Dinsun Review
We’ve officially reached the bottom of the barrel with this one. Smash Master is the kind of game that shouldn't exist behind a price tag. It’s a tech demo at best. You swipe, things break, a number goes up. There is no nuance, no real physics-based puzzle solving, and certainly no reason to keep playing after the first level.
The visuals are generic 3D assets that look like they were bought in a bulk pack. The 'satisfying' sound effects are repetitive and grating. I’ve seen more depth in a game of Pong. It’s a dopamine trap for people with the attention span of a fruit fly. I’m 40 years old; I don't have time for games that offer zero challenge and zero creativity. If you want to smash things, go into your garage and break some old boxes. It’ll be more productive and probably have better physics.
