Dinsun Review
Calling this a 'game' is a bit of a stretch, and the developer admits as much. It’s a simulation in the purest, most utilitarian sense of the word. You sit in a cockpit, you follow a very specific sequence of engine ignitions, and you try not to flip over while going in a straight line. The physics are undoubtedly accurate—Austin Meyer doesn't miss on that front—but the 'entertainment' value is incredibly low for anyone who isn't an engineering enthusiast.
The visuals are dated, the interface is purely functional, and there’s absolutely no sense of progression outside of mastering a single, very specific task. It’s an interesting curiosity, especially if you followed the real-world Bloodhound project, but as a software product in 2026, it’s a relic. It’s more of a technical white paper with a graphical interface than a racing game.
