Minit Fun Racer absolutely crushes the original Minit as a looper game, I would much much rather practice and improve at a looping game of challenge than running through the same empty fields to die in a looping game of exploration. Fun Racer makes the loop iterative while the originals loop struggles with being redundant.

The one uncontested pro of Minit is its dense, multifaceted world design - but the pleasure of that level design comes at a constant upfront cost and frankly Id rather have the intuitive challenges of a more arcadey game than the obtuse challenges of a puzzle game where Im working with almost no time to ponder or experiment.
