Dinsun Review
I remember playing this on a browser during my lunch break twenty years ago. It was a mindless five-minute diversion then, and itβs even less impressive now. Calling it 'HD' is a stretch; it just looks slightly less pixelated. The gameplay is the definition of shallow: run, jump, tilt, repeat. Thereβs no strategy beyond just grinding for the next upgrade so you can fly ten feet further.
Itβs a 'number go up' simulator masquerading as a game. Once you've seen the three or four stunts available, you've seen everything the game has to offer. In an era of complex mobile experiences, charging money for thisβor even asking for my timeβfeels like a prank. Itβs a pure dopamine trap for the easily amused.
