Get ready to collect photo cards of your favorite idols and solve puzzles
If you’re unaware, SMiniz is SM Entertainment take on the kind of games HYBE made popular, now targeting the mobile gaming space like BTS Island: In the SEOM. Now, this one’s a casual match 3 puzzle title with chibi characters based on SM Entertainment artists like NCT, aespa, and RIIZE members.
Gameplay wise, you’ll solve match-3 puzzles with these characters inspired by 36 artists of your favorite K-pop groups. As I mentioned before, I’m not a big fan of K-pop, but the fact we’ll get to see actual stage costumes and signature choreography motions of idols like Karina excites me a lot, as she’s my favorite.
Overall, I think the game will pop off among the K-pop crowd, especially since it offering 720 high-quality real-life photo cards, along with illustrated versions of your bias. I mean, if I image myself as a K-pop fan, I’ll surely have fun decorating the photo cards and complete my own space for my favorite artists.
