Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I’ve seen enough minimalist puzzlers to last three lifetimes, and In Sync doesn't do much to justify its existence in a crowded market. The 'hook' is that you move multiple objects at once—a mechanic that was novel back in the Flash era but feels like a chore here. The level design quickly devolves into those annoying 'gotcha' moments where one ball is safe and the other falls into a pit because of a pixel-perfect misalignment.
The lack of personality is striking. I appreciate a clean UI as much as the next guy, but there’s a fine line between 'minimalist' and 'placeholder.' It feels like a tech demo for a movement script rather than a fully realized game. If you're looking for a deep intellectual challenge, you won't find it; you'll just find yourself swiping back and forth until the physics engine decides to cooperate with your intent. It's functional, but entirely forgettable.
