What did you expect from a game ONE MINIT LONG, hurr hurr hurr hurr.

Cut the review into 13 videos, 1 minute each. Now THAT'S meta.

This running joke about fucking up Mario’s name is actually the best part of this channel

You know, I see Minit the opposite way. Minit is an otherwise unimpressive game made incredibly interesting by the additional 60 second restriction placed on the player. These puzzles are a lot more interesting when you can only try to piece them together 60 seconds at a time, and every time you step outside, you need to do it with a very specific plan on what you're going to try this time. And honestly, the fact that you can beat it in an hour and be done doesn't really bother me.

*_SUPER MARARIO WORLD_*

SUPER MA RAYO WORLD

"Super *Maraio* World"

When I first saw the video, I thought the title was “Mint review”. I was thinking Joseph lost his goddamn mind and started making shit post reviews.

I deeply enjoy the giant middle finger in the form of the pronunciation of the word "Mario".

The obligatory Dark Souls reference~

A short and snacky Joeseph Anderson video, just what I needed for my Saturday evening!

I appreciate the little jabs between you and Mandalor Gaming. Adds a lot to the believability of the "KZfaq Video Game Critics' Extended Universe".

Aaaaaah Canadian property value jokes. Yknow, Joe... I watch your videos to ESCAPE reality DAMMIT!

I remember, Joe once said on stream "I like these silly jokes and memes on twitch, but i wouldn't want them to seep into my videos." He failed.

"This makes the plant growing bit make little sense" ... It's growing over time. It would in fact make LESS sense if time were restting.

That's a shame. I'd heard a lot of praise for the 60-second life mechanic, though I can't help but feel that it's from people getting too carried away with how the concept could be utilised, as opposed to how it's actually executed. Ah well, made for an interesting review anyway.

It's a game made quickly with a small team to experiment with a fun mechanic. Definitely a great game if you go into it with the right expectations, a fun interesting 2 hour long experience.

Mispronouncing Mario as much as possible to satirize all of the petty complaints on the Odyssey video; well played.

I loved the “Obligatory Dark Souls Reference”, it really shocked me and I love to see you changing stuff up (even in just minor ways). Your content is so solid and I always watch your videos the moment they’re out, keep up the good work!

I, as someone generally opposed to serious speedrunning, liked it as a simple puzzle game with an emphasis on optimally routing your path.

Idk about the game I just need to hear Joseph's voice

I've rarely run into a game where my initial reaction of "oh, this looks interesting" has turned to "this isn't for me" as quickly as it did with Minit. I haven't just played free games with more content than this, I've played a *dozen* free games with more content, and more interesting premises to boot. The closest thing I can think of to this was a very lightweight exploration game called Fairune that I bought for a couple of bucks to play on my 3DS. On the other hand we have a game like Kero Blaster, which I gladly paid ten bucks for and have played for something like ten hours at this point without getting bored. I don't think you're at all wrong to call this overpriced. To me this seems like an indie game for people who don't usually play indie games and expect very little of them. Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt was made in 72 hours and *it* feels more polished than this. What a letdown.

Hi, I just found your channel through your Hollow Knight analysis and Ive been binge watching all your videos, I hope you haven't abandoned your channel as I really enjoy your hour long reviews/analysis videos, I just wanted to say keep up the good work.

Wow toronto real estate humor? Hello fellow torontonian!

I really like when you offer suggestions to improve games. It’s often my favorite part about your videos. You have a great mind for improving many games in very interesting ways. If your books are half as interesting I would probably love reading those as well. The one thing I’m missing is the early viewing of videos. I don’t think you’ll ever stop everyone from sharing the early access link but it would be cool if we still got the benefit even if someone abuses it.

You leave Mandy alone, Bad Dragon, he's a gud boi

3:16. Why do you do this to us, Joseph, do we deserve this suffering?

I don’t understand your criticism of how the plant is growing, it’s completely consistent with the rest of the game yet you seem to think it isn’t? If other people remember meeting you, it makes sense that the plant should also “remember” being watered. How is that a discrepancy?

When you can get Hollow Knight on sale for $9.89, but this costs $10

1. Buy the game 2. Play it in under two hours 3. Refund it 4. No profit, but no loss

Oooh. A Mandalore Gaming reference. Neat.

Have you played a game, with also time loop system, named The Sexy Brutale?

I can only imagine what you're working on if it's taking four months. The excitement is palpable

So this is a watered down 1 minute hero?

@Joseph Anderson: Less than 15 minutes of video length? What is this witchcraft!? Who are you and what have you done to Joe!? :O

Super Mar-io World

3 months boys WE GOT SOMETHIN BIG COMING

Did you do this review just for the minute pun at the end?

"Comedy is the hardest to write" Super Ma-Rai-oh world *dies from laughter*

Your idea to pour water down the snorkel guy's snorkel made me spit out my water in laughter

The time limit mechanic was done really well in half minute hero. I really enjoyed my time with it and it surprisingly had a lot of content.

"O b l i g a t o r y D a r k S o u l s R e f e r e n c e"

Normally never comment prior to watching a video but I made it here early and wanted to say that I’m looking forward to it! Love it when you upload and hope things are going well for you!

While I agree that a loop would have been more interesting, I have no idea how you believe that the plant growing doesn't make sense. If it was a time loop, then the plant's growth would RESET. But it's not a loop; time persists, so you are able to grow the plant over a series of days

So you're saying I can finish the game and get it refunded.

