Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. This isn't a game; it's a digital sticker book that moves. I understand that kids like axolotls right now, but that’s no excuse for such a shallow experience. The movement is floaty—and not in a 'good underwater physics' way, but in a 'badly coded' way. There is no sense of momentum or weight.
The progression is nonexistent. You collect coins to buy hats. That’s it. For someone who has been gaming for four decades, this represents the worst of the mobile market: taking a trendy mascot and wrapping it in a template that probably took a weekend to build. It’s colorful and it works, but it has no soul and certainly no replay value for anyone over the age of six.
