Pac-Mimic
Tasty adventurers have invaded your castle in search of treasure. As a humble Mimic, you will need to hide from these powerful main characters. But if you manage to catch a would-be looter unawares, lunch is served!
Controls:
arrow keys / WASD - move
X / E - hide (pretend to be a chest)
Z / SPACE- chomp
ESC - pause
How to Play:
- Hide from the Hero, who wander around looking for treasure and monsters to slay (that's you)
- Eat treasure (Z/SPACE), and hide (X/E) to attract a hero to you
- When the Hero kneels down to grab some treasure, eat them! (Z/SPACE)
- The Hero is only vulnerable while trying to pick up treasure
- Fill your hunger bar to advance to the next level

Jam Theme interpretation:
What if pacman was a stealth game?
And what if you, err, weren't pacman, but one of the ghosts, kinda?
Boom. PacMimic.
You're DEFINITELY not the main character in this one, the guys with the shiny armor are, obviously.

(Team size: 5)
Our team members found each other via the jam community forum and started ideating and experimenting. After a while we settled on the 'PacMimic' idea.
RustTea and Jerry facilitated a lot of the early ideation and brainstorming. The whole team contributed to the design and setting which helped inform puddinheadjohn and Lucifern's work on the art and music. I created a GDD to get us all on the same page with the design and scope of the game.
Jerry and I (Nuno) chatted frequently in Discord while starting to build the game early on. We used Trello to organize the programming tasks. puddinheadjohn created the initial tileset and character designs.
Toward the end, I completed the art and animations and worked with Lucifern to get the music and sound effects they created into the game.
We navigated challenges around time zones, conflicting schedules and illnesses etc. This was a great learning experience!

Cool game! I love the concept, I think it could use more polish regarding the gameplay. Art and audio are great.
I had trouble with controls and gameplay firs and was starting to get frustrated but once I saw you describe it as PacMan with stealth everything clicked. Its a fun game you made. Would love to play a more polished version of it.
I couldnt figure out what I was supposed to do but I like the sound effects and the menu music is medival peasant club vibes. I would cringe dance to it.
Originally wasnt going to leave a comment due to my lack of progress but really wanted to commplement the pixel art and tilesets and the sound design and music and so on. Good Job ^^
