A new puzzle game has landed on Android, and it's called Mino—a simple yet adorable match-3 puzzler. Much like other games in the genre, Mino challenges you to match three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board. But here's the twist that sets Mino apart!
Mino Needs You to Be Stable
Balance is crucial in Mino, and it's this twist that makes the game uniquely challenging. As you're busy making matches, you must also keep the board stable, or things can quickly spiral out of control.
In Mino, you place Minos on the board, match them up, and aim to keep the game going as long as possible. However, every move you make causes the board to tilt. If you're not careful, your Minos could slide off, ending your run. So, in addition to matching them, you need to consider how your placements affect the board's balance.
Time is always ticking in Mino, but don't worry—power-ups are there to help. You can clear columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino that matches with anything. Upgrading these power-ups enhances your chances of surviving longer and achieving a high score. The game also allows you to unlock and upgrade different Minos to boost your earnings.
Who Are These Minos?
It seems that Otori Studios, the developers behind Mino, drew inspiration from Minions when creating the Minos. These creatures certainly reminded me of the yellow, pill-shaped characters, though Minos come in a variety of colors. Take a look at them and see if you agree!
Mino is a fun game with a fresh concept and a decent challenge. Its playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos give the game a toy-like feel. I certainly enjoyed these little creatures with their tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails.
You can check out Mino on the Google Play Store. It's free to play and available globally now.
