    It's not overly long and the price is right, so if you fancy something different and clever, with just enough characters to keep you going, Minit might well be the one for you. [June 2018, p.80]

    The running theme of simplicity means that not everyone will enjoy what Minit has to offer, but for less than a tenner, this stripped back adventure title is more interesting than some games ten times its size.

    Despite the monochrome palette and simple, wholesome story, Minit's world is stuffed with charm and character that belies its lo-fi presentation - and it's a lovely way to while away a few spare minutes of your own. [Recommended]

    It's adorable and has quite a clever conceit.

    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 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

    Just awesome :))

    Definitely a game for the niche. But if you think you could like this sort of thing judging by the trailers then it is a    Just awesome :))

    Definitely a game for the niche. But if you think you could like this sort of thing judging by the trailers then it is a very original, small, puzzle-like, all thought-trough production that is 100% a video game ( if you know what I mean:) Last production I played was Yonder:) But also many oh many big productions are investing less and less in gameplay and Idea and more and more in style/design of the graphics or being "movie-like":) because what matters is "how it looks on a trailer" and not "how it plays" I suppose. )    … Full Review »

    I don't think the game is a masterpiece, but I believe it achieves exactly what it tries to. The game is very short, and very interesting, youI don't think the game is a masterpiece, but I believe it achieves exactly what it tries to. The game is very short, and very interesting, you have one minute before you die from a curse from your sword.
    In this minute, you have to explore, talk with NPCs, find new items and figure out ways of achieving your goals.
    The game is very fun to explore and has some very nice minimalist design.
    The game's idea for me is to have this minimalist but intriguing journey, it leaves a lot for your imagination, which is a great experience to have sometimes.
    For me, one bit games and ASCII games (also some other designs) are made for you to use your imagination and picture its world for youself.
    Anyway, I would really recommend it for anyone that likes short and nice experiences.    … Full Review »
