When Dink catches his first Blue Dory fish, if he eats it, the game freezes. Dink cannot move. If Dink leaves the screen with the pond, then comes back and catches another Blue Dory, then Dink can eat the second fish and game play continues.

Sorry, I'm unable to reproduce that one. Maybe you tried to do things too quickly, and you interrupted an animation that was supposed to take place as soon as Dink had caught his first Blue Dory fish? Is there anything else you can tell me about when this "lockup" happened?

Randomly, with no noticeable pattern, if Dink tries to push closed (push east) the stone gate in the village, game play freezes, forcing a manual reboot from the previous save. If Dink is instructed to be sure to push the stone gate closed, then it works as expected and game play continues.

Hmmm. I cannot reproduce this one either. Maybe you needed to wait for an animation to be complete (such as the little moggle teleporting away) or the same little guy giving instructions?

I know that sometimes I can get past problems in Dink game play by just not trying to rush things.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 for all of my Dink game play and most of the testing I do for my dmods.


I like this game!

That's great to hear. I'm pleased to learn that you enjoy it.
According to Silberfarben's review of the 1.00 version, though, he said he had trouble defeating "the final boss", because I made him too hard to defeat. Did you have that trouble too? Do you think I should I include an easy mode for the last battle? I found that if I made sure that I had "leveled up" Dink as much as I could and if I followed the techniques for defeating "the final boss" that I detailed in walkthrough.html that I could be victorious every time. How did you do?
