Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. This is a quintessential 'commuter game.' The core mechanic is clever—place a block and watch it spread like a virus to claim territory. It requires a decent bit of spatial reasoning, which I respect. It’s easy to pick up but actually forces you to think a couple of steps ahead in later levels.
However, the user experience is frankly exhausting. Every two or three levels, you’re hit with a 30-second ad. For a game where levels take 10 seconds to solve, that’s a terrible ratio. It breaks the flow of the puzzle-solving. If this were a premium title without the ad-bloat, I’d be much more inclined to give it a higher score. As it stands, it’s a good idea hampered by greedy distribution.
