Dodge bullet hell, upgrade yourself, and survive five minutes.

Minutescape has one goal. Survive five minutes in a row while bullets fill the screen. You won't manage it at first. Each attempt earns points, and you spend those points on abilities and upgrades, so the next try lasts a bit longer. The dodging is real bullet hell, so your reflexes and precise movement matter. The upgrades matter just as much. Some of them change how combat works, and new abilities keep unlocking as you play, so the game keeps opening up well past what it looks like at the start. The look is retro and each attempt is quick, so dying and trying again never costs much time. It came out on Steam in April 2025. It suits players who like arcade dodging but also enjoy watching a character get stronger between attempts, and anyone who wants short sessions with a clear target to hit.
