Nice one, and evil..

Seems to be an innovative idea. I also like the graphics style and the audio.

nice one, love the theme :)

Strangely enchanting. I wish there were more options and depth, but it's excellent!

Um, I love the shit out of this. 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. HUGE potential here.

Like other's have said, the potential for this is huge. I love the art style, and the theme and gameplay is fun. Once there is more added, this would be an amazing game. Great job!

I confuse at first for what it is. But after 2-3 times clicking on MOVE button, then I see how it goes.
I can see this game idea expand into family game (like monopoly) or some sort.

i often thought about a boardgame where you play the minotaur. great design, catchy tune, and a lot more fun than a game this simple should be!

Love the board game feel, solid audio also! Great job :)

nice music, cool idea

The graphics and the audio for the game is pretty ok. It's good that it runs smoothly and I would be interested in seeing what you would do to take this game further.

However the premise of the game is kinda flawed as there's nothing you can do but wait for a good roll. I don't know whether the ship would have helped change that but there you go.

Why is this so addictive!! It reminds me of Scarab of Ra for the Mac, for some reason.

The mood, music AND graphics are superb. Seriously inspired idea, making it look like greek red-figure pottery

Congrats can't wait to play the final version

A very soothing game about sacrificing virgins and eating the hearts of brave warriors. A simple idea that is very well executed.

Hey, really good job with this one. Really enjoyed the feel of the game, the graphics, the music, etc. It's a pretty cool idea and I look forward to playing again if you do work on it more.

An elegant premise, jfroco, and aesthetics to match. 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.

In my opinion the idea, the audio and the Graphics are nice and I like the idea. But after a few levels the Gameplay is getting way to repetitive and Boring. Has a lot of potential though!

pierrec 2012-12-27 07:40

The game isn't really fun right now, but I can see the potential of a very neat little puzzle. I remember having fun choosing my path in Mario Party, this could totally work in here. The labyrinth should be more complex and hard, il would be a weird kind of rogue-like and I think I would enjoy it!

fishbrain 2012-12-27 09:18

I like the monochromatic style of icons. Has potential. Perhaps the map should be partially hidden? (fog-of-war)

bechsen 2012-12-27 18:27

Great game overall!

zelen3d 2012-12-27 20:29

Well executed. Smooth, but not enough buttons!

rosypenguin 2012-12-29 07:38

Great game, unique gameplay and fits nicely with the theme.

gornova 2012-12-29 16:24

nice!
