unlabelledView post →wildly excited for the AGDQ 110% run of Minit later this week with @jwaaaap.com on the couch. Minit's so good dude. Such a tight game.
unlabelledView post →Minit is as close to perfect as a game gets, and $2.49 is a perfect entry point.
unlabelledView post →Today's indie game is Minit! This is a top down adventure game played 60 seconds at a time! You are cursed to die every minute and must make it as far as you can, learning and changing the world each life! Devs listed below! Link below!
unlabelledView post →This one was designed to be a Digimon VPet but it also works as a Tamagachi. I had not heard about Minit before and I will check it out, and possibly do a Bowser for that game in the future.
unlabelledView post →What the fuck. There's a second Minit game? And I never knew about it until now??????
unlabelledView post →while i was walking home today, i noticed something in a dumpster behind a gas station next to the ancient burial grounds. it was a flash drive with "666" written in blood over it. it has a weird game on it that i've never seen before, so i'm gonna stream that tonight. also Minit, time permitting
unlabelledView post →Some engines are very much set up for Bigger Badder Specs™ as a default and takes a lot of hoops for it to be even remotely optmized even if you have graphics like Downwell or Minit. There's a lot of default bloat in some of the popular indie game engines is what I'm saying.
unlabelledView post →Minit is an adventure game where you play a Tamagotchi-looking character with Tamagotchi-looking NPCs, explore the world and get as much as you can done before the 60-timer ends. It starts once you pick up the first item, the sword. The rest of the gameplay is similar to that of the original Legend of Zelda game, as a top-down scroller with an extreme version of the Majora's Mask timer set-in. Despite the constant restart after the timer ends, the NPCS will remember you and your progress from…

unlabelledView post →#justbeatit Steps A small PICO-8 games very inspired by Minit where every step counts. Puzzle your way through this tiny monochrome world. Find items, die and progress. Good little game (but very short)! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Y’all liked Minit? This game was rad.
unlabelledView post →Agreed. Firewatch is a perfect example of a game that changes people's whole worldview that will never satisfy some dollars:hours exchange rate. Minit was amazing but theoretically could be beaten in 1 minute. Baba Is You is basically impossible to predict playtimes. So many great counterexamples
unlabelledView post →Watching the Minit speedrun and gosh, I remember getting it on Day 1 and just losing a few hours of the day to getting everything in the game

unlabelledView post →I think Chronoquartz deserves a lot more attention! Graphics-wise it seems to be mostly stuff from asset stores, but the puzzle design is really great. It’s a loop game but instead of time it’s based on screens traversed. Think of it as a 2D Outer Wilds meets Minit.
unlabelledView post →Appleseed's Indie Game Of The Day! Day 16) MINIT by Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Jukio, Dom You play the RPG one minute at a time, dying every minute and being reset to your last save point. It's a fun little challenge to see how much you can get done in one minute.
unlabelledView post →I found this game while randomly scrolling through the store one day, and I couldn't have been more impressed with it. The concept is so simple - you have 60 seconds every day to get things done - but the amount of unique ways they're able to utilise that mechanic made it one of my favourite indie games of all time. At first 60 seconds will seem insane. How much can you get done in that time? But the game's progression is twofold: You'll naturally learn quicker routes through the world to get…

