The chest monster is so devious! What a wonderful play experience! Couldn't get enough... who knew I had such an appetite for heros hahaha
Thanks for the nice compliment! Happy to hear you enjoyed playing :)
I like the little character sprites!
ooo cool take on the theme, great job!
Loved it very much. Only two issues- 1) there was a point on the first level with the rouge where he couldn't climb the ladder and was soft locked out of the game (until I figured out that R=restart) and 2) I really really wanted to play more of it XD

Sorry about that bug! Glad you were able to figure out the level restart feature. Thanks for playing :)
Great twist on the stealth genre! Really good job with the level design, it does a really good job of teaching mechanics through gameplay! It would be nice if you could eat heroes when their backs are turned though :)
A great fun game with interesting puzzles. Some of the levels that explained mechanics (the ones that don't require any movement) do a good job of explaining the game concepts, but they are a bit slow and boring. I'd recommend either making them shorter or trying to explain the mechanics in a more engaging way. But still a very solid game :)
Solid game - the mechanics were all intuitively explained. You brilliantly broadcasted how the different heroes would interact with different things without a single word of explanation! I immediately felt confident I knew how they would react and could focus on solving the problems, which is the fun part of puzzle games for me. Great job!
Thanks very much!
Cool idea and interesting mechanics. Kinda funny how they run. But talking about running, why are they immune every frame of running? In lvl 2 i jumped on the guy to eat him, but he got away. :(
A lof of the levels involve waiting, that's kinda meh. But overall cool stuff.
Yeah agreed, it would definitely feel a bit more fair if you had a small window to catch them before they dashed away. Good feedback about the waiting scenes too - thanks!
Nice idea! I'm glad to see an actual stealth game here (especially with how tricky those can be to design in 2d). Overally, this definitely has potential to be developed into a full game
Thanks for the kind words!
Concept is really nice! Some levels I didn't even need to do anything which is a bit of a downside in my opinion, altho the AI in those levels are well made so kudos for that.
Great game! I love how each character behavior is presented through the automatic scenes. The puzzle weren't easy but also didn't stump, just the right amount of difficulty.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great fun! I love the puzzly nature to it, and the mechanics are simple but create interesting dynamics. With slightly better tutorialisation this game would be perfect! I would love to see this expanded to a full release.
I had a lot of fun with this! There was a good progression though the levels, and they really fit the theme. As some other people have mentioned, sometime the mechanics can be a little rough. But overall it was fun!
Absolutely fantastic, 5/5/5. Came for the mimic, stayed for the assassin gameplay.
Thank you kindly!
I think you guys played around with the idea quite well. My only critic is that its kinda punishing. As soon as the enemy sees you, you’re gone.
I felt like if it had a little buffer like in most games with stealth mechanics like Hitman, Mark of the Ninja, Skyrim and others, it would feel sooo much better.
Still, once I got the hang of it, its all good. Its a fun game, I stayed to play a bunch of the levels.
Great feedback here! I fully agree about providing the player with more buffer to make some mistakes and not instantly fail. Thank you for trying it out!
I really like the concept! As others have said the waiting is a little bit annoying but the mechanical complexity is nice. It would have been nice to have a cone of vision to see what the enemy can see to make the stealth a bit easier, but overall really nice.
Quel plaisir de faire partie de cette horrible imitation qui irritera jusqu'à l'âme les joueurs dévoués ! Cependant, une fois que j'ai ouvert la porte au niveau 4, Micmic ne mange pas la personne .
This game has fun idea, but you too often need to wait lol... In last level hero didn't move downstairs because (as i think) i was below him. I think he should escape, or just move down. But no, he walked into wall lol.
Thanks for playing, and great feedback! You're absolutely right about the waiting - I'd love to rework those levels after the jam and give the player more to do while they're watching the enemies move around.
Awesome concept, although some of the levels felt a bit more like a waiting simulator. The music fits the theme really well too !
Agreed! I realized too late that some of the levels are too heavy on the waiting. Good feedback, and thanks for playing!
