A fresh and delightful puzzle game has just hit the Android scene: Mino. This charming match-3 puzzler brings a unique twist to the genre, reminiscent of other popular games where you align three or more similar pieces to clear them. However, Mino adds an intriguing challenge that sets it apart!
The key to success in Mino is balance. As you're matching pieces, you're also tasked with keeping the board stable. A single misstep can lead to chaos, as the board tilts with every move you make.
In Mino, you'll place Minos on the board, create matches, and aim to keep the game running as long as possible. But here's the catch: each move you make causes the board to tilt. If you're not strategic, your Minos might slide off, abruptly ending your game. So, while you're focused on matching, you must also consider how your placements impact the board's balance.
With time constantly ticking away, Mino provides power-ups to aid your gameplay. You can clear entire columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, or use a wildcard Mino that matches with any piece. These power-ups can be upgraded, enhancing your chances of lasting longer and achieving a higher score. Additionally, you can unlock and upgrade different Minos, boosting your in-game earnings.
Developed by Otori Studios, Mino's creators seem to have drawn inspiration from Minions for their colorful characters. The Minos, while reminiscent of those yellow, pill-shaped creatures, come in various hues. Take a look at them and see if you spot the resemblance!
Mino offers a fun experience with its innovative concept and engaging challenge. The game's playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos give it a toy-like charm. I was particularly drawn to these adorable creatures with their tiny spikes and cute, stubby tails.
You can dive into Mino on the Google Play Store—it's free to play and available worldwide right now.
