Vibes – £2.49, works on PS Vita
Vibes is a really well put together rhythm action game where the focus is on the centre of the screen rather than the beats simply scrolling down from top to bottom. The music’s varied and there’s a fair bit to the game, which can be picked up in a bundle along with Cubixx.
Fieldrunners – price not listed
I seem to buy Fieldrunners on every platform I can get it for, for me it’s the perfect translation of the tower defense genre that, along with the wicked Vector TD, is more than enough for me. This is sublime, and absolutely worth picking up.
Canabalt – £1.74, works on PS Vita
And finally, Canabalt, an outwardly simple ‘endless running’ game that manages to keep you hooked simply by virtue of our repetitive, compulsive nature to better ourselves. It’s not rocket science, but it’s pure gameplay, and sometimes that’s all you need.
Of course, there are dozens of great minis out there, so if we’ve missed any of your favourites let us know in the comments.
Prices correct at the time of going to press, based on those listed on the European PS Vita Store. Availability may differ by region. Don’t drop your Vita whilst playing Canabalt. Don’t put a magnet on your floppy.

I actually have all of these titles and can fully agree, these are some worthwhile titles on any platform. give em a try

I have Fieldrunners and Age of Zombies which are good fun.
The issue for some might be that £3+ is a little expensive, when you can buy MotorStorm RC for a similar price, or pay another £3/£4 for a full PSN game with multiplayer and trophies.

Flying Hamster, Space Shooter for $2 and Floating Cloud God are my picks, minis are great for keeping SEUs alive on PlayStation. Now.. can we have a port of R-Type?

Fieldrunners is very good and I think it’s only £1.99. Pixeljunk monsters should be on there surely.

Monsters isn’t a minis.

Woo Vibes got featured! Such an under rated game! There really are some awesome minis, wish they got more recognition in general and on the Vita.

Impossible game?

Nice mini write-up, i would add BreakQuest and Space Shooter for 2 Bucks.
Izorpo
BreakQuest is absolute genius – loved that game, a must for any arkanoid fans

urbanix, retro cave flyer and stick man rescue are also good fun.

I have a few of these minis: Velocity, Ages of Zombies and Fieldrunners. Enjoyed all three of these! I dont play minis that often but if I have a spare 10mins they are worth a go :) Also enjoy the impossible game, I must run and babel king of the blocks :)
