Mimic Hunter is an innovative gameplay-wise 2.5D hardcore platform game that will take you on an epic adventure as the legendary master hunter Monsieur Ratimousse embarks on a journey to find his old mentor Barnabas and stop an ancient demonic force from devouring the mortal world. Unsheathe your sword and your platforming skills to climb forsaken towers fight nefarious Mimics solve unforgiving puzzles in an attempt to uncover the grim truth behind the nature of the Unbound. En garde!Mimic Hunter was initially created as an entry for GameJolts Adventure Jam 2017 #AdvJam2017 in no more than 2 weeks by Aliza Wenders and Derwen Llewelyn from Angry Cat Studios. But the journey doesnt end there! In those two weeks we grew to love this game even more than wed have anticipated and we decided to tell this uncommon story in its full length with all the gore and glory! During the early development we succeeded in creating a very unique stable and innovative platforming experience but we had to cut a megaton of features and ideas (and most of the story content) due to the lack of time. And that simply couldnt stand! Now the whole story is ready and its awaiting a hero: You! ;-)A free demo of the original #AdvJam2017 version is available on GameJolt check it out! Just dont forget: its only a fragment of whats to come!Unique cylindrical mind-bending environmentHand-drawn macabre-esque art style and animationsLore-rich story with many surprises twists and mysteries across 7 unique levels (at least 5 hours of playtime even for pro Mimic Hunters!)Hardcore platforming gameplay with traps timed puzzles and more!Fencing! En garde!Dangerous and mischievous various enemy types each with its unique behaviorA fully-fledged Tower Builder with which you can create and share your own adventure!Special game modes: Time Attack and SurvivalFully remappable control scheme (with partial controller support)Steam achievementsWhat is the goal of the game?The story mode takes you on an adventure to defeat a mysterious ancient force that threatens the mortal world. During your journey you will encounter nefarious enemies unravel the secrets of the Hunters Guilds past and solve demonic riddles and puzzles.How long the main story is?As Mimic Hunter is designed to be quite a hard game with scenarios that take multiple attempts to figure out and solve we can only estimate the actual game time youll need to complete the story featuring seven unique towers. On average it takes a player about 5-10 hours to finish the main story depending on player skill and chosen difficulty level.What are the key gameplay elements?Mimic Hunter is primarily a platformer thus jumping climbing and fighting are very important to master. Additionally there are riddles and puzzles you cant solve by platforming only: youll need to collect lore and figure out the secrets. Fencing is also very important to overcome your foes and you must learn how to do it properly. Youll be also able to handle a lot of situations by avoiding combat or defeating your enemies via the environment if youre cunning enough.How in-depth the Tower Builder is?The Tower Builder (a.k.a. level editor) you get is identical to the one we used to create the majority of the content. You can create any kind of tower with dialogues scripted puzzles traps events and share it with other people! Basic editing is quite intuitive but a full documentation/manual is also available.
