'''Minoto''' ([[Naruto|No, not that Minoto]]) is a Japanese artist who makes web-based point-ant-click adventure games and animations in Flash. He began in 2007 with ''Reader's Escape,'' and has gone on to make more than 140. The games are seldom very difficult, but what they lack in difficulty, they make up for with their unique art style and amusing animations. In February 2008, ''Cupid of the Mouse'' was featured on the [http://www.escapegames24.com/ Escape Games 24] blog, bringing Minoto a cult following that has grown ever since.

=== Series tropes include: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Artistic License]]: The games based on folk tales.
* [[Bag of Holding]]: You only have ten inventory slots per game, but you'll be carrying around some things you wouldn't expect to be able to carry. This includes 100-ton weights, sumo wrestlers, life-size lion statues, and even farts!
* [[Big Eater]]: The panda. The only games where it's not eating are the ones where you have to give it something to eat. There are even [http://mac.rash.jp/games/dasyutu/a105/en/index.html two] [http://mac.rash.jp/games/dasyutu/a110/en/index.html games] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120823124529/http://kisekae.180r.com/a001/en/index.html a mini-game] in which this is your ultimate objective.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: But most of the EG24 users agree, that's half the fun of these games.
** [[Word of God]] [http://bartbonte.com/interviews/minoto.html has confirmed] that Minoto uses [[Google|Google Translate]].
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Minoto's first few games were more traditional room escape games. It wasn't until ''Cupid of the Mouse'' that they began to look like they do today.
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: A pistol-packing baby with [[Cool Shades]] who gets into shootouts with police and government agents.
* [[Everythings Better With Monkeys|Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]: A mantra Minoto holds dear. Nearly every game has a monkey in it somewhere.
* [[Everythings Worse With Bears|Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: Completely subverted. Minoto's bears are as friendly as can be.
* [[Filk Song]]: Almost every time a new game comes out, one of the EG24 users (usually Zoz) will write a "song-through" for it.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: A [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] version appears in ''Monkey and Secret Army.''
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Take your pick!
* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: There are rarely any truly villainous characters. The finale to the ''Monkey and Secret Army'' series is a shining example. Even characters who were villainous in the original folk tales are depicted as having a softer side.
** Except the Wicked witch of the west, who isn't the resident [[Cute Witch]] but rather a [[Buffy -Speak|demony witch thing]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: Going through the games, you'll run into [[One Piece|a rubbery boy in a straw hat,]] [[Kung Fu Panda|a martial-artist panda,]] [[Dragonball Z|a boy who gets really strong when his hair turns gold,]] and even [[Sukeban Deka|a tough-looking schoolgirl wielding a yo-yo.]] And ''Moon Princess'' ends with [[The Lord of the Rings|a ring being thrown into a volcano.]]
* [[Soup Cans]]: The nest puzzle in ''Cherry Blossoms.''
* [[Super Zeroes]]: ''Birds Egg 2'' has Uncle using a transformation belt to become...CANDLE MAN!
* [[What Could Have Been]]: EG24 user Prid made a beta for ''Minoto Quest,'' a side-scrolling platformer about the Minoto series, but nothing ever came of it.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?|What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: You may have your doubts once you've seen a woman delivering lunch in a giant wheel made of cats, a girl exiting her house and discovering she's on an airplane in flight, a lizard's tongue changing into flour, or a courtroom with a crab as judge and a chestnut on the jury.
* [[Widget Series]]