unlabelledView post →The time loop factor makes it an exceptional game. 1 minute to explore and progress. Fail and start over. Just perfect.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fourteenth game completed in 2026! Why is it called Minit if it took me almost 4 hours to 100%? I have no idea why i was suddenly compelled to play this game, but it scratched some kind of puzzle/Zelda itch. Very simple concept, but executed masterfully. Even the "harder" challenges were fun.
unlabelledView post →I'll always recommend HUNTDOWN first, although it's going to take closer to 6 hours, and if you're like me you'll want to play it again. Minit is great, ~2 hours. I'm about to play Fishing Vacation for a game club (only ~1 hour) and plan to finally play GRIS this month (3-4 hours).
unlabelledView post →Minit is a classic Zelda inspired puzzle game that dares to ask the question, "What if you died every minute?". The answer is it would be annoying. Playing Minit is quite simply, tedious. Minit will have you attempt to explore an empty colorless field for even a single thread of information regarding what you should even be TRYING to do, just to forcibly respawn your character and make you spend 20 of your 60 seconds left living, walking back to your desired portion of the map and continuing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried playing Minit Fun Racer myself. I thought I had beaten this game, but my memories of the ending were from a speedrun. It turns out my poor vision blurs all the vehicles even though they are technically all parked, so I can't tell what pixels are actually hitboxes or not.
unlabelledView post →Random thought of the day: Minit is a great game to prepare prospective souls and/or rogue players. The inevitability of death every 60 seconds forcing you to make the most out of each minute. Progress is made incrementally as you learn what the game wants you to do to finally win. #gaming #souls
unlabelledView post →Minit is such a charming little game Zelda type game where you're a little guy with a cursed sword that kills you every 60 seconds. It's really fun and the time limit forces you to really learn that world so you can navigate quickly.
unlabelledView post →Whenever I have to recommend a game, its this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#justbeatit Steps. Per @wiedo.nl it’s like Minit except instead of dying and after one minute of game play you die every ten steps. You need to unlock paths and find items so you can get farther in later lives, but unlike Minit there are checkpoints and step refreshes. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Minit - doesn't use its gimmick. it literally does not use its gimmick. what the ♥♥♥♥. (spoilers for the **TWO** exceptions removed.) the rest of the game is just any other game partitioned into 60 second bits. people didn't notice this????? (from my journal in december 2020)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is creative and has an innovative premise: you always die after 60 seconds. In the beginning, it flows really well, since you have few choices and almost all are blocked, so, you get an item/ability and open a new path, a shortcut, new possibilities, feels nice. However, at the middle of the game I felt a little bit tired. There are a lot of possible paths, and you start to waste a lot of time exploring with poor rewards. I wish that the game reward the player with more speed quality…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a great game I wanted to go back to, but it is broken. Don't buy it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to go back and beat this game, but it crashes on startup. Community fixes don't seem to work anymore, i tried all of them. Should be an easy fix for the dev to just put a fresh save file into the files under a different name as an update, and then on startup check if the actual save file exists, if not, load the fail-safe, and then save the file as the proper name, just need to edit the load scripts in the error. ...Or just check if it exists and then if not populate one. It seems like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today's indie game: Time Flies (timeflies.buzz). Such a quirky little game, and short, like "plays to completion in under an hour" short. I'd describe it as Minit meets Untitled Goose Game with 250% extra memento mori. Bonus points for using actual lifespan data by country sourced from WHO.
unlabelledView post →As a huge fan of zelda and outer wilds this game felt like exactly my kinda puzzle. You run around dying every minute because of a cursed sword gathering knowledge and items to keep solving puzzles, opening shortcuts, and gathering items. A beautiful condensation of exactly these kind of adventure games that really gets you brain going.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a pretty fun and novel idea for a game I hadn't encountered before. The 60/50 second life span kept it interesting and made you really think about what you were doing/going to do each life before you had to respawn. Frustrating at first as I had no real idea of what to do or what I was doing/ how any of it worked, but once you die a few times and get the hang of it you start to play more strategically. Nice option of a second 'harder' run once completing the game for the first time…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Minit is a perfect little game and I've spent a hot minute trying to think of ways to rip it off.
unlabelledView post →A really fun, novel idea executed superbly. The 60 second life span keeps things moving at a frantic pace and it created a nice balance of sometimes figuring out puzzles on the fly with one second to spare, while other times doing multiple runs, piecing the solution together bit by bit to fit the bigger picture. The art style and quirky characters are a vibe that suits the game perfectly and when you put all this together, you have a fantastic little indie experience that's definitely worth…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe I haven't played Minit before 🫠 I can't put this game downnnnnn
unlabelledView post →Game crashes on startup. Linux compatibility tag should be removed. it's not only on my machine, you can check protondb to see that the game is not working on linux at all,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MINIT (2018, PS5, #game) A completely delightful miniature adventure game with a 1-bit art style. Your little duck thing person whatever has one minute to live and try to untangle a nonsensical world made of pure video game. $3 on Sony which is the correct price.

unlabelledView post →This game rules Although the site has gone down, I wrote a review for Nintendeal that was meant to be read in 60 seconds Minit will always have a special little place in my heart 💟
unlabelledView post →Got Minit since it was an inspo for Master Key. 100%'d in a few hours. Figuring out the 2nd run was a lot of fun! For the game overall, I thought it was all right. Works better as a thought experiment for how much you can get done in 60 sec since the gimmick felt underutilized in game. 🎮
unlabelledView post →Got a minute? Well, that's all the time that runner @brianrenadette.bsky.social needs to tell you about his speedrun of the adventure game Minit, which you can see live during Fall Fest on Sun. Nov. 12th! Watch: youtu.be/VaM1HIMlShY
unlabelledView post →I can't say anything that other reviews haven't already said, so i'll just say, i really enjoyed my 1.5 hours spent with Minit. Highly recommend it, especially at that price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4) Minit Fun Racer A roguelike, racing game? With a hard time limit? It’s a weird concept, but if you’ve played Minit - a Zelda roguelike with a hard time limit - you can get how this one would work. It’s a nice little game that doesn’t demand a ton from the player other than light perseverance.
unlabelledView post →I bought this game 5 years ago, played 15 mins, and dropped/forgot about it (probably was playing some other games during that time and told myself I'd come back to it later). That was a silly mistake. Practically EVERY game published by Devolver Digital is a banger and this game is another example of not only showing that to be true, but also being a sad reminder for me of how many hidden gems are in my backlog that I need to get around to playing... Anyway if you agree that Devolver…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesnt use its idea to even nearly its full potential
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →brilliant gameplay! you die every 60 seconds but can get permanent item during each run that will help unlock new areas, and ultimately break timeloop
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lovely old school zelda-style adventure, with a neat twist on gameplay. While you can get through the main quest pretty quickly, there's also a good amount of secrets/collectables, and a "second run" (aka hard mode) for replayability. A great game for Steam Deck as well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is communist propaganda and no I will not elaborate further
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved everything of this game. Really original idea the feature of dying every 60 seconds, it really gives you a challenge. You'll probably be confused during the first few lives of your first gameplay because you don't know where to go or what to do but when yoh get the hang of it, it becomes a really interesting and strategic game because you have to plan what to do in that little space of time. The story behind the game is pretty simple but I love the characters and the music is peak.
