Dinsun Review
I’ve seen some lazy games in my forty years, but Lifting Hero is in a league of its own. It’s not even a game; it’s a repetitive stress injury waiting to happen. You tap the screen. That’s it. You tap to lift a pencil, then you tap to lift a weight, then you tap to lift a house. There is no strategy, no skill, and no reason to keep going other than to see the character model get hilariously out of proportion.
The 'value proposition' is laughable—they actually have the audacity to charge $12.99 for an 'Auto Click' feature. They are literally selling you a way to *not* play their game because even they know the 'gameplay' is unbearable. It’s a cynical, predatory piece of software designed to prey on children’s love of big numbers and flashy colors. Avoid it like a gym on January 1st.
