Minter's Minotaur marauds onto iPhone

Hoofer it up.

Jeff Minter's wacky new creation Solar Minotaur Rescue Frenzy has been released on the App Store.

It's designed for both iPhone and iPad and is compatible with 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (3rd/4th gen) devices.

Up to four people can play simultaneously on iPad - a number that's halved on iPhone.
