There have definitely been other charity initiatives in video games before, like 11-11: Memories Retold, which saw its sole DLC entirely devoted to the charity NGO War Child. On the other hand, Minit Fun Racer is developed from the ground up as a volunteer project through and through, published by Devolver Digital but entirely contributing profits to charities in perpetuity. It’s a great and unique way for game developers to give back, and a mellower follow-up to (most of) this team’s previous release, last year’s absorbing and challenging Disc Room. Give Minit Fun Racer a go, even if it’s just to show that gamers show up to support where it counts.
Minit Fun Racer is a clever mix of an arcade racing game with some roguelite elements. Despite its shortness, the game still offers a few hours of fun, and should not be overlooked by those looking for something fresh and different.
