About Mint
This game tells a story about an alien chasing escaped convict, to take him back to his own planet. The hero alien took form of a toothpaste to balance his body in earth's atmosphere. Mint is appointed to bring back Lugal, an escapee from its home planet. Mint must bring him back before he spread chaos to other planet. Use various skills and techniques to aid you in your quest.
The goal in this game is pretty simple: survive and beat the last boss, a friend will pick you up and go straight home. This game is a generic platformer game where you jump obstacles, and defeating enemies. It has a linear gameplay.
Mint starts in bathroom stage where he first absorbs toothpaste essence and become toothpaste itself.
Mint have 5 basic skills.
Bubble: Shoot bubble from its mouth to attack enemies, this deals small damage and some enemies are immune to this attack.
Pathogen Rod: Summon a healing rod. It will heal mint from damage, and some enemies take continuous damage if they too close, and can be used as weapon to attack by striking it with bubble and virus bomb skill to create an explosion. Some enemies are immune, and some enemies are really vulnerable to this type of attack.
Virus Bomb: Shoot a spherical virus to enemy. It can be combined with bubble to create a larger virus bomb with more damage.
Drone: Deploy drone to aid mint in his duty and fires laser beam. Drone comes with two firing modes: full-auto, and semi-auto.
Gemini: Projects a phantom mirage to aid mint’s duty. It has only 2 skills: bubble, and virus bomb and it skills have different appearance from mint has. Some enemies are more vulnerable to gemini’s skills.
Mothership wrath: Fires two black laser to destroy any enemies near mint with tremendous power. In order to do that, mint have to collect ultimate shard that powers up the ship.
Hidden Skill Planet Plasma: Fires green plasma beam to enemy. It has no limit and can be used whenever player wants. However, it saps away mint’s health as it fires so, mint must use it wisely.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Mint is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is a genuinely made game where you control an alien who decided to transform himself into a blob of toothpaste, and try to capture an escaped prisoner. The game is differentiated from the aforementioned thousands of platformers on Steam by having a number of gimmicks, mostly taking the form of various attacks... this really just makes what should be a simple precision platforming experience into a convoluted mess. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC a…3 found this helpful
this game is mint therefore I approve1 found this helpful
the english translation has some glaring errors and odd grammar, the achievements are broken, you can breeze past enemies for the most part and just bumrush bosses by spamming abilities, sometimes a weird grid flashes into the game ?? got thru it in 20 minutes 💀 the art is nice though
Probably the shortest game ive ever played, the gameplay was repetitive and boring.
I wouldnt recommend Mint Game feels unfinished. lots of unfinished feeling levels with bits of terrain and holes around the place. the art is cool and music is alright but thats about it. all the bosses are cheesable game ended up crashing near the end (i think?) and it didnt save any progress. no idea how to get any achievements.
