Donut Dodo is a fast-paced arcade platformer inspired by the golden age of coin-op classics from Namco and Nintendo.
What started as a personal love letter to those early games gradually evolved into a fully fledged arcade-style experience for modern systems.
For the Nintendo 64 version, the game was rebuilt from scratch in C to run on original hardware, staying true to the spirit of classic “home conversions,” while adding new modes and features.
It’s about creating the kind of game that once sparked the desire to become a developer in the first place, now coming home to the systems that inspired it.
If that idea resonates with you, I’d love for you to be part of it. Let’s bring Donut Dodo home.
What better day to announce Donut Dodo FANTASTICO than on National Donut Day?
Billy Burns is back - alongside the whole sweet-toothed crew - for another round of retro arcade madness, this time introducing Dodo Junior at the vintage funfair!
Expect all the skill-based platforming you loved from the first game, now with new stages, mechanics, secrets… and yes, Stinky the rogue toilet is back too!

Donut Dodo is a lighthearted original arcade game, reminiscent of classics from the early 80s. The game takes its inspiration from titles such as Donkey Kong (Jr), Lode Runner, Jumpman and Space Panic.
Importantly, the game plays as we fondly remember the classics, but without the frustrations: forgiving hitboxes, smoother gameplay, better controls...
The game:
The player controls Baker Billy Burns, who’s donuts have been nicked and scattered across several levels, by the one and only Donut Dodo.
In order to advance to the next stage, the player needs to collect all the remaining donuts. To do so, enemies and traps need to be carefully avoided, by jumping, running and climbing ladders or ropes.
Bonus points are awarded for collecting donuts in a certain order and for finishing each stage as fast as possible. Timed bonus collectibles also appear for extra points.

Game: You pilot an old heli which may not look airworthy, but its firepower is nothing short of mind-numbing. Just as well, since you are about to meet fierce opposition. Lacking funds and technological advances, the enemy knows no limits in creative weapon design, from heat seeking sheep missiles to coal powered tanks.
After mowing down an unsuspecting enemy, you’ll need to act fast before reinforcements arrive: Hook up any plutonium stocks or nukes to the chopper and make your way to the level exit, where Fernando will be waiting to assist with extraction. Then push on to the next zone
This is easier said than done, since fuel consumption and steering will suffer with the added weight. Making good use of gas stations, power-ups and short cuts will be vital in succeeding in your mission to save the world.Sir Lovelot - Launch Trailer - Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Atari VCS, Windows PCpixel games SARL-S2021-01-30 | #Xbox #PS5 #Switch #Steam #PS4 #AtariVCS Sir Lovelot is on a quest to find the love of his life.

The game boasts over 40 hand-crafted levels of platforming goodness, from rope climbing and wall sliding to high jumping and water diving. Sir Lovelot can hold his breath really really long!
