Trickcal Marks First Anniversary With Spiki Still Everywhere And A New Character
Trickcal survived service termination in Korea before its Japan release, and a mascot that the Japanese launch barely used has become the game's most visible asset, so the anniversary campaign leans on both that grip and a character whose personality can be changed.

Trickcal: Mochi Mochi Hoppe Daisakusen reaches its 1st anniversary, and the creature Spiki still carries much of the promotion. Spiki took the app icon spot, appears as merch, drew crowds at pop-up stores, stood in a mascot suit at Comic Market 108, and turned up at Bilibili World in China. The major update on September 24 adds the character Joan, whose personality can be changed, and the campaign offers up to 365 consecutive pulls and two Eldain characters.
The Japanese version of Trickcal launched on October 9, 2025, with promotion centered on Commy, a beastfolk who carries a pillow and sleeps at any opportunity. bilibili said Commy's visuals and character would be easy to accept, so she was pushed first.
Spiki was almost unknown at that point. A year on, the creature has the app icon, merch, pop-up store lines, an appearance in a mascot suit at Comic Market 108, a panel at Bilibili World in China, and a part in the official 1st-anniversary video.
