Dinsun Review
I actually enjoyed the first 50 levels of this. The 'replacement' mechanic—where pulling a cereal box off the shelf immediately brings the one behind it forward—is a clever touch that prevents you from getting stuck as often as in other matching games. It’s got a satisfying 'closet organization' vibe that works well for a quick session.
However, the monetization eventually ruins it. By level 100, the game introduces 'locked boxes' that require an ad to open. There are no matches to be made without opening them, meaning you are literally forced to watch a 30-second ad just to continue playing a single level. Even if you pay to 'remove ads,' these 'rewarded' ads remain. It’s a cynical way to treat players. It’s a shame because the core sorting logic is actually quite polished, but the greed of the developers eventually makes the game unplayable.
