Minute of Islands
5 years ago

We’d like to show you “Minute of Islands”, an art and story driven puzzle platformer, turning the classic hero’s journey on its head.


Hi Gamejolt community,

this is Studio Fizbin from Germany. In our upcoming game “Minute of Islands”, you explore strange and wonderful islands and dark labyrinths below. Guide young mechanic Mo on her quest to repair a world on the brink of collapse. The powerful Omni Switch at your disposal may not be enough to fix the damage hidden beneath the surface…

Check out the trailer:

The development started with a game jam in 2017. The team came up with multiple small games and two of those concepts then got merged into the first version of what eventually should become “Minute of Islands”. Afterwards, we secured funding and a publishing partner, and everything expanded from there.

Since then, we’ve been pushing for the emotional impact and a certain honesty in the game’s narrative, that reflects the team’s personal experiences with heavier subjects, as well as for a distinctive art direction incorporating motives and feelings produced in that jam, such as our affinity for the North Sea. Our art director Tim Gaedke has a background as a published comic book artist. The places you are going to explore in “Minute of Islands” are created on the artist’s canvas, adding a lot of connective tissue, tiny decisions and spontaneous detail.

We’re happy to be able to show “Minute of Islands” at Gamescom and the Indie Arena Booth this week - make sure to check it out and keep an eye out for the accompanying streams, as you might catch a glimpse of the game there, as well!

You can add “Minute of Islands” to your wishlist on Steam or on GOG or follow us on Twitter or Facebook to keep in touch!
