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

A delightful new puzzle game has arrived on Android, and it's called Mino. This charming match-3 puzzler offers a unique twist on the genre's familiar mechanics. Just like other games in its category, Mino challenges you to match three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board. However, there's an exciting twist that sets it apart!

Mino Needs You to Be Stable

In Mino, balance is the key to success. As you make matches, you must also ensure the board remains stable. If you're not careful, things can quickly get out of hand.

You'll place Minos on the board, create matches, and aim to keep the game going as long as possible. But be aware—every move you make causes the board to tilt. If you're not strategic, your Minos might slide off the board, ending your game prematurely. Therefore, you need to consider how your placements impact the board's balance alongside making matches.

Time is always ticking in Mino, but power-ups are available to assist you. You can clear entire columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino that matches with any piece. Upgrading these power-ups enhances your chances of surviving longer and achieving a higher score. Additionally, the game allows you to unlock and upgrade various Minos, which can boost your in-game earnings.

Who Are These Minos?

The developers at Otori Studios seem to have drawn inspiration from Minions when creating the Minos. These creatures reminded me of the iconic yellow, pill-shaped characters, though Minos come in an array of vibrant colors. Take a look at them and decide for yourself whether you see the resemblance!

Mino is a fun game that introduces a fresh concept with a decent level of challenge. Its playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos give the game a toy-like charm. I was particularly fond of these little creatures, with their cute spikes and adorable stubby tails.

You can explore Mino on the Google Play Store. It's free to play and available globally right now.
