## About Minit

Minit is a 2018 indie adventure in which players explore a Zelda-style 2D world, but every action lasts only sixty seconds before a time-loop reset. The twist is that permanent upgrades and items are retained across each run, meaning players gradually unlock new paths and shortcuts as they experiment with different objectives. Players describe it as challenging and contemplative despite its cozy, whimsical tone, and reviewers highlight the minimalist pixel art with charm, quirky characters, and how the strict time limit forces creative planning. The world design invites exploration through its interconnected structure, and permanent progression ensures each sixty-second run feels meaningful. The game is priced at $9.99 USD and runs verified on Steam Deck.
