Dinsun Review
Dinsun here, and I'm tired. I'm tired of games that think being 'tricky' is the same as being well-designed. Brain Boom is part of that wave of mobile titles that presents a logic puzzle, only to tell you the answer is something completely nonsensical like 'tap the sun in the background.' It's not a test of intelligence; it's a test of how much time you're willing to waste tapping every pixel on the screen. The UI is cluttered, the 'plants for hints' mechanic is a blatant engagement trap, and the whole experience feels like it was designed by a marketing committee rather than a game designer. It’s cheap, cynical, and ultimately hollow.
