Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

A Slight Chance of Sawblades is a brilliant, high-speed arcade game that thrives on pure, unadulterated tension. The premise is as simple as it gets: you are a tiny character in a room, and sawblades are falling from the sky. Your goal is to dodge them for as long as possible. It sounds easy, but the speed and frequency of the blades ramp up so quickly that it becomes a frantic ballet of precision movement.

The 'Slight Chance' title is a perfect bit of dark humor—the chance of sawblades is actually 100%, and they are everywhere. The game uses a charming pixel-art style and a high-energy soundtrack that keeps the adrenaline pumping. It’s the perfect 'pick-up-and-play' game for a 5-minute break, but be warned: the desire to beat your previous high score is incredibly strong. It’s a masterclass in minimalist arcade design that proves you don't need complex mechanics to create a deeply engaging experience.

Literally AMAZING!!!
Mon Jul 24 2023 RunRunRun150

I just got this game and already felt the need to write a review. This game is AMAZING! The music is amazing, the controls are nice, and it just feels SO addictive! This is not your average platformer. This game puts you in a square, where you use buttons and jump over sawblades. I know what your thinking, “Isn’t that boring?” Well, actually its VERY addictive. Reader, go ahead and give this game a shot! And developer, I would like if you reply to this, because it just makes me feel good when I see a developer respond to my reviews. Once again, this game is pure awesomeness!!! Keep the sawblades coming! - RunRunRun150 Update: Its been a while since I wrote this review and yet im still dodging sawblades to this day. Today I decided to play again after hanging out with my family and was amazed to see that you have now added unlockable BACKGROUNDS!!! This is actually a big step for the game for you guys to add that! After calming down a bit, I started forming a suggestion of my own… What if you added… UNLOCKABLE FONTS!! So you know how when your in the middle of a round you see that big number that tells you what your score is currently?Unlockable fonts have the ability to change the style of that number, for example: Cursive, A different pixel style, and more! Follow up suggestion: What if in the unlockable section, for 100 points every time you could DRAW YOUR OWN SAWBLADES!! That would be cool! If you could add at least one of these that would be amazing! Keep up the good work! Dodging sawblades 24/7 - RunRunRun150

Landscape buttons
Sat Jan 28 2023 App_Addict101

Game is super addicting! Love that you have landscape mode as an option but 3 things would make it better. 1. Please make the arrows and jump button bigger while in landscape (they are way too small as is) 2. Make landscape mode happen automatically if you turn your phone sideways instead of activating it in the settings 3. Make the gameplay area screen bigger (zoom in more) while in landscape mode UPDATE: Thanks for the quick fixes to our reviews! Definitely makes the game much more enjoyable. Also happy to be able to use my backbone(iPhone) and ps4 controller (iPad Pro). It would be cool if each character had some sort of power up/skill. Like, one can do a wall jump, one can triple jump, one has an extra life but cannot double jump, invisible for 3 seconds if you clear 3 saws, faster movement, ability to slam down to ground. Or just add power ups you can buy with coins and can bring 1-3 with you that fall down with the saws randomly. Some examples: Shield, triple jump, slow motion, heart. This would add to the experience! You could also have 2 game modes/ leaderboards. Original and Arcade (w/ power ups)

Worthy challenge
Sat Oct 28 2023 jcnitz

It’s a simple challenge, and becoming more skilled is rewarding. I just somehow was awarded/discovered a new hard mode which has made me feel very accomplished! The new mode blows my mind, because it still works, like I still intuitively know when I will live and die based on my jump! I usually struggle with getting addicted to video games, but for this game it didn’t happen which is a good thing. Major draw back is that tickets are earned in a linear fashion. Even if you get higher scores you still get the same number of tickets. Even the hard mode has the same number of tickets. But unlocking stuff is just for looks so it’s not too important.

Average Score Rates idea

I love the game, I play it to ease my mind actually. And it’s super fun! I was thinking that it would be cool if there was an average calculator. So every time you play your score affects your average. I play a lot of games and get a lot of good scores and a lot of terrible scores. And I think it’s would be cool if you got rewarded some how by getting higher scores even if it’s not a new recorded and get penalized for getting very low scores. And idk if you’d get like in game rewards but at least seeing that number would motivate me to get higher scores. Because it’s not so often that I beat my high score. But this way you still have something to work on while your playing.

Probably the best!

I absolutely love this game and was first introduced late 2022/early 2023 but never really played it bc I had no reason, but a 9 hour flight overseas forced me to open the game and upon initial play I became a little frustrated, but that’s actually good bc most other games that don’t require service are usually super easy off the bat which can lead to boredom quickly. It did take a little bit to get half decent at the game and when I finally mastered the techniques it became extremely addicting. This one of the first mobile games that I’ve actually really enjoyed and I can tell the dev(s) have put hard work to make the game the way it is. Thanks!

Fantastic game! I love it.

I love this game. It is challenging to start and the slow progression is satisfying. With that being said, it needs more features. I would love to know a timeline on when the new features will be coming. I think there is a lot that can be added here. Most simply being a “challenges mode” where goals are based on saws dodged, or special modes like low gravity etc. I also think that you can expand on the gameplay as far as saws. It would be interesting to add power ups like invincibility or super jump etc. Would love to hear what you have planned and by when, considering the game as is, has become very boring

Fun for a while, but too grindy
Fri Jul 28 2023 SeaBrass

I was immediately charmed by the simplicity of the gameplay and graphics, and how when you successfully jump over multiple blades it gives buenos points. Coupled with the 5-second limited ads, and I loved it. However, you don’t get many spendable coins per match—sometimes none, depending on how quickly you die. This didn’t seem like much of an issue at first, when a new character is 10 coins and new blades/backgrounds are 50. But then you find out that the price increases with each unlock, and it immediately feels frustrating and grindy. If buying the game meant I got coins faster or it took away the increasing cost, I’d jump on it.

speechless, no words can express

I don’t have much to say of this game because this game is incredible. I love the game play, animation and the concept of the game. It’s so addicting in the good way and it’s very fun to play when you’re bored. Ever since I downloaded this game I haven’t been bored since. The only object I would change in that game would be the fact that we can’t choose the characters, sawblade and background . To buy customization it’s random, which some would love but I would love it if we could chose and trade with other people around the world. Other than that this game is amazing definitely recommend.
