Dinsun Review

I've never understood the appeal of games that play themselves, and Geometry Tower is a prime example of why. It’s a spreadsheet with a laser pointer. You watch a bar fill up, click a button to make the bar fill faster, and repeat until you die of boredom. There is zero tactical thought required—just math. If I wanted to do math, I'd stay at work.

The 'geometry' theme is just a lazy excuse for having no real art assets. Rectangles shooting circles at triangles. It’s minimal to the point of being insulting. For a 40-year-old who grew up when games meant active participation and mastery, this 'idle' trend is a cancer on the industry. It's a psychological trick designed to keep you clicking, not a game designed to be enjoyed.
