This was awesome! Nice graphics, tight controls, juicy UI, good music. Overall, very well made :)

Fun little romp. Although I found a few times they'd horde together and I'd gobble them all up in one swoop. Good job though!

valid4life 2015-08-25 04:19

Nice game!
I enjoyed the nice graphics and the nice music!
Great job

shugor 2015-08-25 04:20

Lots of fun! Using a recognizable monster design to form the gameplay around was a cool idea, and the mimic works especially well. Cool entry.

landosystems 2015-08-25 04:22

That's a really fun game, interesting gameplay, good art style, and good controls. Great work!

lancemaker 2015-08-25 04:22

nicelly done.

loutrattitude 2015-08-25 04:23

Really cool ! Controls are really smooth, nice job.

keon 2015-08-25 04:27

Nice game! The art is great, and the tutorials are smoothly integrated in the game. The names are a nice touch. I don't know if I played it to completion - I reached a level with a ghost and then it goes to the end screen. Not sure what that's about, is that the end?

Other than that, I found a tiny bug - if you die and restart many times, you can get to negative lives.

Awesome idea. Great use of the theme.

a_k_ 2015-08-25 04:45

I like how it goes really "smooth". GJ

downtown 2015-08-25 04:46

Felt really good to play, well put together.

minibobbo 2015-08-25 04:47

Nicely done! It plays really smooth and the music is great. I liked opening up and summoning all the guys to one spot and then destroying them all.

Also, the individual randomly generated names was a nice touch. It added a bit of humor that I enjoyed.

vycerys 2015-08-25 04:47

Great job! Was a fun little blast!

ekajjake 2015-08-25 04:48

Awesome concept! Wonderful music.

nichii 2015-08-25 04:59

This was an awesome game, i loved the concept, the gameplay, and everything. I noticed a but where the lives and gold dont reset when i lose. Still it was really fun :D

nichii 2015-08-25 05:00

noticed a bug*

khaotom 2015-08-25 05:00

Yes. Now I am the mimic. Fun!

alpenter 2015-08-25 05:06

Fixed the lives and gold not resetting bug.
And also the negative lives bug.
Will update all 3 links tomorrow morning!

ryusui 2015-08-25 05:57

Very professional-looking! Just a few gripes:

1. The spike placement on the second floor is BRUTAL. It's actually really hard to maneuver precisely around them!

2. Lives don't reset on game over. Whoops!

3. Plurals don't take an apostrophe. "Knights," not "Knight's."

Also, is there any way to defeat that ghost thing on the final(?) floor? I keep getting shoved into the walls and killed. ^_^;

alpenter 2015-08-25 06:00

Push the blue block into the ghost. He will dead...
Yes... he will DEAD.

druhinm 2015-08-25 06:00

Enjoyed

yamzho 2015-08-25 08:59

Cool game ! Really enjoyed it !

nikteddy92 2015-08-25 09:22

Hahaha This is funny!
I like mimics, and your gameplay idea of atracting enemies with gold is great!
I like it, well done!

acerio 2015-08-25 11:29

Great game. A little short, but it was fun :) Great graphics too.

karai17 2015-08-25 11:51

Funny concept, I liked the disguise mode. :)

micdoodle8 2015-08-25 22:05

Great entry :) Fun, good art and music.

corupta 2015-08-25 22:15

Very nice game and I love the mechanic of you being the golden treasure chest and eating everyone who tries to get you. :D Well done!

jannesn 2015-08-26 00:59

Another Mimic game!

Great work really nice game!
Took me a while to figure out how the boss works though...

superpatch 2015-08-26 01:28

Simple and fun! Cool graphic and nice sound. Great entry, good job!

kaype 2015-08-26 02:32

This is a pretty good entry for what it is. I actually had played this about an hour ago but forgot to rate/comment lol.

Nice work.

mikhail 2015-08-26 02:39

Good game overall! Great game man! Keep it up!

amortus 2015-08-26 03:45

This was very fun, and the idea was very original.

flygamer101 2015-08-26 13:04

Really nice graphics :D

cgmorton 2015-08-26 15:32

Haha excellent game!

Good thing you're in the Jam, otherwise we'd be competing for best mimic-based game. This way it should be a clean sweep :P

bocodillo 2015-08-26 18:20

I had a great time playing this. Fun idea linked well with the mechanics. Good music & graphics too.

jharler 2015-08-26 18:35

This is a fun game. Took me a few tries to figure out what was coming after me and how to prevent it, but it made sense afterwards. Very nice game. Good job!

dreyan 2015-08-27 08:10

Quite cathartic for anyone who's been munched by mimics countless times before. Fun, fluid and sounds great. Nice job!

bigbuggames 2015-08-27 09:03

Good idea! Smooth controls, nice music!

guoboism 2015-08-27 10:24

Interesting game! The power of mimic is to lure the enemy!

Another game on mimic

digiman572 2015-08-27 13:16

Excellent game! I loved the twist with the mimic, and made one of my most hated enemies a beloved protagonist. The graphics were cool, the mechanics were flat out awesome, and this just an over all fun game to play. 10/10

boardtobits 2015-08-28 05:20

Solid game with a cool mechanic to attract your victims, er, enemies. Well done!

alpenter 2015-08-28 07:10

Yeah I thought it would be fun to devour your prey, er, yah enemies. Sure.

nowandstudios 2015-08-28 08:39

I enjoyed this game so much! Love the concept and the differente types of knight. Congrats

peterthehe 2015-08-28 10:01

Nice work! Smooth controls, good graphics.

darkboulevard 2015-08-28 16:12

Such a great entry! Loved it! I really can't say anything bad about it, I loved the idea, and the execution of it! Amazing!

crucknuk 2015-08-28 21:00

I liked the mechanics, graphics and music are also great, this is a good little game nice job!

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-29 13:27

Nice gameplay!

mantis 2015-08-31 16:41

Really cool game! Wish there was more levels :)

bombjack 2015-09-08 18:46

original idea.

superfreak 2015-09-14 09:56

Really intersting gameplay (I especially liked the control system and UI) over a cohesive artstyle which creates a great mood!