Dollars per hour is not a valid way to judge a game. 🙄🙄🙄

>make an exploration-based game >strict time limit, stuff resets every time ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm going to assume "mar-aye-oh" was a jab at people who complained about "mehrio". GG

in the plant's defense, the guy hints at waiting in line.

JOSEPH ANDERSON, MARK BROWN, ERRANT SIGNAL. You three are the true heros

HURR HURR HURR HURR

That snorkel guy comes up once you’ve killed enough of the guys near him, that’s what he means by “it’s safe?”

It would really be cool of you analysed the ins and outs of Terraria, but it would take you around 600 hours to even come close to doing everything that you can do in that game, so I understand if it never happens. However, I'm confident in saying it's the most *Game* you can get for $10 anywhere on the market, so you could try looking at it from that perspective.

There is always an episode of supernatural that does *insert clever gimmick* really well

Surely the plant continuing to grow after successively watering it each day is pretty obvious evidence that each minute of gameplay is indeed representative of a successive day in a linear time sequence? Whatever Joseph's argument for the contrary was seemed like pretty bad mental gymnastics.

That ending line gets me everytime. Awesome video as always!

I think it is safe to say that your reviews are excellent when I have solidified opinions on liking the games that you review negatively and yet I still find a lot of enjoyment in it. These reviews aren't circle-jerks on loving or hating a game; they are solely for you to voice your own opinion and I have to give you high respect for it. Thanks for the videos and entertainment!

The obligatory dark souls reference is my new favourite thing in this world.

That shot at Toronto real estate hits pretty literally close to home

If you like time loops, you should really check out Outer Wilds. It has a really really great story and gameplay mechanics that I think are worth reviewing.

“Obligatory dark souls reference” I expect this every time you make a dark souls reference

I didn’t hear a single “but, we’ll get back to that later”

Damn I really haven't felt fanboy rage like this for years. I loved minit and I hope their is a sequel.

For 10 dollars for the remake or literally 0 dollars for the original (which has a similarly retro art style), you could get la-mulana, one of the biggest games in sheer scale of the world I've ever played, with fairly similar puzzle solving systems involving cryptic riddles to find items and items to rub against other items. It's not perfect, but it's basically this game but better.

I'm so glad your review exists I thought I was living in an alternate universe where this game was the best thing ever created. Every single review praised it to death an beyond, I bought it, played it, and it was all types of meh.

Watching this video 5 times to reach 1 hour watchtime

It sounds like a game jam idea that was made into a full product.

4:19 hello there Bill Wurtz, fancy meeting you here

You think that house would sell for 1 million in Toronto. Try London, a shed sold for 500 grand here!

4:18 Come on dude I just took a sip of water and now its everywhere

I'm usually a big fan, but the early criticism in this video made no sense. The plant growing gimmick wouldn't make any sense in a Groundhog Day style time loop; it would only make sense if you're actually dying and resurrecting the next day. Same with you saying that the game was cheating by letting you lock into a new respawn location; I don't see how that would be cheating, but what would be cheating is if the developers decided to have areas that froze/stopped the timer, similar to the examples you gave. And I just don't get how people can still be valuing a game based on how much time it takes to beat it; it's a nonsensical and immature metric; if you like something you'll replay it over and over; the amount of gameplay hours isn't a hard fact, so the time it takes to finish it isn't a real measure of value. It wasn't until you talked about the flippers and how the time limit didn't change anything about them that what you said made sense to me. After that point I understood the rest of your criticisms and could see why you hadn't enjoyed the experience. It is disappointing that the items and puzzles function essentially identical to a game without a time limit.

The obligatory Dark Souls reference jingle was great.

Love the new stylish additions you made, they lightened up the video, and got a laugh out of me. Keep up the awesome content!

"Modest house that would still sell for over a $1million in Toronto" so sad but true

I love watching your patreon climb! Seeing such high quality content being rewarded is incredibly satisfying.

Yo man, the bit about pouring water down the dude's snorkel...brilliant. Got a good laugh out of me.

Disappointed that the review didn't reset my browser every minute.

Cost less than a game did of that length back in the 90's. And gave me a fun experience.

"Modest house that'd sell for 1000000 dollars in Toronto" sadly accurate

You are so proud of that "not minute, minute " quip at the end

No way he made new tabs. OMG, he did. Worth a pause.

My favourite thing about this channel is the really great solutions you come with for mechanic of narrative issues in games that you're obliged to "admit" are not that great

Dark souls reference? Careful, or Shammy might cut ya!

a short video that isnt a shit post?! What a time to be alive.

"evil assholes by pouring water down the snorkel"... pretty sure early dragonball did that with hot tea against the ninja in the muscle tower

The way he said mario gives me conniptions...

That same house now goes for 3 million.

Sounds like you just want to play The Outer Wilds.

Progressively getting further from the proper pronunciation of Mario is perfect and I love him

You went so far out there with amusing references in this video, great editing. You made me lol.

"In persona 5" PERSONA 5 VIDEO CONFIRM

Are we not going to talk about the Mandalore cameo

"Super Mariah-o World" TRIGGERRED

Minit is free in Epic Store next so there is no entry fee to this experiment now :D

Loved your Toronto real estate joke, didn't know you were Canadian!

That Toronto housing joke was too real man

The way he says Mario proves that he read the comments.

What a bummer. Great example of a concept never fleshed out. That minute pun at the end, though... was the perfect ending.

that dark souls cut holy shit. Laughing so fucking hard
