    But the truth is, Tipping Stars has a very specific audience. If you thought Minis on the Move was an innovative step forward for the series, well, you’re likely to find this follow-up a little disappointing. Ultimately, there’s very little differentiating Tipping Stars from the likes of Mini-Land Mayhem on DS and Minis March Again on DSi. If, however, more of that solid, simple, and fun formula is what you want more of, well—Tipping Stars is just that.

    The puzzle-solving aspect of Tipping Stars is much more involved than a typical puzzle game, and no two solutions are ever the same. This isn’t a full release Nintendo game however, so its length and lack of robust content can be somewhat forgiven. Perhaps the level editor will become this game’s saving grace. If you’re expecting a full Mario, or even a full Nintendo game experience, you’d be better off skipping this game.
