Dinsun Review
I’m tired of these games claiming to be 'brain puzzles' when they're actually just 'guess what the developer was thinking' games. There is no consistent logic here. The solutions are often completely arbitrary, designed specifically to make you fail so you'll watch an ad for a hint. That isn't clever design; it’s a dark pattern. The humor is juvenile at best, and the puzzles feel like they were put together in an afternoon.
If I'm going to play a puzzle game, I want a system I can master. Here, the 'mechanic' is just clicking things until the game decides you've found the 'funny' solution. It’s a low-effort production that tries to ride the trend of 'brain teaser' apps that are anything but teasing. It’s more of a test of patience than a test of intellect.
