About this game
Freeze time and defeat your enemies! Minute Man is a 2D beat 'em up platformer where you can freeze time as you're fighting to secure an advantage. Fight through various waves of enemies and defeat bosses in seven levels, keeping time frozen as you chain combos against your enemies!
Features:
Freeze time as you fight your enemies! In each level, you have a limited number of time freezes available for use at any time. Time stays frozen for three seconds by default, with the timer pausing as you land hits; therefore, you will want to stay on the attack even while time is frozen!
Build combos and killstreaks as you continue your attack, building your score as you speed through waves of enemies.
Fight seven clans in seven levels, each with several waves of enemies and a boss to defeat. Each clan has unique methods and tools for combat, so be prepared!

Clan Portraits & Pre-Release News
Hello all,Minute Man will be releasing in less than 24 hours! For this, I wanted to post the full clan portraits and show them off to you guys:These portraits will be used in the level select and for achievements instead of the previously shown images. Feel free to use them for your non-commercial purposes as well.Additionally, I've done partial run-throughs of most of the clans in the game, which can be seen on our Youtube channel. The most recent one for the Squid Clan is shown below:Finally, when Minute Man releases, the demo will be pulled. It's fairly out of date at this point and not really worth maintaining, in all honesty.We are excited to release the game and hope that you will enjoy it too!Read full article on Community Announcements (Bigcheecho)AnnouncementsOfficial
Achievements
Hello all,I got achievements done today, so they will be a part of the full game. There are a few with pretty straightforward conditions: Level CompletionThese achievements are received upon the completion of a level. This, of course, includes the hardest level in the game - the tutorial clan. In a technical sense, they are awarded when you defeat a boss and the level ends; this means editing your save file will not give you this achievement. Five Digit ScoreThese achievements are received upon completing a level with a five digit (or higher, though I'm not sure if that's actually possible) score. Roughly speaking, this is close to sustaining a combo across an entire level excluding the boss, though I've found there's a bit of leeway in my test runs. The tutorial clan isn't included because they are too strong. Like the level completion achievements, they are awarded after the defeat of a boss; once again, you can not save file edit your way to these achievements.Open the Game ClanThis achievement is received as soon as you open the game. This both exists as a joke and as a useful analytic (How many people who bought the game actually opened it?).As a reminder, the full game releases on October 1st, 2026 - please try the demo, wishlist it, and buy the full game on release!Read full article on Community Announcements (Bigcheecho)AnnouncementsOfficial
Better Pre Release Demo Release
Hello all! We have updated a better pre-release demo, featuring some changes to the multiplier mechanics - we now have three new types of multipliers (Aerial, Slide, and Throw). Additionally, multipliers will now be added together into a total multiplier rather than multiplied together and only count at 2x or higher.Remember that the full game is released on October 1st - we are very excited to bring this game to you and we hope you will enjoy it!Read full article on Community Announcements (Bigcheecho)
