Oh dear! A gang of travelers has discovered a supposed treasure trove. Just one issue - that's where you and your family of mimics live! Survive wave after wave of knights and wizards as you make your last stand against those pesky humans! 

As a mimic, you can become a stationary tower yourself and attack the enemies, or eventually, enlist the support of fellow mimics to help you.

Controls & How To Play

Use WASD or the arrow keys to move around in the setup phase. When you're ready, press Space or the Z key to lock your position. If you have helper mimics, you can place them in the setup phase by pressing E or X. You can give yourself an attack boost (speeding up your attack) by pressing the helper key while stationary.

Mimic Defense is a tower defense game, meaning that you'll have to defend against enemies coming from different routes. If the enemies make it to the end, they will start depleting your health. Once the health bar empties, it's game over!

Do not fret, however - you'll be able to act as the last stand. Simply lock yourself in place in the setup phase of a wave and let the enemies come to you! You'll attack automatically, but watch your attack bar - you'll need to recover after every attack. Defeating all travelers in a wave allows you to recover some health and gain a helper, which can be used as a helper mimic or as an attack boost for yourself. Decide for yourself and lead your way to victory!
