Two characters, Stinky and Waggle, explain before the game starts, the new things in this D-mod. The savebot has changed, the stats have changed – attack is now strength, deffence is endurance and magic essance. You can choose two stats for leveling up.

Storyline: Dink is asked to go see Magdalena, a pregnant woman. She is very ill and can only be saved if Dink finds her a certain flower.

Map and graphics: The map is done nicely. There are some new graphics, such as the status bar (partly), the savebot, a flower, Magdalena. The purple bars on the sides of the status bar do not look very nice, besides that, it distracts the attention from the game. The savebot is done extremely well, and looks very good.

Music: Fair.

Good: The interaction with the sprites is real good, and they all have a different, interesting, story to tell - such as the gossip lady. The beginning of the story is real good, and the quest is somewhat fairytale like.

Not so good: There are no borders on several screens, a thing that is always very annoying. The bonca is way to strong and before you have levelled up enough to defeat him, you have to spend a very long time killing loads of enemies - so cheat is the only option. The end is rather disappointing. Altough it is well explained why the end is that way, and although it is a demo, with the same effort the author took to script the end, he could have scripted an extra script for Magdalena or the doctor to make it a decent end.
Although the gossip lady indeed mentions something about a war going on, no other remark is made about that and the story is not about that war at all - nor a lake.

Overall: A very nice D-mod, with a bit disappointing ending.

Fit for: Anyone who is in for another one of Dink’s adventures.

A demo with a number of quests in it. Some new graphics (and the promise of more on the way - I should know I've done them )

Dink has to find a flower to save a pregnant woman, along the way he has to find other things.

Graphics: A few new ones... hopefully some more on the way.

Map: well done for the quests. Nice decoration in spots.

Music: Most of it seemed to fit the piece.

Just a Demo... come on with the final one!

It's a demo, but there are quite a few quests you can finish. A nice new save machine graphics. Most of the quests are not that special but nicely done. It IS better than many short dmods.

The only down side for me is that I expected to see a dmod with lots of different graphics and dramatic quest from the description, the name of the dmod, and the title screen! But in this demo, it looks just like an ordinary dmod.

Overall, even if you don't consider it a demo, it is a nice one to play. As a demo, I expected more related to what the description intended to lead you...
