About the Game

Wink takes inspiration from Gameboy classics like Super Mario Land 2 and Link’s Awakening, but it's taking that inspiration and running with it. It has been described as a “cross between Megaman and Kirby”. Regardless of the comparisons, Wink has its own personality and a crazy little world to explore all its own
