A fresh and delightful puzzle game named Mino has just hit the Android platform, offering a twist on the classic match-3 genre. In Mino, developed by Otori Studios, your objective is to match three or more identical pieces, much like in other games of its kind. However, what sets Mino apart is its unique challenge: maintaining the stability of the game board.
Mino Needs You to Be Stable
Balance plays a crucial role in Mino. As you engage in matching the colorful Minos, you must also ensure the board remains stable. Each move you make causes the board to tilt, and if you're not careful, your Minos might slide off, abruptly ending your game. This adds an extra layer of strategy as you need to consider the impact of your placements on the board's balance.
Time is ticking in Mino, but fear not—power-ups are at your disposal to aid your progress. You can clear entire columns, deploy rockets to stabilize the board, and utilize wildcard Minos that can match with any piece. Enhancing these power-ups can significantly increase your chances of achieving a high score and prolonging your gameplay. Additionally, you have the opportunity to unlock and upgrade various Minos, which can boost your in-game earnings.
Who Are These Minos?
The Minos in the game bear a striking resemblance to Minions, those beloved yellow, pill-shaped creatures, albeit in a spectrum of colors. Otori Studios has crafted these Minos with a playful and colorful aesthetic, featuring tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails, contributing to the game's toy-like charm. Take a peek at them in the video below and decide for yourself if you see the resemblance!
Mino combines a fresh concept with a decent challenge, all wrapped in a visually appealing package. Its vibrant and playful art style, along with the charming monster-like Minos, make it an engaging experience. You can dive into the fun on the Google Play Store, where Mino is available for free and accessible globally.
