Dungeon of the Mimic by Alpenter

made by Alpenter for LD33 (JAM)

You are a mimic. Adventurers are just coming in YOUR dungeon and taking YOUR treasure. Jerks. Anyway, stop them from doing that. Trick them into thinking you are a treasure-filled chest of loot and then DEVOUR THEIR ENTRAILS... ok maybe not that gruesome.

Programming, Art, Design: Alpenter (@theAlpenter)
Art, Design: Father Ferguson (From the Youtubes)
Music: Eric Skiff (http://ericskiff.com/music/)

FINAL UPDATE:
-Fixed typos. (I was tired ok?)
-Fixed the "stats not resetting" bug.
-Fixed Game Over Screen.
-Made Smitty appear faster so that he's actually a threat.
-Better floor 2 layout.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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. ^_^;

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

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

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!

Nice work.

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

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

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!

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

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

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