Mint

Mint is a linear platformer about an alien who takes the form of toothpaste to survive in Earth’s atmosphere. You play as Mint, sent to return Lugal, an escaped convict, to their home planet before Lugal spreads chaos to other planets. The goal is to survive and defeat the last boss, after which a friend picks Mint up to go home. The game begins in a bathroom, where Mint absorbs toothpaste essence and becomes toothpaste.

Skills and attacks

Mint has five basic skills to use against enemies:

• Bubble: shoot bubbles from Mint’s mouth to deal small amounts of damage. Some enemies are immune.
• Pathogen Rod: summon a rod that heals Mint. Nearby enemies can take continuous damage, and striking the rod with Bubble or Virus Bomb creates an explosion. Some enemies are immune to this attack, while others are especially vulnerable to it.
• Virus Bomb: shoot a spherical virus at an enemy. Combining it with Bubble creates a larger, more damaging bomb.
• Drone: deploy a drone that fires laser beams in either full-auto or semi-auto mode.
• Gemini: project a phantom mirage that can use Bubble and Virus Bomb. Its skills look different from Mint’s, and some enemies are more vulnerable to Gemini’s attacks.

Other abilities

Mothership Wrath fires two powerful black lasers to destroy enemies near Mint. It requires an ultimate shard to power the ship. The hidden skill Planet Plasma fires a green beam with no use limit, but drains Mint’s health while firing, so you need to use it carefully.
