Dinsun Review
Factory automation games usually fall into two camps: over-engineered spreadsheets or overly simplistic casual games. Rocknor lands in a nice middle ground. Setting up conveyor lines, timing dough fryers, and routing glaze splitters forces you to actually think three moves ahead. When a complex line finally runs without clogging, it gives you that genuine sensation of accomplishment that's missing from most brain-less mobile puzzles.
That said, the difficulty curve is uneven. You go from basic routing straight into convoluted spatial gymnastics within a few stages. The visual aesthetic is plain and function-first, which doesn't bother me, but won't impress anyone looking for eye candy. It's a clean, honest puzzle title that respects your intelligence, even if it gets frustrating in later stages.
