Sabertooth Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) Donut Dodo is a new arcade game from Pixel Games, developer of Sir Lovelot and Sigi: A Fart for Melusina! Originally planned for release last winter, the developer was struck with COVID and had a lengthy recovery. He is reportedly on the mend and making progress toward the game's Steam release. A VCS version is in the works. The game itself is classic arcade action. It's been described as reminiscent of games like Donkey Kong, Burger Time and Popeye. @Willie! of Arcade USA takes a look at the Steam version of the game. Check it out!

E. King Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Is it a 1 button or 2 button game? Either way I assume it will be playable with classic joystick and will be awesome on the classic joystick. Joe and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. King Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Also, I see it will have Steam leaderboards so it better have VCS leaderboards too. Sabertooth and Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 I will be so disappointed if they dont. I'm still upset that the atari vault doesn't have leaderboards. At least for the arcade games E. King and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlrs95 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Looks like a great game, can't wait to get it. I understand the disappointment about leaderboards but to me it isn't a game changer. Hell, start a Donut Dodo high score thread and we can post pictures. E. King and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
