber
  • Best GKC Artist (for those who made things inside of gimkit)
  • Best GKC Gamemaker
  • Best Gimkit Fanartist (for those who made things relating to gimkit, outside of gimkit)

And we need your ideas on what you want to change, add, or remove out of this list! If we think that a change you come up with is necessary, if an idea is good, if a removal would be wise, whatever else, then we’ll do it. Of course, the final list for categories will be thrown out in February, and in the mean time, our team will be working on figuring out exactly which ideas to use, which to not, whatnot.

Oh, and again, feel free to ask any questions you may have!
That I’m not able to answer for a while but uhhhh go for it

Is this a definitive list of categories?

Best quality (I believe). Most subscribers, views, and likes didn’t (or I think shouldn’t) matter as much, but probably influenced the voting.

Maybe, best game visuals could be a category, or something along that line, because most of them are either just art, or the game itself, not the game design of the visuals (layering terrain, appealing colors, etc.).

This was last year’s. It could change for this year.

There’s always a chance if people like your content/if you get nominated.

how about a category “Best Horror”? since this is a very common game that is created on Gimkit creative

For the Gimkitters options, I currently have:

  • Best Coder/Technician/Mechanical Expert[1]

For the Best Maps ideas, I have:

  • Best Creative Game (Top Down)
  • Best Creative Game (Platformer)
  • Best Community Picks Map

The “Best Creative Games” category could be split into to categories with Top Down and Platformer.


Just some suggestions.

how can one understand “the best coder”? as far as I understand you are talking about blocks, but how should one define the best coder?

Maybe something like Best Mechanic? For some interesting and unique mechanism in a game?

How come there’s a Best Fanartist category, but not a category for just a single piece of artwork? I feel like it’d make more sense to at least also have a Best Fanart category.

Also, continuing the discussion from the other announcement, I think it actually is a good idea to have a Best Platformer category, or really just to divide all the map categories between platformer and top-down. This actually levels the playing field- think about it: platformers are typically more popular then top–down maps, so they already have an advantage. By isolating them from top-down maps, it gives those without the Season Ticket a better chance because they aren’t going up against paid features, and for those who are making platformers, they will have a smaller playing field and therefore a slight advantage. At least think about it.
