Dinsun Review
The mechanic is as basic as it gets: move pins to untangle ropes. It’s the kind of thing you might find yourself doing with a pair of headphones in real life. It’s satisfying in a tactile way, and the 3D physics are handled reasonably well. It’s a 'clean' puzzle game without much fluff.
However, it lacks any real depth. Once you understand the basic logic of moving the outermost pins first, you can breeze through almost every level. It never truly challenges your spatial reasoning; it just asks for your patience. It’s also infested with ads that break the 'zen' vibe it’s trying to establish. It’s okay for a train ride, but I’d never sit down on my couch specifically to play this.
