Dinsun Review
Remember 2014? This game certainly does. Combining Flappy Bird with golf is a decent idea on paper, but in practice, it’s just a recipe for high blood pressure. The physics are intentionally 'wonky,' which is a developer's way of saying they didn't want to balance the difficulty properly. You spend most of your time fighting the controls rather than the course.
The graphics are that generic, flat vector style that was popular a decade ago. It feels dated the moment you open it. There’s no depth here—just a series of increasingly unfair screens that rely on luck as much as skill. I’ve played a lot of 'rage' games, and usually, there’s a sense of satisfaction when you overcome a hurdle. Here, I just felt relief that it was over. It’s a derivative time-sink that offers nothing new to the conversation.
