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!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Chiaki Nanami!

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
