### 4/5 — Excellent!

*2020-11-07*

This game is awesome, very clever gameplay, good art and the music is really good! I would totally put 5 stars except that:
- On newer iPads the app doesn't use the whole screen, it hasn't been updated to do so, so the app is shrunk
- When using a controller, although you can play, you can't navigate through the UI (it doesn't show you what item is selected, making it really hard to use)

I'll put a 4 for now but will gladly update my review once these problems are fixed!

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2020-07-08, version 1.0.9*

I was looking around the App Store for rpgs, and I decided on getting Minit. I knew Devolver Digital because of Downwell, so I was looking forward to playing it.
It was worth 4.99.
I was familiar with half minute hero, so this looked like fun. The controls are good for mobile, with one joystick and button. The collectibles and characters were wacky and helped set a mood for this game.
Also, get Downwell if you haven’t already. It’s really good.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2020-06-01*

This is a great game with an awesome gimmick! I loved some of the scenarios you might end up in... It was so nostalgic as well, reminding me of The Legend of Zelda and other top down dungeon games. Great characters, and also great progression! Totally worth the $4.99! I would probably buy this game if it was $10! I’m glad it was ported to mobile since it’s perfect for a short break! 5/5

### 5/5 — HELLO THERE...

*2020-05-25, version 1.0.9*

I LIKE TO PLAY MINIT,
SOMETIMES I KNOW WHAT TO DO!
ANYWAY, FOR THE ALGORITHM...
AVOID NOT PLAYING MINIT!

### 3/5 — Fun game with buggy controls

*2020-05-21, version 1.0.9*

Controller support is iffy at best. But the game is fun

### 3/5 — Wonderful game with compatibility issues

*2020-05-01*

This is, by far, a brilliant game, full of whimsical adventure, a unique game mechanic, perfect sound, and wonderful, antiquated graphics. Paradoxically, the time limit in each 'reincarnation' is unnerving and also relaxing, as you know whatever discoveries you make shall carry over to your next jaunt into the world. An immersive (despite its seemingly limitations) Zelda-esque experience that does not disappoint. 

My only complaint, which influenced my rating, is that although it states it is compatible with iOS 8, it constantly crashes on the title screen on both my 2nd and 4th generation iPads, outdated devices which, nonetheless, have the requisite operating system. This is only a concern as I believe the game is better appreciated on a larger screen, of which I do not possess a newer device.

### 5/5 — Short but sweet

*2020-04-26, version 1.0.9*

Charming game with a touch of uniqueness. Nice soundtrack too. A little shorter than I expected but with two additional game modes available after reaching certain milestones.

Definitely worth a try if you don’t mind the price and want to occupy a few hours.

### 5/5 — Одна из самых оригинальнейших игр в App Store

*2020-04-21, version 1.0.9*

Игра исполнена в жанре приключений, с элементами RPG, на манер игр на gameboy. Визуал игры как и музыка в ней - это что то уникальное. Локации действительно интересные и постоянно удивляют новыми секретами и побочными квестами, даже после прохождения основной части игры, в мире остается куча интересных персонажей и неизведанных мест.
Сюжет не замысловат, но концепция игры довольно интересна. Вам дается 60 секунд на все про все и крутись как хочешь, а вещи остаются в инвентаре.
Сама игра не сказал бы что длинная, но и не особо короткая, с учетом побочных квестов она полностью окупает свою цену.

### 5/5 — Obra maestra

*2020-04-19, version 1.0.9*

He disfrutado de él de principio a fin. Es como un Zelda pero con un temporizador de 60s, que hace que te plantees bien como llegar a tiempo para conseguir el objeto que necesitas para seguir avanzando.
En otros juegos no llegas a conocer todos sus recovecos y escondites, pero con éste sí, puesto que vuelves una y otra vez al mismo sitio, pero con alguna habilidad/objeto nuevo que hace que se abran nuevas rutas, localizaciones,...
Probar todo lo que se os ocurra, que hay muchísimas sorpresas escondidas.
Como colofón, la elección de pixeles sólo en blanco y negro es acertadísima, y los diálogos y la historia son memorables.

### 5/5 — Greatest game ever

### 3/5 — iPhone se

*2020-03-19, version 1.0.9*

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2020-03-16*

Thais game is absolutely amazing and all.. but my problem with it is that I had to scroll the screen just so get the character to move to the direction I want... my 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

### 4/5 — Sad about time limit

*2020-03-16, version 1.0.9*

Trash

### 5/5 — Jolly mobile application!

*2020-02-15*

So one day I was sittin on the toilet, just sittin there, then , all of the sudden, I was downloadin this game , now I dont have no reception so I was confuzzled on how I ‘‘twas downloadin it; “how am I downloadin this mobile application on my iPhone 4” (I ‘twas confuzzled] 😔🤯. This mobile application is a grand old time though; always keeps me 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!👍

### 1/5 — Beware - Always on Home Bar.

*2021-09-02, version 1.0.9*

This game need to be updated to properly dim the Home Bar. The inaccurate screenshots do not depict the alway on Home Bar.

