Minit Reviews
A smart, witty adventure that makes a virtue of its self-imposed constraints.
The death timer can feel like a gimmick sometimes, but it gives this fun, charming adventure a compelling edge.
A great high-concept adventure that borrows liberally from old school Zeldas but has plenty of unique ideas of its own.
Minit offers a compelling world, and its clever concept is tied to progression in satisfying ways
Minit might impose a daunting time limit on each of your lives, but its cleverly designed world and enriched puzzles make the cycle of exploration and death well worth investing into.
There's this weird and perfect harmony about knowing you're rushed and also not caring. It's liberating. I could keep gushing about Minit but, given the source material, this review is already too long.
Minit is an experimental game at heart, and in many ways it's a successful one.
Minit is a prototype rather than a videogame, since it shows how far the indie games can go. A title that uses time as a mechanic to deliver an amazing design lesson to the players.

Minit is a game you play in shorts games of a minute that you'd like to play for hours.

It's very charming, a lot of fun, and perhaps most importantly, executes its central conceit with deftness.
Minit is a tiny gem of an indie title, easy to overlook but not to be missed. It's overflowing with secrets to be found, mysteries to be solved, and adventures to be had 60 seconds at a time. The bite-sized nature only adds to the charms and addictive nature of this 1-bit action-adventure game. With the small price tag of $9.99, it's more than worth a minute of your time.
This is a refreshingly unique take on the old school swords and sorcery genre. The time trial aspect may turn some players off, but it's a challenge that is actually a joy to play.
I can't recommend Minit enough.
Minit's conceit is so simple and so straightforward, I thought I'd tire of it immediately. But I was dead wrong. What starts a little slow (and a bit frustrating) quickly turns into a fast-paced and rewarding experience that borrows as much from Super Meat Boy's unrelenting speed as it does from early 2D Zelda's gameplay.
Minit is fresh and unrelentingly charming little action RPG that does more with sixty seconds bursts of gameplay than bigger budget efforts manage to do with 60 hours. If you're after something truly unique, Minit should be your next stop.
Minit is a lighthearted and cleverly designed adventure that successfully builds a game around a peculiar premise. Playing in 60-second bursts can initially be frustrating, but once you wrap your head around the game's structure, it becomes an addictive and memorable little title that doesn't outstay its welcome. The abundance of secrets makes the game much deeper than it may seem, too.
In Minit, retro Zelda charm meets a world as sweet as it is strange, with more and more incentive to discover, minute by minute.

Minit is a perfect example of a game that introduces a creative new concept, explores it thoroughly, and then ends before things get stale. This may be a short game, but you're almost assured to have a blast for every bit of it, with funny dialogue, creative puzzle design, and moderate amounts of replayability all being a plus. We'd recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different than the norm, along with anybody who's looking for a title that takes after the older Zelda games. We really enjoyed our time with Minit, and we'd encourage you to take the plunge on this one.
