Community Insight:
Minit is a great quality Action/Adventure game. All of the areas in the game have their own special vibes. The characters are inspired and memorable. Minit is a great fit for an iPhone app. The touch screen controls work perfectly. By the way, the 4 arrowed control circle shown in Minits app page images is a full circle pad that slides around in a circle which is ideal for most games with a birds eye perspective such as this one. There is also a vegan mode that can be accessed immediately in the games settings before playing.
We got this game yesterday and have beat it 5 times already on normal mode. Its really fun with its time limit twist and fun characters. We would would recommend this game to anyone who has been looking for THAT adventure game.
This game was a lot of fun. At first, the one-minute limit annoyed us, but we came to enjoy it as part of the challenge. The puzzles were quirky but with their own logic. The gradual increase of difficulty felt just right. We enjoyed exploring the world of Minit, and Im sad that its over.
This is a great game with an awesome gimmick! We loved some of the scenarios you might end up in… It was so nostalgic as well, reminding us of The Legend of Zelda and other top down dungeon games. Great characters, and also great progression! Totally worth the $4.99! We would probably buy this game if it was $10! Im glad it was ported to mobile since its perfect for a short break! 5/5.
We LIKE TO PLAY MINIT, SOMETIMES we KNOW WHAT TO DO! ANYWAY, FOR THE ALGORITHM… AVOID NOT PLAYING MINIT.
So one day we were sittin on the toilet, just sittin there, then , all of the sudden, we were downloadin this game , now we dont have no reception so we were confuzzled on how we twas downloadin it; how am we downloadin this mobile application on our iPhone 4 (we twas confuzzled] . This mobile application is a grand old time though; always keeps us bubbly with interesting entertainment. Yes we can do this on a Sunday night and we will go get a ride home from the house or just go get it and then we will have a good; is your birthday and then you have a couple hours to get your stuff. Great mobile application.
We played through Minit over the course of about three days, and spent around 3 hours completing the game itself. Sure, its kinda short, but we thought it was completely worth the $1.99 we payed for it. Every puzzle and challenge you face in the game is fun and not overly difficult, which we liked. It took us a fairly long time to find the 7 coins to purchase the fast shoes, which we now realize are not really required to win the game. However, they are required to get a heart at the end of a maze in the desert temple…so maybe the time we spent finding those founds was worth it. Anyway, we might play through it a second time to find some more items, hearts, and coins, but as of right now, Im very satisfied with the game.
We dont mind it in this game. It becomes relaxing having to do things in limited segments. Controls good enough for our tendon problems. Fun game.
Fun concept, but short! Completed it in an hour.
Its a very good game and very fun by the controls on iPhone, we dont know if its our phone but sometimes the Controls wont listen to our movements. We hope you fix this bug or maybe its a problem on our phone.
If you havent played Minit, you need to. You know a game is brilliant when the concept is so solid, it can be ported BACK to the 80s Commodore 64 computer. Super fun in bite-sized pieces gameplay sessions run, Id say, roughly, a minute. Heh. And once you finish play it again to find all the secrets! Definitely deserves all the awards in the universe. We bought this for the second or third time as an app here.
First of all this game is number one on the App Store ( our Opinion ). Second of all we finally found a new game we like on the App Store. Its filled with lots of adventure, action, and puzzle stuff. We recommend this game if youre into this kinda stuff. We are also a fan of your other game Downwell. Awesome stuff Devolver Digital makes.
Despite its length, the game provides a wonderful experience of adventure. The player begins their journey by picking up a cursed sword, limiting the players life to 1 minute excursions to find a way to lift said curse, dying when time runs out. But do not be discouraged, as each excursion builds upon the last, pushing the story forward to uncovering the mystery. A thesis of quality over quantity.
Dont miss this game. Wonderful retro RPG action.
Minit is a cute, unique game thats easy for anyone to play. The story starts with the protagonist picking up the sword and journeying through the game one minute at a time to return the cursed sword. You meet cute little characters along the way and work to progress through simple but fun puzzles. We enjoyed the game with its cute graphics and its fun music. Our only qualm with the game was that we got finished with the game relatively quick (around 2 hours), but even then, the game was definitely worth buying, we enjoyed it a lot and will be recommending it to our friends to play. Even when you finish the game, theres still some side quests worth completing.
Dont skip this game! Its really fun.
Water the dog, its worth the price alone.
Thais game is absolutely amazing and all.. But our problem with it is that we had to scroll the screen just so get the character to move to the direction we want… Our phone screen is small and it would be so much helpful if you add touch controls instead of scrolling scroll… Many thanks to this awesome game.
Been a while since we played a fun, simple, challenging new iOS game, love it! Just wish there was cloud syncing between devices.
Amazing game. Enjoyed every Minit of it. But Im having an issue. We started a Mary playthrough and our saved data is not showing. It pulled up one time when we clicked New Game and showed it but when trying to continue it will not show. Now whenever we go to start a new game it is only giving us one option to start a new game over our saved profile. Not three options like when we started the Mary playthrough.
Its fun,and stressful. We find this game really fun but after it gets boring.
Really enjoyed playing through this game although the movement could use some work. The joystick is not the best. Otherwise, it is a very unique experience.
Controller support is iffy at best. But the game is fun.
Starts off strong, but by the end there are way too many things that are impossible to figure out on your own, even if you unlock hints. So you either give up or cheat. Disappointing either way.
This can be fun and the concept is perfect for mobile. Unfortunately the controls are poorly thought out. It uses the awkward d-pad + button combination that never worked in all early touch screen games. Its not tragic but is a drag on the experience.
Please consider putting a music & FX on/off option in settings. Lovely game but prefer to play with our music playing in the background. Thanks.
Seems like a fun game, but unfortunately we never have any idea what to do. Frustrating.
This game need to be updated to properly dim the Home Bar. The inaccurate screenshots do not depict the alway on Home Bar.
The in app controller is not very precise and yet there are several puzzles and fights that require precise moves. And what is worse is that he have mere seconds to get the controller just situated correctly. It makes the game more about precisely lining up things than exploration or fun.
Paid $4.99 and the game doesnt even fill the screen…its so tiny we cant even tell whats supposed to be happening. RIP OFF! Beware.