### 1/5 — 起動しませんでした

*2020-03-20*

iOS10ですが、他の方と同じく起動しませんでした。
メモリ解放してもダメ。
初めて返金処理をお願いしました。
こんなことってあるんですね。

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2020-01-08, version 1.0.9*

Сразу вылетает на iPhone se (ios 10.3.3) и iPad pro 10,5 (ios 10.3.3)

### 1/5 — 動作しません(>_<)

購入しましたが、動作しません。
OS10.3.3
iPhone7plus
です。

### 1/5 — Würde es auf keinen Fall wieder kaufen

*2019-10-16*

Eigentlich eine schöne Idee, aber wirklich Spaß gemacht hat das Spiel nicht. 
Man muss weder irgendwo groß überlegen, noch ist irgendwelche Geschicklichkeit gefragt. 
Gerade einmal 38 Minuten gespielt, dann ist das Spiel nach einem kleinen Bosskampf auch schon überraschend zu Ende. 
Sehr ernüchternd und enttäuschend. 

Dem Spiel hätte ich für die erfrischende Idee 4 Sterne gegeben, dank des Gameplays vielleicht noch 2-3 Sterne aber aufgrund des Preises gibt es nur 1 Stern, um Leute vor dem Kauf zu warnen. 
Bei 5,49 € für 38 Minuten sind das fast 15 Cent pro Spielminute - was ich vielleicht noch toleriert hätte, wenn das Spiel auch nur den geringsten Anspruch oder wenigstens Spaß bieten würde. 

So ist das einfach nur dreist.

### 1/5 — Horrible controller makes for frustrating game play

*2019-08-13*

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.

### 1/5 — The app doesn't work :(

*2019-07-18*

Hi, I've an issue with Minit on my iPad: when I clic on the icon I have a black 1sec. and then the app crash. So nothing work!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this

*2019-06-30, version 1.0.9*

Paid $4.99 and the game doesn’t even fill the screen...it’s so tiny I can’t even tell what’s supposed to be happening. RIP OFF!
Beware

### 1/5 — 起動しない

### 2/5 — What to do?

*2019-12-26, version 1.0.9*

Seems like a fun game, but unfortunately I never have any idea what to do.  Frustrating.

### 5/5 — Vegan Mode ✅

*2025-09-01*

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 Minit’s app page images is a full circle pad that slides around in a circle which is ideal for most games with a bird’s eye perspective such as this one.

There is also a vegan mode that can be accessed immediately in the game’s settings before playing.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-01-29, version 1.0.9*

I knew devolver digital because of cult of the lamb and cricket through the ages so I was expecting good things from this game. It completely surpassed all my expectations! Heavily recommend buying both this and the two other games mentioned above. All three are amazing!

### 5/5 — 面白かった

*2021-11-17*

120円の時に購入しましたが
もちろん値段以上の面白さがありました
しっかり日本語でストーリーもよく
出来ていたと思いました
続編希望

### 5/5 — Зельда

*2021-09-03, version 1.0.9*

Напоминает чем то Зельду

### 5/5 — Pretty awesome

*2021-08-17*

I got this game yesterday and have beat it 5 times already on normal mode. It’s really fun with its time limit twist and fun characters. I would would recommend this game to anyone who has been looking for THAT adventure game.

### 5/5 — Fun game! Stick with it!

*2021-07-27*

This game was a lot of fun. At first, the one-minute limit annoyed me, but I 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. I enjoyed exploring the world of Minit, and I’m sad that it’s over.

### 5/5 — AAAAAAAA I CANT GET ENOUGH!!!!!

*2021-04-25*

Legitimately best game on the App Store!!! I have a gameboy, and often enjoy Zelda, so this is like an somewhat familiar, nostalgic, game, with a modern touch. 

Thank you, Devolver, for the best game I’ve played in a while.

:)

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2020-12-10*

This game is amazin! The adventure is really fun, I keep discovering more and more secrets, and it’s really nice to just pick up and play! Good game, totally worth the money!

### 5/5 — Unico!

*2020-07-20, version 1.0.9*

### 5/5 — Kewl

*2020-07-14*
