Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. This is a breath of fresh air. It’s clearly inspired by 'Machinarium,' and it hits all the right notes. The hand-drawn art is fantastic, and the sound design creates a thick, melancholy atmosphere that's rare for mobile games.
The puzzles are mostly logical, though a few rely on a bit of 'click everything' frustration. It’s a very short game—you’ll be done in 90 minutes—but it’s 90 minutes of genuine quality. It doesn't nag you for money or show you ads. It just tells its story through visuals and leaves you be. I respect that. It's a bit too short for a higher score, but highly recommended for adventure fans.
