Flashbang Studios puts a ridiculously funny twist on the classic time management genre with their game Minotaur China Shop. At first, you play as an oafish Minotaur who has to sell delicate china to a variety of colorful customers. You’ll notice early on that it’s difficult to maneuver, making it very likely that you will destroy some of your precious merchandise. But worry not, you can go into a frenzied rage and break all the china you want because the insurance company’s got you covered! This segment is both satisfying and over-the-top hilarious.

I’d recommend Minotaur China Shop just because it’s one of the funniest games I’ve ever played.

4 Owning a Chia Shop is now Fun

by RedKimchi

I remember the days when my mom would drag me into those little antique stores with the fine china. Always, ALWAYS, an antique store popped up whenever we were site seeing on a family trip, and I would have to sit through an hour or so of my mom cooing over every little knick knack.

And of course, when your bored and surrounded by breakable objects, there’s only one thing on your mind.

Smashing stuff.

Like Jetback Brontosaurus, another one of Flashbang Studious odd babies, Minotaur China Shop brings two unlike things together, and makes it ridiculously fun.

The story is that you are the minotaur, fresh out of the labyrinth, and ready to make it into the big world of fine china selling. This is easier said than done, seeing that your big bulky muscles and quick temper is destroying the goods.

The game is a mixture of tedium and rage. You get 5 working days to do your thing. You can attempt to appease the customers by giving them their orders of plates, jugs, etc. In the beginning its fairly easy, but as more and more shelves pop up (through upgrades brought by the money you earn), your muscles may accidentally tip over a shelf, destroying thousands of dollars of dishes. And the minotaur doesn’t like that. Not one bit.

As more and more things break, you’ll go in “rage” mode, where your fearful customers will make for the exit, while you decide to make your shop into a dustbin. Don’t worry about the money, your insurance has got your back. Course there’s the security who decides to shoot arrows into you until you finally decide to fall into your mess. Apparently the arrows are actually tipped with tranquilizer, because you get to make another attempt the next day.

The game is really enjoyable because you do feel a bit irked when you you tip over a dish. When your white knuckling over getting a dish in between to shelves, and you end up knocking over both, you do want to smash up crap, and the game lets you and actually gives you money for doing so. Yay!

What I didn’t like was the time limit. Five days? Only five days? Sure, i know it can’t go on forever, but I would have liked another mode where I could go on for maybe 10 days, maybe 15.

But hey, it’s fun, there’s a leaderboard, and smashing up stuff (specifically my childhood nightmares) is always appealing.
