Play Overview
Donut Dodo (2022) is an old-fashioned running and jumping game. Like games from the 80s arcades, it's intentionally hard and requires practice (and dying a lot) to master. You play a Baker who has to run, jump, and climb to collect all donuts in each level as quickly as you can. There are just five tough levels, each with online high-score tables.
Play involves using the responsive moving and jumping controls to find a quick route around the level to collect the donuts. You need to think ahead while also keeping reactions sharp for all manner of enemies.
The result is a loving recreation of the sort of game found in the 80s or on the Amiga or Atari ST, right down to the screen shape and pixel-perfect 16-colour graphics.
Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Donut Dodo 2 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 7 months ago.
