Minit is a silly little 2D Zelda-style roguelite with an obnoxious mechanic: You die every minute. But, any items, or environmental changes you've made during your short life, are permanent. So as you collect and learn more, you become able to inch yourself closer and closer to the game's conclusion. If that sounds fun to you, you should probably play Minit! It's simple and engaging

My 4-hours includes completion of the New Game+ mode, which makes the game more difficult. I don't often do New Game+, but considering how short Minit is, and since I already understood the game world, I gave it a shot and had a pretty good time (though it is much more annoying than the 1st run!).

It's hard to recommend for $10, due to how minimal the content is. I'm sure I got it for much cheaper as a part of a bundle or something. Yes, it carries Devolver's typical focus on high polish and style with indies they publish. But these days you can get some enormous indie games for $10. Definitely decide for yourself if it's worth it. For me, I'm glad I got it on sale.

Minit is a short puzzle game built around loop-based gameplay, and while the core idea is interesting, I didn’t end up having much fun. Some parts clicked well, and I enjoyed the speedrun aspect—wish there had been more of that—but certain puzzles felt too obscure, leaving me more indifferent than excited once I figured them out. Overall, it’s okay-ish.
