Description: Test your skills high in the sky with Mimic. This VR experience and puzzle memorization game is the first release from Scribe. Mimic will test your memory, precision, timing, and possibly fear of heights as you run, glide, teleport and unlock your way through 100 unique levels in 10 different environments. Memorize the path as quickly as you can to reach the finish block as you compete against yourself and with other players on online leader boards. Collect stars to unlock levels and environments with increasing difficulty and added obstacles.
Review: While it looks like crap, feels incredibly nauseating to play and doesn’t have a lot of content I have to say MIMIC is way more fun than I thought it was going to be. This is a game of memory in which you are shown the route to the finish block on a map, then you need to remember the whole way before it vanishes. The idea is simple the graphics are REALLY simple, but it just works! I also liked some of the 360 photo backgrounds, but they are neither here nor there. Even with 100+ levels I still feel £7.19 is asking too much, but do consider grabbing it in a sale. Yes, it doesn’t look all that good, but gameplay is king here and I promise it really is more fun than you think it would be.
