Dinsun Review
I’ll admit, Dyno captured the feeling of bouldering better than I expected. The focus on momentum and the 'dyno'—that explosive jump—is satisfying when you nail it. It’s a lot more focused than those goofy 'ragdoll' climbers that were popular a few years ago.
However, the touch controls can be a bit finicky. Sometimes you’ll swipe to reach and the game just doesn't register it, sending you falling back to the start. It’s frustrating because the level design is actually quite clever. It’s a bit grindy to unlock new gear, which I could do without, but it’s a solid effort for a mobile sports game. It just needs a bit more polish on the input side.
