The Dink Network

Yes a short piece of work. Not worth bothering with. 6 screens with a tutorial option. I mean, really, what dinker doesn’t know about playing how to move and fight in Dink when they get round to playing a DMOD. Lame and a waster of time.

I wonder why this is called a short adventure, since it looks more like a tutorial to me. A tutorial about the basics of playing Dink Smallwood: how to walk (by using the arrow keys), how to attack (by using Ctrl) and how to go down a hole (just walk to the hole).

There is no storyline, the map consists of six screens, there is no music, the title screen does not even have a title (it is the standard one of Skeleton B) and no conversation but a narrator telling you the abovementioned.

You can choose to skip the tutorial, but then you are stuck on a screen and you can not fight the monster. When you do not skip the tutorial, you can fight the monster, but the monster does not move and after that you are on a screen with no exit.

The author states that the D-mod he wanted to make would be so long he could never finish it, and that is why he made this one. I wish he would have spared himself that trouble too.

Well what can you say , it's a demo.

For as far as I played the game contains 6 screens.
No new music
No new graphics (a nice bloody screen though that deservers +2)

The target of the game is erm... none. (story = none)
You have the choice of taking the tutorial on how to move dink around. (+2)
Then you have to beat the sh*t out of a brown bonca that cannot die.
The game doesn't have a real ending or announcement, you have to make that up for yourself. (-1)

Short, for a first DMOD Demo it's ok so I give it a 3
