MINIM
A minimalist turn-based strategy game where forethought is survival. Your past moves repeat in reverse—use them, or be undone by them.
MINIM is a minimalist turn-based strategy game where every room loops and your past actions return to challenge you.
Think carefully, plan ahead, and adapt on the fly as your own actions become your greatest threat.
Every loop is a chance to push further, but only if you can outmanoeuvre yourself.
Complete Puzzle Rooms
Each room is a bite-sized, grid-based puzzle that requires you to reach the exit; simple in concept, but increasingly complex in execution.
Think tactically. Every move, item, or path you choose will echo forward in time.
Face Off Against Past Actions
The twist: when you return to a room, your previous selfs replay in reverse, mimicking every item used, tile stepped, and path chosen.
What helped you escape before now blocks your way. Can you turn your own decisions into an advantage?
Use Abilities to Bend the Rules
Throughout your run, you’ll discover powerful abilities that will aid you in traversing the world.
Dash across gaps, create new walls where there shouldn’t be, and even create mad explosions of fire around you!
These abilities offer long-term strategy and synergy - perfect for building clever systems and breaking them in creative ways. But be warned; your enemies will copy these abilities against you too.
Navigate Shifting Biomes
Each full loop transforms the game world. Environments, enemies, and mechanics evolve between biomes, offering fresh challenge and strategic twists.
No two runs are the same.
With its looping structure, minimalist presentation, and strategic depth, MINIM delivers satisfying, cerebral gameplay for fans of puzzlers that reward planning and experimentation.
Whether you're chasing the highest loop count or just trying to break your own systems in clever ways, MINIM invites you to master yourself—one step at a time.
