Dinsun Review
If you've played 'Water Sort,' you've played this. Soda Sort Puzzle is part of that wave of hyper-casual games that aren't really games so much as they are digital fidget spinners. The 'logic' involved is incredibly basic—you’re essentially just moving blocks of color back and forth until they fit. There’s no pressure, no stakes, and very little satisfaction upon completion.
It’s also riddled with ads. Every two or three levels, you’re hit with a 30-second commercial for some other junk game. It breaks any flow the game might have managed to build. The visuals are functional but completely devoid of soul. It’s the kind of thing people play on the bus because they’re bored, not because it’s a good game. I’ve seen better puzzles on the back of cereal boxes.
