A delightful new puzzle game has just hit the Android platform, and it's called Mino. This charming match-3 puzzler adds a fresh twist to a familiar genre, engaging players with its adorable design and intriguing gameplay mechanics. In Mino, similar to other games in the genre, you're tasked with matching three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board. But here's where Mino stands out with its unique twist!
Mino Needs You to Be Stable
In Mino, balance is not just a part of the game—it's the core of the challenge. As you focus on making matches, you must also maintain the stability of the board. If you fail to do so, the game can quickly spiral out of control.
You place Minos on the board, match them, and strive to keep the game going as long as possible. However, each move you make causes the board to tilt. If you're not strategic with your placements, your Minos could slide off the board, ending your game prematurely. Thus, while matching is essential, you must also consider how each move affects the board's balance.
Time is always ticking in Mino, but you're not alone in your quest. Power-ups are available to aid you. You can clear columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino that can match with any piece. Upgrading these power-ups enhances your chances of surviving longer and achieving a higher score. Additionally, the game allows you to unlock and upgrade different Minos, boosting your in-game earnings.
Who Are These Minos?
Developed by Otori Studios, the Minos in the game seem to draw inspiration from the beloved Minions. These Minos, however, come in a variety of colors, diverging from the yellow pill-shaped creatures we know. Take a look at them in the video below and see if you agree with the comparison!
Mino offers a fun and challenging experience with its innovative concept and playful art style. The colorful, monster-like Minos add a toy-like charm to the game, with their tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails capturing the hearts of players.
You can download Mino from the Google Play Store, where it's available for free and has been released globally.
