About Mini-Dead

✦ AI summary

Face off against four brutal bosses in this lightning-fast reflex game where you dodge with your mouse and attack by dragging to create piercing beams. Mini-Dead strips boss fights down to their pure, adrenaline-pumping essence with a deceptively simple mechanic that runs flawlessly at 144fps for maximum precision combat.

A small game about boss fights



Mini-Dead is a short but intense boss fighting game, using a simple but incredibly effective game mechanic that runs at 144 fps which is perfect for those who want to put their 144hz monitors to good use!

Three bosses stand in your way along with a fourth, secret fight.

Simple but effect game mechanic



The controls are simple.

You move with the mouse to dodge attacks.
Click and drag to create a piercing beam that damages enemies.
Release left mouse button to teleport to the end of the beam.

What better way to fight bosses than to use your mouse! The ultimate hardware for reflex based game play.

Why "Mini-Dead?"



Boss fights are cool. The feeling of overcoming a boss is pure bliss. Mini-Dead is a compressed, little brother of meatier game Dead.

Really good game, remember few years back finding this game while I was a small kid new to steam wanting free games and discovered this game as one the first. Game I kept close to my heart honestly, glad it still gets attention to this day with the DLC finally out. 10/10

Just finished the game, so here's some quick thoughts: It's nice to see this DLC released after 8 years of waiting, and I have to say it didn't disappoint! The artwork is great, the music is great, and the gameplay is great! It very much evolves on the original gameplay loop, and I found it was very satisfying and very fun! There's more I could say (so I might come back and expand this review), but know that this is totally worth the 8 bucks!

Its good, really good, especially the DLC If you want to compare, it is basically "Undertale with Mouse Controls" Although don't expect to spare anyone in here anytime soon, not with these kind of bosses Using your mouse to control movement and attacks means that the bosses here would be as fast to compensate Overall a worthwhile pick for a short fun time, even if you're just here for the original free game
