Game Description
Kill all the enemies! Charge the portal! Bring the Mimic back home!

How does your game tie into the theme?
A chest-shaped mimic can absorb enemies to regrow lost body parts. Tentacles, eyes (arms and a powerful jaw were also planned). In this way, the Mimic is "assembled".

Definitely one of the better looking games i've seen so far - I get the kind of gameplay you were going for but I feel what this is lacking is player feedback. Enemies are also generally really unforgiving; wording is a bit unclear in how the mechanics are supposed to work. Hitboxes are also pretty unclear.

I needed a tutorial. I thought my left-click button wasn't working. Hard to tell if my tongue was attacking. I am Deaf, so not sure if there was sound informing people that left-click is indeed working. The enemies run so fast that I am not sure how to get better.

I love challenge, but I seems not ready for that big one :)

Love the are and presentation.

Interesting concept.

Well done!

It's just that I can only pick up two of the weapons dropped and the rest glitch out :( fun otherwise

I really like the art, and the concept is pretty cool, but man is this game hard lol. I think just slowing down the enemies by a lot would really help, there doesn't really seem to be a way to not take damage once an enemy sees you. 

Overall, it's a cool game though! I just wish I could play more of it lol.

Thank You! Remember the location of enemies and throw weapons at them! :)

Brilliant art but way too hard. At least for players like me - can't even overcome the 1st enemy, which feels unrewarding.

Developer

Thank You! Attacking from the back and throwing weapons (RMB), as well as devouring enemies can help :)

A very hard game but fun. I can hopefully be skilled enough to complete it!

Thank you!)

Ohhh this game... 0.0
So fun! The Hotline Miami take is pretty well-handled in such a setting! Playing as a mimic is stupidly smart and the art is GREAT! But the dnb soundtrack though... FIRE.

Thank you for your work!

The game looks great, the graphics are top notch. As for the game, enemies notice you wayyy too early and are unforgivingly quick! I found myself clicking as fast as possible to try and not to die to an enemy shooting from off screen. I think it would have been cool if you could have taken the form of a chest to avoid enemy detection.
Good entry!

Attacking from the back and throwing weapons (RMB), as well as devouring enemies can help. Disguise Mimic was among the ideas)

Very much enjoyed the art.

I really like the idea of playing a mimic, I think the theme could have been leaned into a lot more. The enemy detection radius is enormous and I would often get killed with out even seeing where the enemy came from because they move so fast. I did find that if you just spam click to can chomp through everything. Presentation is great. Well done on getting it done.

Developer

Thank You!

Game wrecked me. Has that hotline miami level of ai twitchy-fast brutality going on.

Developer

The Hotline was an inspiration)

The enemies hitbox is completely massive, really fun to play though. And the music is just great!

Developer

Thank You!

I'm not sure that it's working with a trackpad, though looking at the video and from everything I saw it looks really awesome. The art is super nice!

Developer

Love the concept here :) the hitbox of the enemies seems pretty big which makes it harder though!

Developer

Thank You!
