Dinsun Review

I’m sure you’ve seen the 'Doge' being attacked by bees in every second ad on the internet. This is the game. It’s a clever enough concept—drawing lines to block physics-based objects—but it’s buried under so much mobile garbage it’s hard to enjoy. The levels repeat themselves, the physics can be glitchy (lines just clipping through the ground), and the ads are relentless. It’s a game built for the 'app of the week' trend, not for longevity. I’d rather play a real puzzle game like Portal or even a classic Lemmings. At least those had a soul. This is just a revenue-generating tool with a dog’s face on it.

You have 10 seconds to make sure your drawing holds up against the bees' attack. With limited ink and increasingly complex environments featuring lava and spikes, you'll need to think outside the box to keep the dog safe.

Tips

The 'Anchor' Technique

Bees will try to push your drawing away. Always try to wrap part of your line around a fixed object like a rock or the ground to anchor your shield in place.
