Storyline: Dink meets his brother Zink, but Zink is killed by a wizard. Dink sets out to revenge Zink. This D-mod is rather straight forward, but since it has some subquests it does not get boring.

Map and graphics: The map is quite empty. No new graphics, except for the item the wizard wants and that graphic looks real crappy.

Music: Fair.

Good: There is humour in this game. The bank is robbed by a wizard: the first time I saw a bank robbery in a D-mod! The end to it is unexpected, and the final end scene turns things around once again.

Not so good: There are several screenlocked screens with enemies after one and other. There is a debug.txt enclosed.

Overall: A straight forward, not to difficult game.

Fit for: If you want to play a little adventure.

Hmm.. 
In "The Tragic Death of Zink Smallwood" Dink find a letter to him, it's from his long lost (twin?)brother. At the same time a bank is robbed by an evil wizard. When the wizard see Zink he kills him as the Smallwoods have a habit of stopping evil magicians. Dink decides that he must vengeance his brother's death.

Bad:
Some things in this dmod was really really annoying. There where lots of hardness and depth-que errors, and almost every person had the yellow text as the creator of the mod was to lazy to change it. The lazyness where also seen at other locations in the game, like the sloppy tile screen and the fact that some wraps had door sound when it made no sense at all. The map was also awfully empty and linear.

The game-play was VERY unbalanced; You could kill every monster with one hit (even the end boss). The fact that the game was made this way on purpose is disturbing.

Good:
The story was interesting even though it could have been made clearer. The very best thing in this mod was the humour. I found myself laughing out loud at quite a few locations. Most of the sprites where scripted (even though there wasn't that many) which is good.
The ending was also great.

Overall:
Funny dmod worth playing! 7/10

This is a bad excuse for a D-Mod. I can't get to the grapes you have to buy probably because of a hardness error or a bug. The storyline sucks, the map is terrible, the graphics are the best dang thing in the mod, the music sucks, and there isn't much to the plot but a little interesting.

Storyline 1.0
Map 0.0
Graphics 10.0
Music 0.0
Plot 5.0

Not recommended for anyone.

This Dmod is mainly about Dink's long lost brother who was "killed" by an evil wizard, and his name is Zink.

Goods: This Dmod had exellent music, some people told me. It has a moderate story line, and I found that everything else was fine.

Bads: . I found quite some humor in it, though not much. Don't go to the guy who sells grapes that you don't want to buy some, because then the computer freezes.

Conclusion: Download this Dmod if you like Dmods that are average, and beeing average is a good thing.

This D-Mod is played out on a horizontal plane, for the most part - it is rarely more than 3 screens high. Play from left to right. There is a little combat, but you'll mostly be talking and walking here. The d-mod is well put together, and entertaining for while it lasts, but it is still very average.
