Wink: The Game!

This game is a lot of fun. I can vaguely remember playing the original. The stealth factor over brute force is an attractive gameplay feature. I only played it for a few minutes but I noticed a few interesting things.

I found out by accident that if you throw the torch at the baddies they will burn to death. The choke manuever requires you to first grab, then hit the grab key a second time. I did it right the first few times but then forgot how I did it, lol.

Cool concept. Ending esspecially so.

Fun game...great ending.

Got trapped once past a doorway and threw away my staff by accident (under the closing door) - you'll understand when you play.

Close attacks are best with a staff, you can see the bad guys splat on the screen.

Don't forget, if you can't figure out which way to go...left and right aren't your only options.

nooooo! My guy slid off the shelf thing and now he's down inside the wall and I can't do nythig! I can't even see him!

HeHe, good fun little game, and i liked the different elemental attacks, each were good fun, and behaved differently from the others, making it more special.

Good ending sequence also.

This is a great game, I played it soon after it came out (I think i may have submitted it to JIG then, but meh) and, despite not being all that hard, is just so fun and humorous that you can't not play it again.

And for those having trouble with the Dragon

"D'you want a lift?"

Finally! Somebody posted it! I have mastered it too many times, and the dragon is really not easy. But when i first came out here was no boss!

Really cute. As soon as I saw it, I though, Pintsize (and for those that know what I mean, cheers!)

I found with the dragon, you don't have to jump on its back. Just dodge and shoot :D

omg i need help! im stuck at the place where it says you need a wind staff to go thru in the beginning. WHERE IS THAT STAFF???

Never mind, I found it!

Heres a half walkthrough:

First go to the right and attack the guy and steal his staff.

Then go to the right and jump up on the ledges (not the ones with the hole on the top)

Kill the guy and go through the door, kill the other guys and steal his wind staff.

Then go back through the door that you came through (back to the beginning lvl) and go all the way down and to the right.

Open the door with your new wind staff and continue forward...

THATS ALL I CAN WRITE FOR NOW... HOPE IT HELPS ^_^

I can't find the next staff - I think it's water.

Got right to the end.
Dragon killed me.
How can you get the green health things in the dragon's den?

Friggin' unresponsive keys grumble grumble.

I have a question about the dragon.

I've seen people post about having trouble with the dragon, and I'm wondering if maybe there was a bug in my game, because I'm not much of a gamer and I found the dragon incredibly easy. When he hit me with the fire, I didn't lose any health, but I did lose my weapon. The only thing that made me lose health was getting landed on, but that was easy to dodge. I just ran underneath him, baited him into falling, then blasted him a couple times. Repeat. I did manage to land on his back, but nothing happened. Was I supposed to grab him while I was up there? That just occured to me.

It's like a cute little splinter cell. My favorite move is the neck-snap from the ceiling.

Finally, a game that lets you use those ubiquitous wall torches to your advantage!

With the dragon, I find it very helpful to

press spacebar to step back into the shadows just before he lands on you. If you find a spot where his fire doesn't hit you, you can chip away at his health without having to ride him.

So I have played the game a few more times, for exploration purposes...

In the room before the gem room, after the castle wall, there are platforms going up. When you get to the top, you can go through doors to the outside of the castle:
- If you go down, you can get health on the far right. Just go left to be back out on the castle wall.
- If you go to the far left door (outside: this takes jumping from platforms) you are inthe far right inside. If you carefully jump right, you get on another platform that you can then jump up from and go all the way right. There is a series of platforms going down, far down. At the bottom you will find stealth, and then if you go far left (no enemies) you will find platforms that go up to a health and more stealth.

For the dragon:
- Don't forget that you can shoot up and up diagonally. You get more bang for your buck if you remeber this.
- You don't have to get on the dragon's back. I found getting up high enough onthe platforms to be hard todo without the dragon splatting on you.
- If you do get on his back, you do the choke manuver (press back and A) to make the dragon fall. It really does make the biggest hurt. Out of the wands, I found the lightening to be the strongest, and if I have it while on the dragon, sometimes i still have it when we oth fall, which I then zap the heck out of it. I found this to be the quickest way to kill the dragon.

I found that the character could take some of the torches, but what on earth for?

I think I encountered a bug (like Adam's above)

When I fought the dragon, nothing he did hurt me, not even the crashing-down-on-you attack. It only knocked me over and made me lose my weapon. I wonder why? I just tried it again, and the dragon was able to hurt me this time... oh well...

Awesome Game!
perfect length, great music, challenging boss fight...
I dont have one bad thing to say about it!

got stuck between two doors, needed fire staff, put down wind, went back to get fire, needed wind, went back to get wind, it was gone... two doors and no staffs

I don't like the ending. You do all that stuff just for wink's... dont look if you dont want the ending spoiled

girl friend to crush the princes!!!

Its funny how the Narrator Says "It looks like the other castle, but it isn't" and "Seriously, it's a different t game" Probably this is explaining why this is almost totally like Wink and the princess stealing dragon the other wink game, or at least I think so.

I cant find the wind staff!! Where is it?

=( i cant find any platforms OR the wind staff.a LITTLR help here?!wink is hard.

i climb up the ledges but theres 2 big ones how do i get on top of them?

when you hold an enemy you can't be hurt by staffs

Mojor Glitch

at th begining of the level where you ge the wind staff
in that room walk in and hid on the wall walk for a long time you will eventualy start to run then you will be out of the castle

when you start to run turn back around and go as far as you can your feet will stop. press space bar a couple of times and wink will fall if you can when u fall hold the left arrow and he will get under ground

interesting if you stand at a door way and press jump+up at the same time you go relly high

where is the wind staff i cant find it!

has anyone nnoticed that at the start you can climb on hte palm trees and jump on the roof and if you keep going you get to a stealth entrance!

wheres the wind staff?

You can pick up the torches and burn the bad guys!

where is tha wind staff at?!!

how do you get the windstaff?!!!!

where is the wind staff!?

Most everyone is posting the same complaint.
Someone PLEASE post the spoiler for finding the windstaff.

I got the fire staff in the first room from a hoodley.

In the second room the 2nd guy has a fire staff, no wind staff to be found... exhausted an hour going back and forth trying. Got on the ledge but couldn't get on top of it. Fell onto Hoodley, but didn't break his neck. Is it a bug that in room 2 the guy has a fire staff and not a wind staff???

The plaque on the wall in room 2, has a plaque with an icon that looks like a wind symbol, but I've no idea how to get at it. Being in the shadows nothing works, coming out - nothing works

HELP... I don't want to spend another hour trying to figure this out!!!
