A delightful new puzzle game has just hit the Android scene, and it's called Mino. This charming match-3 puzzler brings a fresh twist to the genre, captivating players with its adorable aesthetics and unique gameplay mechanics. In Mino, your goal is to match three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board, a familiar task for fans of similar games. However, there's an exciting challenge that sets Mino apart from the rest!
Mino Needs You to Be Stable
The key to mastering Mino is maintaining balance. As you work on creating matches, you must also keep the board stable, or risk losing control. The game involves placing Minos on the board, matching them, and keeping the game alive for as long as possible. But here's the twist: each move you make causes the board to tilt. If you're not strategic, your Minos might slide off the board, abruptly ending your run. So, while matching is crucial, you also need to consider how your placements impact the board's balance.
Time is always ticking in Mino, but fear not—power-ups are here to help! You can clear columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino that matches with anything. Plus, you have the opportunity to upgrade these power-ups, enhancing your chances of lasting longer and achieving a higher score. The game also allows you to unlock and upgrade different Minos, which can boost your earnings and add to the fun.
Who Are These Minos?
Otori Studios, the creative minds behind Mino, seem to have drawn inspiration from the beloved Minions when designing these characters. The Minos certainly evoke the charm of those yellow, pill-shaped creatures, though they come in a vibrant array of colors. Take a look at them and see if you agree!
Mino is not just fun but also offers a novel concept with a decent level of challenge. The playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos give the game a delightful, toy-like feel. I couldn't help but be charmed by these little creatures with their tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails.
You can experience Mino for yourself on the Google Play Store. It's free to play and available globally right now. Don't miss out on this engaging puzzle game!
