Dinsun Review

I’ve seen this song and dance a thousand times. You take a cute animal, put it in a precarious situation, and call it a game. As a gamer who’s been around since the arcade days, I need more than a 'meow' to keep me interested. The puzzles here are rudimentary at best. You spend most of your time waiting for physics to settle or doing chores that the game considers 'gameplay.' It feels more like a tech demo for touch sensitivity than a fully realized experience.

The difficulty curve is non-existent for the first half, and when it does spike, it’s usually due to finicky controls rather than clever design. It’s functional, sure, but in a market saturated with physics puzzles, there is absolutely nothing here that stands out. It's the kind of experience that occupies your hands but leaves your brain completely idle. If you're over the age of ten, you'll likely find the whole affair patronizing.
