Dinsun Review
I’ll admit, the art style here is genuinely pleasant. It has a hand-drawn look that reminds me of quality children's books from my own youth. As an interactive story, it does a decent job of making the kid feel like they’re part of Pango’s world.
However, I ran into some bugs that shouldn't be in a premium app. There's a section with a vacuum cleaner that is frustratingly slow, and another where a character just walks in place instead of exiting. That’s sloppy. Also, for the price, it’s incredibly short. You’ll be through the whole 'adventure' in twenty minutes. It’s a 55—it has charm and a good heart, but the technical issues and the lack of content make it hard to recommend over a real physical book. It’s a 55. Fix the bugs and add more dreams, and we can talk higher.
