Dinsun Review
Now this is more like it. It reminds me of the old games I used to play on the NES—simple controls, but if you miss by a pixel, you're in trouble. The art style is clean and nostalgic, and the soundtrack is actually something I’d listen to outside of the game. It’s challenging without being 'mobile-game unfair.'
There aren't any forced ads, which is a breath of fresh air. It’s just you and the course. It can get frustrating when the physics get a bit 'creative,' but that's part of the charm. My only real complaint is a bug in the upgrade system where you can lose coins if you quit too fast, but the core gameplay is rock solid. It’s a great way to kill twenty minutes.
