About The Mimic
Mankind has colonized Proxima Centauri b, a tiny desolate world around a dim star, just 4 light years away. The Mimic is a predator native to this world. It's a perfect hunter and it has escaped containment. You're all that's left from a crew of 10.
In this unique platform puzzle solver, you take control of the Engineer whose every move is shadowed by the Mimic. As you move, so does the Mimic. There is a connection between the two of you, if you get your Mimic killed, you die. If you get too close, you die.
You don't just have the Mimic to fear, there's also the deadly environment you have to watch out for too. Malfunctioning defence systems, security grids and dead ends where you can trap yourself in with your Mimic, could all easily lead to your death.
Includes a level editor with steam workshop integration, allowing you to create and upload your own puzzles(beta).

interesting take on a puzzle game not that i have played many like this. PROs - simple levels to start, leading to harder and harder levels - good storyline - nice spacey/creepy music - large enviroments and scenery with attention to detail CONs - some levels are 'to the wire' and very early on - others can be too simple or needless (short level to teach you about the next level) - movement feels floaty and tempermental Overall 8.5/105 found this helpful

I revcieved this game from a friend that knows the guys resposible for making the game and having played it for a while i think it's an awsome indie title well done lads keep it up.1 found this helpful
The physics are a little janky, which occasionally made some of the platforming annoying to do. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult. It also had a habit of crashing near the end of chapters or if I alt tabbed, which, if you don't load into a new area, you end up having to repeat the level to progress. Overall, just kind of annoying and boring. As for the co-op, it appears to be local only and you can do it solo if you really wanted
"full controller support" means you should be able to exit the game from the menu without having to get off the couch and confirm you want to exit by moving the mouse. This game should be "partial controller support" until they fix the menu. I'm going to put a recommend just because I don't want to be the guy who writes a bad review based off 1 thing. Although at this point I'm not sure I can recommend, I haven't played enough.
Excellent Puzzle solver with a unique twist in a relatively saturated market. Art, music and level design are great - allowing players to be immersed. The game does a good job of "spoon feeding" you new concepts without taking away from the challange of the problem. Good Price at £7
