Evaluation

Dinky Guardians launched on October 2, 2023. Following launch, the developer (Endless Loop Studios) was quite active, shipping a series of feature patches and bug fixes through November 2023. The last recorded developer communication was the v1.12 patch on November 12, 2023, which added several quality-of-life improvements and fixed a range of bugs. Across the full post-launch period, the developer shipped one major content milestone (the launch itself) and a steady stream of feature patches, but no named expansions, DLC, or additional major content drops beyond launch-window polish updates. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no announced roadmap or future content, and no developer statements indicating ongoing or planned development. The patching activity concentrated entirely within the first six weeks after launch and then stopped entirely — consistent with a developer wrapping up a finished product rather than building toward new content. The developer has not communicated anything since November 12, 2023 — now over two and a half years ago. Given there was never a sustained cadence of post-launch major content releases and no outstanding commitments were ever announced, the game appears to have launched as a complete product and received a standard post-launch polish pass before development concluded.

About this game

⬆️ Clone your first 🐷Dinky, give them 👉orders to help you, Research 🦾Automation Machines, Defend your Colony from the 👿Zumbys, Build a 🚀Rocket, colonize other 🌍Planets and set up supply chains between them!
Play Solo👤 or Co-op👥


Clone the first Dinky and start gathering Food. But Dinkys are not useless, give them some tasks like Gathering Resources or Crafting Objects.
Grow your Colony with the help of Dinkys, Research new Tech and build Automated machines.
Machines are much faster than Dinkys, they require Power instead of Food.


Build a Rocket and launch into outer space to colonize other worlds!
Each world has its own biomes with different resources.
Use Resource Launchers to gather resources in one world and send them to another.
Set up your supply chains between worlds and make sure everything is working at maximum efficiency!


The world is full of dangers, Zumbys spawn at night and the thing they like most to do is eat Dinkys, don't let that happen!
Use Smart Mines or Towers with all kinds of Ammo to keep the Dinkys safe.


The Ultimate Goal

Repopulate the entire galaxy with Dinkys and fully automate everything with Machines so that the Dinkys can live their lives in peace!
