Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I’m going to be brief because the developer was clearly brief when making this. Stimmy Shapes is not a game. It is a digital toy that belongs in a toddler’s hands or perhaps as a background element at a low-budget rave. You touch the screen, a circle glows. You drag a square, it turns blue. That’s it.
There is no depth, no progression, and no point. I understand the 'sensory' angle, but as a gamer, I look for systems to master or stories to experience. This has neither. It’s the kind of thing that comes pre-installed on a display phone at a mall. Calling it a 'game' is an insult to the medium. If you need to fidget, buy a real fidget spinner. At least that doesn't need a charging cable.
