Balance the Board in Mino: A Colorful Match-3 Puzzle Game!

A new puzzle game has landed on Android, and it's called Mino—a simple yet adorable match-3 puzzler. Much like other games in the genre, Mino challenges you to match three or more identical pieces to clear them. However, there's a unique twist that sets it apart!

Mino Needs You to Be Stable

Balance is the key in Mino. While you're busy making matches, you must also keep the board stable. If you're not careful, things can spiral out of control quickly.

You place Minos on the board, match them, and keep the game going as long as possible. But every move you make tilts the board. If you're not careful, your Minos could slide right off, ending your run. So, apart from matching them, you also need to consider how your placements affect the board's balance.

Time is always working against you in Mino, but power-ups are there to help. You can clear columns, launch rockets to stabilize the board, and use a wildcard Mino to match with anything. You can also upgrade your power-ups, which gives you a better chance at surviving longer and racking up a high score. The game allows you to unlock and upgrade different Minos to boost your earnings.

Who Are These Minos?

It seems that Otori Studios, the developers, drew inspiration from Minions when creating the Minos. They certainly reminded me of those yellow pill-shaped creatures, except that Minos come in a variety of colors. Take a look at them and decide for yourself whether you agree!

Mino is quite a fun game with a new concept and a decent challenge. Its playful art style and colorful monster-like Minos give off a toy-like feel. I certainly enjoyed these little creatures with their tiny spikes and adorable stubby tails.

You can check out the game on the Google Play Store. It's free to play and is available globally now.
