Oh, why didn't I turn the volume down. Thanks for the heart attack.

For some reason I was expecting to hear gachimuchi.

Great job)

Really smooth game overall. The gameplay stands on its own and the vfx make your game shine.

Developer

Thanks!

Super fun! Cute art and story, and addicting gameplay. The human screams were very good to hear, too.

Great work!

Developer

Glad to see that everybody agree about the screams (one of the funniest things in the game for us too hahaha <3)!

Thanks for playing! <3

The screams of the humans were incredible.  I understood the intruction as "don't them create a house" but there are not any downsides for this, in fact, once the first house appears, the game won't ever end because of the infinite human supply of exponentially more houses. Super fun game!!

Developer

You know? You're right hahahah

We planned to use the archers and warriors to attack the mimic so the mimic has a motive to eat them when they are ramdomly created because of the houses, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut we ran out of time. We'll fix it when we update the game after the jam.

Thanks for playing! <3

The art style is lovely, the gameplay is interesting, and it would be even better if you could extend your survival time after consuming a certain number of people. Overall, it's great.

Developer

Thank you!

We used a lot of free assets (linked below the game, so all the love to their respective artists <3), but the few we did like the mimic, we had a lot of fun!!

As for the survival time, we want to make an update when the jam ends, so we'll consider it!

Thanks for playing <3

Cool idea, i think it will nice if you will add people that mimic can't eat because they will damage you. Also i realy like sound effects. 

Developer(+1)

Hii, thanks for playing!

We thought about it during the jam, but we didn't have enough time to implement it, so maybe when we do the update after the jam we'll consider it! <3

This game was pretty amusing. I felt the hunger bar sped up a bit to quickly though, since it felt significantly faster after just 15 people, though being able to replenish hearts might help too.

The sound effect that plays when dying was also too loud for me.

Developer

Thank you for trying it and for the feedback! We're considering a small 1.1 update with some QoL changes, so if you want we can contact you when it's up and you can go back to eating all the humans you want without your ears bleeding.

I suppose I might have to give the game another look when that happens.

This game made me laugh out loud. Loved the idea and the execution. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks a bunch! Lots of people are liking the insanity, and we could not be happier.

I had fun! There was a point where there were so many humans the game started lagging xD

Developer

Hello! Thanks for playing!

Yeeeaahhh... We saw that too hahaha <3

We want to make an update when the jam is over so the game doesn't explode xD 

We checked for a max of humans in the code but... We'll have to check it again, clearly haha

Submitted(+2)

I hear the screams, the people screaming, the sound of perish, THE FEAR...

But I need food, I must consume them!

Developer

CONSUME THEM!!!!!! 😈
(and thanks for playing!)

Fun concept, it's a bit sad that there is not more humans to eat (you just eat them one by one...) and also i think the hunger bar is going down wayyyy too fast. I find this amazing that humans can make families, but because of the hunger bar i cant let them reproduce and all

still a very fun game, love the screams and all it's very funny ! 

Great work, keep going ! 

Developer(+1)

Hii, thanks for playing! <3 

And you're right! 

We want to make an update when the jam is over to balance the game a little bit better ^^
