Dinsun Review
Hipster Whale knows how to structure crisp arcade tracking loops, and translating their visual formula into a multi-tiered tower climber works surprisingly well. The jumping physics are immediate, predictable, and clean—which is vital when you're managing tight hazard patterns. It doesn't overcomplicate things with deep loadouts; it relies purely on your layout parsing speed and raw execution. Played completely solo, the loop can eventually slide into a bit of a repetitive grind rhythm, but if you treat it as a casual local multiplayer party experience, it hits its targets square in the center.
