I believe this is new to this build. In a room with mimics, after you solve the room and Beethro laughs to indicate the room is clear, if any of the mimics die in a later move Beethro laughs again. Since mimics don't affect room completion, this seems a bit unintuitive.

My guess is this has something to do with the fix that stopped Beethro's extra laugh when roach eggs or tar babies were formed the next move in an otherwise cleared room.

Hmmm, I dunno. I think I'd sure get a hearty laugh out of killing exact copies of myself.

I agree with Clayton , but unfortunately we don't want new players to think that they have to kill mimics to beat rooms.

Game on,

So you'd also get a hearty laugh out of killing exact copies of Clayton?

Hah! Oops, yeah, that sounds bad, doesn't it? At least your post gave me a hearty laugh...
