    Minit
    Good for all of them
    Minit is an adventure game where you play as a little white blog looking thing as you attempt to end a curse that ends each day after one minute. You have 60 seconds to do as much in this game as you possibly can... completing tasks for new items... setting up a domino effect to then be able to complete other tasks... and progress through the different    Minit

    Minit is an adventure game where you play as a little white blog looking thing as you attempt to end a curse that ends each day after one minute.
    You have 60 seconds to do as much in this game as you possibly can...
    completing tasks for new items...
    setting up a domino effect to then be able to complete other tasks... and progress through the different points on the map...
    however the world doesn’t reset itself, every time you die the progress you’ve made is saved, so this game isn’t asking you to beat it in 60 seconds.. It actually took me around 1 and a half hours... but I set out to uncover as many of this games secrets as I could find and its full of them.. there are optional areas, items, and mysteries to discover…
    as you crawl through the map you’ll unlock new respawn areas, and if you find a certain secret in the game you’ll be able to later fast travel through each..
    It’s a really hard game to try and describe...
    it’s hard to go into detail without spoiling the mystery of the world...
    you simply find a sword on the beach and this sends you off on an adventure to life the 60 second curse...
    There are the occasional enemies, secret hearts to give you more health
    it’s fun and challenging remembering where you need to go with your newly acquired item, and realizing you can now take this shortcut with your new ability, the game is hard to pick down...
    it never came close to feeling like it overstayed its welcome, it left me wanting more..
    I do feel there was a lack of buildup to this games ending... it felt a bit abrupt but I enjoyed my time with minit...
    This is one of those games that I feel anyone can pick up and enjoy..
    I give minit

    Fun and interesting concept; Could have been implemented with a bit more time per "loop" but still a great game. Fun puzzles and a cool boss to end. At the end I noticed I apparently had only found a small portion of all secrets, so it is possible to miss ALOT.

    Good game
    It's really simple, but I think it's an original idea, so I recommend it to everyone

    Great game!
    Overall a breath of fresh air. Feels like a Zelda game. Great music, adds a bit of flavor to the adventure. I don't really know if it's worth the 10 euros, because it's about 2 hours long. But it's hella fun. Defenitly buy it if it's discounted. Forgot to mention that I love the exploration, but you can sometimes need to search things up because 1 you're    2.2 hrs on record

    Haiku Review: The concept is great / It will not cost you much money / You should play this game
    Favorite Thing: There's not much you can do in 60 seconds. It makes for an interesting challenge.
    Least Favorite Thing: The time limit can get pretty frustrating when you're stuck.

    Enjoyment: 8/10

    Smart little game, would prefer some more juicy graphics tho, it can get hard on your eyes pretty quickly.

    A charming indie game that has funny dialog and difficult enough puzzles. Combat is not my favorite but reminds me alot of the old Legend of Zelda combat so its still a plus. Nothing in the game feels out of place and always finds a way to fit in the games weird but enjoyable story.

    The 60s timer brings the players unique fast pace gameplay. It combines the item collection system and the home unlocking system to provide a well-balanced reward loop. Mint makes its players feel proud of themselves when they figure out a puzzle even after many times of death and expect the next exploration.

    To die every 60 seconds could quickly get old, but Minit is smart enough to avoid any kind of frustration during the adventure. Purposely minimalistic, the pixelated art direction shines with personality.

    A simple idea that wastes no time. Clever, imaginative and full of personality. A mini-masterpiece. [June 2018, p.76]

    A game of canny, and often quite annoying, design. [June 2018, p.120]
