With some trial and error, I was able to figure out some resistances of the enemies, but it would be cool if this were an additonal option which could also be chance-based on a stat or something :)\nAnyways, it was a great experience and I think it is my favourite game of the jam so far!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1004815,"author_name":"Matthieu Riboulot","author_uid":"matthieu-riboulot","epoch":1696421599,"text":"@philocode The mimic have a bugged name yes, there is few mistakes like that here and here.
