CRITICS OPINIONS:

"...it looks like a fairly deep, personality-rich god game revival. Given that good god games are in woefully short supply these days, we should probably count our blessings here."

"The Mims: Beginning has become the latest indie hopeful to head down the crowd-funding route, popping up on Indiegogo. And it’s a bit of a looker, putting many so-called “AAA” games to shame with a visual style which brings to mind titles as diverse as Spore and Black & White."

"Everything in a game has been crafted in a gorgeous way. From creature to building, you will find the Mims to be one of the best indie games of the year 2014. "

It's a very well made game with a unique style that works on 64Bit MacOS, and it's FREE? This is a must play game, the only downside is the lack of saving mid-level.

Poor control over the Mims, lack of information in the UI (what's draining all my power?) and some seemingly luck-based objectives ruin the fun.
