is good to try to simplify... but what you keep should magnify the experience by taking things away instead of adding features... the platformed genre has been overused :P

interesting concept but a bit too much on the lecturing side. You could turn those texts into a gameplay element or story and it would a lot more fun to watch and play :)

It seems like the actual purpose of minimalism was missed here. Minimalism does not mean a lack of features.

To me minimalism is about getting to the essentials while getting rid of excess. For a game, one of the essentials has to be fun.

Too pretentious and too little of a game in my opinion.

I love these kinds of "meta games". Nice job!

I liked the idea of exploring the concept of minimalism more directly, it was interesting, but the game itself wasn't particularly enjoyable apart from that.

It's certainly minimal, but minimalism..? Not so sure. A little on the short side too.
