Mino: Balance the Board with Colorful Minos in New Match-3 Puzzle!

A delightful new puzzle game has arrived on Android called Mino, a charming and straightforward match-3 puzzler. Similar to other games in its genre, Mino challenges you to match three or more identical pieces to clear them from the board. However, the game introduces an engaging twist that sets it apart!

Mino Needs You to Be Stable

In Mino, balance is not just a feature—it's the core mechanic. As you focus on making matches, you must also ensure the stability of the game board. Fail to maintain this equilibrium, and you might see your game spiral out of control in no time.

You place Minos on the board, match them, and strive to keep the game going as long as possible. Each move you make causes the board to tilt, adding a layer of strategy to your puzzle-solving. If you're not careful, your Minos could slide off the edge, abruptly ending your run. Thus, alongside matching, you need to consider how your placements impact the board's balance.

Time is always ticking in Mino, but don't worry—power-ups are at your disposal to help you out. You can clear columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino that can match with anything. Upgrading these power-ups enhances your chances of surviving longer and achieving a higher score. The game also allows you to unlock and upgrade different Minos, boosting your in-game earnings.

Who Are These Minos?

Otori Studios, the developers behind Mino, seem to have drawn inspiration from Minions when creating these characters. The Minos, with their resemblance to the yellow pill-shaped creatures, come in a variety of colors. Their playful design, complete with tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails, definitely evokes a toy-like charm. Take a look at them in the video below and see if you agree!

Mino is a fun game that introduces a fresh concept with a satisfying challenge. Its playful art style and colorful, monster-like Minos contribute to its toy-like appeal, making it a joy to play. You can download Mino for free from the Google Play Store, as it's now available globally.
