Everything works directly with your keyboard in the HD web port.
Face your enemy and press Ctrl to swing your sword or fire ranged weapons.
Attacks hit in the direction you're facing. Watch enemy health bars - when it hits zero, they drop.

Press Space on NPCs, barrels, doors, signs, or anything interesting.
Collect gold, potions, and quest items.
Talk to everyone - quests give XP and cash.
Open world: explore, but watch out for enemies stronger than you!
Become a pig-farming legend! Sword, magic, and plenty of sarcasm - save the kingdom in the funniest RPG ever made.
The HD web port sticks to the timeless keyboard setup that made Dink feel so intuitive back in the day. Arrow keys handle all movement - including holding them down to run smoothly across the countryside.
Ctrl serves as your primary action key for swinging weapons, using items, or confirming choices, while Space lets you chat with quirky villagers, inspect suspicious objects, or activate anything interactive in the environment.
Shift triggers whatever magic spell you've currently equipped (mana refills gradually as you explore), and Enter brings up the inventory screen where you can browse and swap gear.
Press M to pull up your map once you find one, and ESC opens the main menu for saving, loading, or tweaking options. For faster traversal on big maps, Tab gives you that handy speed boost exclusive to the HD experience.
Positioning is everything in Dink's battles - most enemies can only strike directly forward, so circling to their side or attacking from above often lets you hit without taking damage.
Always double-check your equipped weapon and magic in the inventory before tough encounters; upgrading gear and leveling up makes a huge difference as monsters get nastier.
Red hearts and blue mana potions scattered around restore health and magic for free, so grab every one you spot during exploration.
Quests usually start with conversations in town, and while the main path is fairly straightforward, you can tackle side tasks in almost any order - talking to every NPC is the best way to unstuck yourself when progress stalls.
With patience and a bit of sarcasm, you'll conquer even the silliest (and deadliest) challenges the kingdom throws at you.
