Dinsun Review
I'm getting too old for 'twitch' games, but See/Saw managed to pull me in with its 'one more try' philosophy. It’s a platformer where you don't even have a jump button—you just move left and right, letting momentum and gravity do the rest. It reminds me of the old Flash games from the early 2000s: simple, punishing, and respectful of your time.
It’s not for everyone. If you get frustrated by dying fifty times on one level, stay far away. But there is a mechanical purity here that I appreciate. No story, no fluff, just you against a set of spikes. It’s a bit lean on content, and the aesthetic is 'indie-cliché,' but the gameplay is tight as a drum.
