Where can I get some screenshot or info about an old game called Mini Milk?

Question

So my girlfriend has some old video game nostalgia and she wanted to show me some screenshots or video (or play it if possible) about this game she used to play around 20 years ago. She swears it was called "Mini Milk" but we haven't found anything on the web about such a game.

I trust her memory about the name of the game but we don't know who developed it. She says it was an arcade game about "a couple of cute monsters (similar to Pac-Man ghosts but with lighter colors) and I had to get through some levels (from a lower to a higher one) to get them together, and when they got together the game showed a heart on top of them"... We have no idea of why the name was called that :/

Can anyone help us find more information about this game? Alright, thanks for any help.

EDIT:

Alright! Answering as much questions as she can from the link we just got:

Give us the general description of the game and its gameplay.
It looked like a construction that had around 4 levels, like a building seen from the side (unlike Pac-Man and Mrs Pac-Man in which perspective seem to be from above), a couple of cute characters had to get together but one was in the lowest level and one in the highest one. Somehow (though there seem to be no enemies) you had to climb from a level to the next one and when they got together a heart would appear on top of them.

When was the game released / when did you play it?
She was playing it around 1994 but it may be significantly older-we don't know

What platform did you play it on?
It was a cassette for a supposed Vietnamese clone (or other clone) of Nintendo or Super Nintendo bought in the Czech Republic. By the way the cassette had many games (one of them called Mappy), the game in question was only one of many.

If you controlled a character, what did it look like? How did you control it?
You controlled one of the two characters, it looked like a ghost from Pac-Man but with a lighter color. She remembers controlling it with the controller's arrows but she doesn't know if any button pressing was needed.

What was the perspective? Was it top-down, side-scroller, isometric, etc.?
The perspective was from the side but the game play was from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen.

If there were enemies, what did they look like? How were they destroyed?
There were probably no enemies but she thinks maybe you had to avoid falling on some liquid that was below the lowest level

If there were puzzles or riddles, can you describe them?
There weren't, it was about the ability to move.

Do you remember anything about how the game box looked, how the title screen looked?
Unfortunately not...

Answer

This sounds very much like Nuts & Milk, originally released in 1984. Here's a video of gameplay from the NES version:

If you search for that name online you can find a lot of information about it, including videos and walkthroughs. I've also read there are playable version available in the Nintendo Virtual Console and that there's even a mobile version, but I couldn't find any more information about those.
