Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Back in my day, a puzzle game tested your brain, not your patience for 30-second unskippable advertisements. Fish Sort Puzzle starts off simple enough—tap a fish, route it to the right tank, clear the board. The colorful aquatic assets and aquatic audio cues are harmless, if generic. For about ten minutes, it serves as a straightforward mind-off distraction.
However, it quickly reveals its true nature as an ad delivery platform disguised as a video game. The board layouts frequently choke your holding slots not through genuine tactical challenge, but to force ad-watches or cash expenditures for extra space and undos. I cannot in good conscience score a game highly when its core design prioritizes monetization traps over organic puzzle solving.
