Just a small suggestion of what I would  add in terms of difficulty: Have more soldier ranks for the minotaur to slaughter progressively. Like having to slaughter every normal unit before being able to slaughter Thesee's second in comands, then him. Either way, gg! :)"},{"author_name":"Si1ver","author_uid":"44958","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:40pm","epoch":1418139300,"text":"Minotaur is great"},{"author_name":"TiagoJDFerreira","author_uid":"45461","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:02pm","epoch":1418140620,"text":"@gebirgsbaerbel thanks for the comment. The character that hurts you is Thesee, the blue guy with the sword. I tried making him red, but then it looked like a mighty warrior wearing a red skirt. Not that I have anything agains men wearing red skirts, but I don't think that look went well with the rest of the theme. I am open to suggestions to improve Thesee's visibility ^^"},{"author_name":"Ulydev","author_uid":"43753","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1418141820,"text":"Awesome game !

I quite like how you only need to touch the enemies to kill them (don't tell my psychiatrist, alright?) The game is quite simple but the fast pace keeps it from getting boring in my opinion.
