The Most Fun I've Ever Had for Free
This game definitely deserves its cult classic status. It's on the shorter side, but what's there is an absolute joy; proof that twelve solid hours of fun is better than 60+ hours of slog. The jokes had me gut-laughing quite a few times. The graphics are charming. The soundtrack is perfectly befitting of the game's age and style. Gameplay mechanics are delightfully simplistic - not heavy with gratuitous complexity or crunch. Overall difficulty (including combat, progression, and what few puzzle-type elements exist) sits right in the sweet zone for a game of this length. Playing with a keyboard feels a little clunky, but thankfully this version of Dink includes serviceable plug-and-play controller support; I played with an eight-button Genesis/Mega Drive style controller and loved every minute. My only gripe is that buttons cannot be re-mapped from within the game itself. And all of this delightfulness was FREE! Do yourself a favor and just try it out. You, like Dink, have nothing to lose.
