Dink Smallwood HD App Reviews

I dont remember Dink being so slow? Leveling is nothing short of tedious. You begin almost powerless and die if a beetle sneezes in you general direction, and finding money to buy the one and only Long Sword is absurdly difficult. That is if you dont buy anything to heal you. There are very few quests, and I am currently running in circles grinding away killing bugs. The save portals are few and far between and the Quick Save function serves no purpose at all. It saves nothing. Normally a game this flawed would deserve no more than 2 stars, but I gave 4 because its a classic. But somehow the developers failed to hit the target by a great margin. I hope they will update Dink soon with some fixes that will make this more than a nostalgic novelty, and an actually fun, playable game.

The only thing this game has is its nostalgia factor. If youre not a fan of the original, do yourself a favor and skip this.

Fun game with nice retro style.

This man is garbage. The only thing he has going for him is his faulted one star reviews. Do not buy this man.

I played it on the pc and remember how fun it was and it has translated very well onto the iPhone. I cant wait for the d-mods to come available. Thanks for the great port!

Navigation is awful. Graphics not bad but the screen moves is blocks of territory when you reach the edge and its really annoying. Got bored and stuck after 20 minutes. Spend another week of dev. making this fow better and youll have a good game.

Dink Smallwood is the definition of a cult classic RPG. It has been out 13 years and people continue to play it and expand in it using the games toolkit. The sarcastic humor is still refreshing after all this time. This is one of the better engine ports I have seen, and it translates well to Apple devices. That said, a few minor issues. The navigation is flawed, the directional keypad is just a little too small on the IPhone, and the swipe controls are so sensitive they are useless. Also, one of the great things about this game is the community content. The ability to load and play DMods would be very much appreciated.

I was deeply annoyed to discover that when you die you cant go back to the latest autosave but instead have to go back to the last manual save point, which for me was two days ago. Im just not sure I want to go back and do that stuff again. I cant say I much enjoyed the humor either. If childish awkwardness and mildly graphic wife beating are your cup of tea, you might like this. For me I found the clumsy attempts at humor, especially with regards to women, off-putting. The rivalry with the other village oaf was amusing, though.

This app gives me great memories of college when I first played it. Snarky humor with a Diablo-esque feel. Would give it five stars but the Furball D-mod is extremely buggy. The main game is still exceptional!

I played this game long time ago on PC and now play it again on iPad. A wonderful game. The bug is fixed. Thanks! I wonder if more add ons can be included or added in the future.

Im having a great time playing this game. However, its frustrating because occasionally Dink get stuck "in between screens"! I dont know how else to describe it. Sometimes he wont budge and other times I can walk him around but he encounters obstacles obviously from another screen. Weird. I tried turning the game off and returning to it but he always remains stuck. I have to reload a previously saved game which is annoying since the save machines are not so close and I havent always recently saved. Please fix this!

If you played it in the PC you will love it and forget the terrible implementation of the controls. But that is the major problem with all apps and just a touch screen. If you have never played it, look elsewhere for you "tap" type games.

This app is great there are two great things I see in it there is the awesome old style old action rpg. And then there are d-mods I suggest going to dink network and download the dinky dimension series

This is a great throwback, well worth the money, and hours of play.

Great rendition of the original game! Ive had some very frustrating issues with the controls, however (iPhone 4, current iOS). Its hard to control Dink, sometimes going to another screen or between objects. Needs a few bug fixes that way. I know its not easy to do, but hope you will. Thanks!

Fix controls and its hard for meh to read the words. What do I do after I hav explored the town of Terris?! Where is the little girl?! Help!!! Stuck!!

this action pact game is amazing! Well worth the $$

I cant get enough of this game, I played it constantly in the car and am playing it right now!

It is quite humorous, and fun to play.

I remember a long time ago playing the story and also tried to make a dmod. Its a good, fun rpg. I cant stand the controls for some reason though. Not like the old fashioned keystrokes.
