I haven't been here for so long time. Just some months, so I'm not so familiar with Wesley's D-Mods. This D-Mod was created for the failure contest. When Wesley said on the board that he would also join the contest, I didn't think so much of it. But little later Joshriot said "am i the only one who cares that WESLEY MADE ANOTHER DMOD?!?!@? this is monumental!". It was then my curiosity for this D-Mod grown. If Wesley was so great on D-Mod making as Joshriot says, I didn't think of my D-Mod would stand a chance against it. Now when I've played it I can see how experienced Wesley is.

Good aspects:
My first try on this D-Mod I got stuck, and didn't know what to do, so I left it for a while. Later I wanted to try it again, it was then I realised how clever this D-Mod really is. The screens are very beautiful and well made. This D-Mod have some excellent touches. I really, really liked the warp stone! It's a thing all D-Mod's should have
The ducks were very cool, I liked their new attack. The music fitted the situations some times. But in some places, like the forbidden forest, I didn't think the music fitted at all. Thank's to the forests well-made screens it was good anyway. The end-boss is very hard - until you realise how to kill him One thing that I really liked was the chests that needed keys, who leave a chest unlocked? When I had completed this D-Mod I wanted to have a look in the readme file. Which don't exist. Instead Wesley have made an amazing manual, including a map, cheats, hints, and walktrough! I can see Wesley put some time on making this D-Mod, it's a very good D-Mod!

Bad aspects:
I found some hardness bugs, I could walk trough some of the trees. Some of the signs isn't scripted? I found a couple I couldn't "talk" to.
I did find a lot of items, like mushrooms, but I couldn't use them anywhere(maybe a secret?) I bought a special potion for 300 gold in the store, hoping it would restore more life or increase my strenght but I couldn't use it As I said above, some of the music didn't fit the situations, but it was just on one or two places. It's not much talking in this D-Mod, the most of the people you meet didn't want to talk very much.

Overall:
This is a really cool D-Mod (Don't we all love to kill ducks? ).
I don't know which of the failure D-Mods that I like the most. Either this one or Sabretrouts "The Basilisk Smile". Both are very good and high quality D-Mods. This took me about a hour to complete, a hour of lots of fun I recommend this D-Mod for all who likes Dink Smallwood.
Good work Wesley, I hope you'll make more D-Mods! (Sorry for my bad spelling and bad grammar by the way).
