Sabertooth Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Posted May 23, 2022 (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!

D.joe Posted May 23, 2022 Report Posted May 23, 2022 Hmm can't seem to get on the atari discord page. Hope it's still there. Also I am pumped about this game and bpm boy Sabertooth 1
Stlrs95 Posted May 23, 2022 Report Posted May 23, 2022 This will be a day one purchase for me. I love these kind of games. Hoping it all works out and it gets released on the VCS. Sabertooth and D.joe 2
D.joe Posted May 24, 2022 Report Posted May 24, 2022 I really hope this game has leaderboards Sabertooth 1
Sabertooth Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Posted May 28, 2022 Here's the new launch trailer from the dev. Love that music! Stlrs95 1
TrekMD Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 This is a game I'll be getting for the VCS. 🙂 Stlrs95, D.joe and Sabertooth 3 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
D.joe Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 Yup ! I will be buying this one as soon as it hits the store also Sabertooth and Stlrs95 2
D.joe Posted May 30, 2022 Report Posted May 30, 2022 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 Sabertooth 1
Sabertooth Posted June 3, 2022 Author Report Posted June 3, 2022 From Pixel Games, Donut Dodo is expected to launch tomorrow on the VCS! https://pixel.games/donutdodo/index.html Stlrs95 1

Stlrs95 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 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. Sabertooth 1

Sabertooth Posted June 4, 2022 Author Report Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) From the developer via Twitter. This is in response to the leaderboard question, specific to VCS: Edited June 4, 2022 by Sabertooth RickR 1
Sabertooth Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Posted July 2, 2022 And it gets even better! Full joystick support and cross-platform leaderboards should make @E. King happy! RickR 1
Sabertooth Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) The long awaited update to Donut Dodo is now live! v1.25 includes online leaderboards and classic joystick support! Edited July 8, 2022 by Sabertooth RickR 1
Stlrs95 Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 I love this update. Although I am no where near getting onto the online leaderboards. Haha The game just looks better as well. Not sure what was done, but it just seems to fit better on my tv and the graphics have a little more pop to them. Or it could be my imagination. 🤣 Sabertooth 1
Sabertooth Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Posted August 11, 2022 How are folks digging the sweet new update to Donut Dodo? I know there are other improvements for general performance but it's all about the bezel! 🤩
Mockduck Posted August 12, 2022 Report Posted August 12, 2022 Both patches have been great, this due to the bezel which is nice, although I kinda liked keeping my focus with a black background, so might change it to that. Game has always run well for me, but it runs great. Sabertooth 1
Stlrs95 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Posted August 17, 2022 Love it! The Bezel really adds to that arcade feel. I can't wait to see who the first person is to make a full size Donut Dodo cabinet! Sabertooth 1
