Mino: Balance Board, Match Colorful Minos in New Puzzle Game!

A captivating new puzzle game has made its debut on Android, and it's called Mino—a simple yet charming match-3 puzzler. Much like other games in the genre, Mino tasks you with matching three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board. However, there's a unique twist that adds an extra layer of challenge!

Mino Needs You to Be Stable

In Mino, balance is not just a suggestion—it's essential. As you're engaged in matching pieces, you must also maintain the stability of the board to prevent the game from spiraling out of control.

You'll place Minos on the board, align them to create matches, and strive to keep the game going for as long as possible. Each move you make causes the board to tilt, introducing a dynamic element to the gameplay. If you're not vigilant, your Minos might slide off the board, abruptly ending your run. Therefore, alongside matching, you need to strategize your placements to maintain the board's equilibrium.

Time is always ticking in Mino, but don't worry—you have power-ups at your disposal to aid your efforts. You can clear entire columns, deploy rockets to stabilize the board, and utilize wildcard Minos that can match with any piece. Upgrading these power-ups enhances your chances of enduring longer and achieving a higher score. Additionally, the game allows you to unlock and upgrade various Minos, boosting your in-game earnings.

Who Are These Minos?

Otori Studios, the creative minds behind Mino, seem to have drawn inspiration from Minions when designing these adorable creatures. The Minos, reminiscent of the yellow, pill-shaped Minions, come in a delightful array of colors. Check out the video below and see if you agree with the comparison!

Mino is not only fun but also brings a fresh concept with a decent challenge. The game's playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos contribute to its toy-like appeal. I certainly find these little creatures with their tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails quite charming.

You can explore Mino on the Google Play Store, where it's available for free and now accessible globally.
