Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I’ve seen my share of physics puzzlers, and Perchang World is a competent follow-up. It doesn't reinvent the wheel—or the marble, for that matter—but the addition of 'The Narrator' gives it a bit more character than the sterile original. The gizmos like gravity inverters and magnets are implemented well enough, requiring the kind of precise timing that younger players might find frustrating, but I find manageable.
However, it still feels like a 'mobile game' at its core, despite the Apple Arcade polish. The levels are bite-sized, which is fine for a commute, but it lacks the depth of a true system-seller. It’s clean, it’s professional, and it functions exactly as advertised. It won't blow your mind, but it won't waste your time either, provided you have the patience for some trial-and-error physics.
