How Minimo works, how to ask your AI for what you want, and how to keep a bigger game on track.
Animations
Make things bounce, spin, blink, burst into pieces, and come back together.
Scene transitions
Move between the title, the level, and the game-over screen with a transition instead of a jump cut.
Touch controls
Taps, drags, holds, swipes, and several fingers at once: how a player controls your game on a phone.
Physics and collisions
Falling, jumping, moving, and bumping into things: the simple physics a Minimo game can use.
Sound
Sound effects and music from your own audio files, and beeps, jingles, and short tunes the game makes by itself.
Text and fonts
Scores, timers, and names in a font that suits your game, and why titles and buttons should be pictures instead.
Backgrounds
Colors, painted scenes, and backgrounds that scroll to give a game depth.
Objects on screen
Pictures, emoji, drawings, and text, and the settings every object has: size, turn, mirror, transparency, and which one is in front.
Game feel
Effects and sounds combined for the moments that matter, so every action feels satisfying.
Images for your game
How to ask for pictures that fit together, cut out cleanly, and look right on the screen.
Image editor
Fix a picture yourself in Studio: remove a background, erase, trim, crop, resize, and mirror.
Designs in Studio
Arrange a screen yourself in Studio: move, scale, rotate, line up, reorder, hide, and set the collision boxes of what your AI placed.
Modules
Extra parts of the engine for whole kinds of games: racing on a road, card games, weather, dice, and fire, with leaderboards and playing with friends on pages of their own.
Leaderboards
Tables of best scores that players compete in, for all time or every day, week, month, or year.
Playing with friends
Games friends play together online, each on their own phone: rooms, turns, competitions, and challenges.
