Dink finds a new adventure on the secret beach where he went to in the original game.

Storyline: Simple, yet well worked out.

Map and graphics: Nothing new, but everything is well done.

Music: Very good indeed. The birds on the background add a nice touch.

Good: The humour is very good. The flying spell is nicely down. The fights are well worked out: you don't think you are going to make it, but then you see some goodies, give it a try, and it turns out you can win after all. Very well done.

Not so good: There is an irritating noise in the bird sounds, like an old gramophone-record that has a scratch. The place where you use the last bomb doesn't give you enough room to backup, so you sustain damage. Some small hardness errors, mostly with trees. You get bored by walking back and forth to get yet another bomb. I hated the end. I find it totally out of place and it left me disillusioned; it was like a good movie with a very bad ending that casts its shadow so that the whole movie all of a sudden looses it's charm.

Overall: The D-mod is good, but the end really spoils everything.

Remark: If it wasn't for the terrible end, I would rate this one much higher.

Fit for: If you don't mind walking a couple of miles and can handle a very bad ending (well, perhaps you like it!) download this one, because the rest of the D-mod is good.
