Great mechanics, idea, art, music and sound. Also any game with virgins in it is +++. Seriously, this is great, easy to grasp and understand and play. You can do TONS of stuff just by having more objects on the squares.

It's good that it runs smoothly and I would be interested in seeing what you would do to take this game further.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However the premise of the game is kinda flawed as there's nothing you can do but wait for a good roll.

Since the player does a lot of waiting for the minotaur to move to squares with a known outcome, perhaps a greater variety of elements with chance outcomes would be fun, like portals that lead to random square, chests or magical scrolls."},{"author_name":"Dioiminik","author_uid":"16076","time":"Dec 27, 2012 @ 1:07am","epoch":1356570120,"text":"In my opinion the idea, the audio and the Graphics are nice and I like the idea.
