@ PleasingFungus: They don’t need to fix it… they just need to develop a minotaur version of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for when you get outside! :D

What they should have is a sandbox mode, with no highscores, but day after day smashing or serving.

caesarbear: I maxed out at 2.5 million through smashing things today (30th overall, wooooo!), and I don’t think it’s possible to do better than that through actual commerce because you don’t get huge multipliers from selling things. Rage is more fun, anyways, especially when you use charge effectively / get lucky and take out half the room in a single dash.

I wish they’d make seismic stomp effective, though, right now it just tosses already broken debris around but it won’t topple or break anything, despite being the most expensive move.

Anyone have some tips on how to make more profit by honest sales? I get close to 1mil by pure sales, but I can routinely get over a million by rage alone.

Ha, I didn’t think you’d copied at all…excellently well written and in eerily similar style is all. What other gaming site, I ask you, would post a blog in first-minotaur.

None is the correct answer. Awesome.

Minotaur China Shop: So very Zen.

It must be noted I have not yet cried with joy at MCS. Nevertheless, I expect it to happen soon.

Ha! My friend, who I introduced to the game yesterday, had the same experience as you, Ian. Wonder when/if they’ll fix that?

I think it must be something about playing this game that does it to your mind. I was genuinely on Day 4, and it all fell apart for me, and I thought his diary entry for this day might be funny. Honest I didn’t copy! But spooks, there are a lot of similarities there.

ha ha, excellent! The tone is eerily similar to the special guest blogger we had leading up to the release. And I thought we had the exclusive minoscoop…

It’s an interesting game. To get the most points, you have to very carefully run the shop. No matter how much you trash, it won’t beat an excellent shop owner.

But doing that with the constant teasing of the RAGE, tickling at you as you wander around, watching the oh-so-fragile china…

You really are a funny little fella Mr Walker :)

I managed to break a million dollar profit by maxing out Speed and Advertising, then figuring out how to touch the requested products ever so gently in order to pick them up without knocking anything over.

I also didn’t upgrade Inventory, Strength, Insurance, or buy any moves in the “non-violent” run. I actually made a lot more money that way compared to the, er, dozen or so times I’d been trashing the place.

And it was quite the challenge, too. Aided by the realization that I could pick up two items simultaneously.
