Dinsun Review

I’m usually wary of 'weird for the sake of weird' games, but Feed Me Oil actually has the substance to back up its surreal visuals. The goal is to move a liquid—oil—from point A to point B. It sounds simple, but the physics are remarkably realistic. The oil flows, splashes, and pools just as you’d expect, which makes solving the puzzles feel logical rather than random.

The art style is genuinely creative; the world feels like it’s breathing. And the soundtrack? Emotive piano and jazz? Finally, a mobile game that doesn't have music that sounds like a corrupted greeting card. My only real issue is that some solutions feel a bit finicky—you might have the right idea but need to move a fan by a single pixel to make it work. Still, it’s a high-quality product that stands out in a crowded genre. I'm 40, I don't have time for garbage, and this isn't garbage.

Tips

Efficient Tool Placement

Watch the oil's trajectory before placing all your tools. Often, a single well-placed fan is more effective than three poorly placed ones. Aim for the least number of tools to get a better score.
