To me minimalism when applied to a game is a game that has all the icing (graphics) and bells-and-whistles removed so you are left with just the bare gameplay. Using block graphics is certainly one path, but for me the pure path to a minimalist game was text. Text does not mean adventure game. To prove that point I decided to create a platform game.
I took the theme to the limits by even incorporating the title and instructions directly into the gameplay. Unfortunately I did not have the full 2 days to work on this game, so was only able to finish 9.
