Minotaur China Shop game coming out today (PC)

Minotaur China Shop game coming out today (PC)

Ah indie games. They are going to save the universe. You would never hear a big studio investing $10 million to make a game based around an angry minotaur getting even angrier and busting up china, in a china shop. And yes, that pretty much describes the whole game, Minotaur China Shop, which is being released today, by Blurst, makers of Splume and my personal favorite, Off-Road Velociraptor Safari.

You probably don't need my expertise to decipher this from the video below yourself, but in this game, the idea is to get smash as much china as possible, with your minotaur. To me this sounds like a much more original and fresh concept for a game than say, recent retread PC releases such as Need For Speed Undercover or Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, but hey, that could just be me. 

The game isn't out just right now at the moment, but the good guys of Blurst say it is coming today for super-sure. And it will be free, apparently.

"Fresh from the labyrinth, a minotaur opens his own china shop. Equipped with fine china, a small business license, and a debilitating case of Minotaur Rage, will he succeed? Will his Minotaur Rage insurance policy be enough?"
