Dinsun Review
This game is basically a digital version of 'How many ways can I break this guy's neck?' It is incredibly difficult. The window for a perfect landing is microscopic, and you will spend 90% of your time watching your character flop onto the ground like a sack of potatoes. There’s a certain charm to the ragdoll physics, but it wears thin quickly when you’ve failed the same jump 30 times in a row.
The controls are a bit finicky; sometimes it feels like the game ignores your input, though it’s likely just my timing being off by a millisecond. It’s a very small, focused game. There’s not much to do besides flip, land, and move to the next ledge. It reminds me of the old 'QWOP' style games where the struggle is the point. It’s frustrating, unpolished, and arguably ugly, but there’s a weirdly compelling core that keeps you trying just one more time.
