Pix’n Love, Flynn’s Arcade, and Pixel Games have teamed up to bring back the nostalgia of retro gaming with the upcoming release of Donut Dodo on Nintendo Switch. This delightful action-platformer, inspired by the arcade games of the 1980s, will have you jumping, climbing, and collecting donuts in a quest to defeat the notorious Donut Dodo and his minions.
For those who long for the classic gaming experience, Donut Dodo is the perfect throwback. With its pixel-perfect graphics, chiptune music, and simple yet challenging gameplay, it embodies the essence of the arcade games that revolutionized the leisure industry.
In Donut Dodo, players take on the role of Baker Billy Burns on a mission to collect all the donuts in the shortest time possible. With 5 levels and a bonus stage, each with its own unique game mechanics, players will have to navigate through various obstacles to outwit Donut Dodo and his gang.
But the adventure doesn’t end there. Donut Dodo also offers global leaderboards, where players can compete for the highest score using only 3-character initials, just like in the good old arcade days.
According to the development team at Pixel Games, the controls are incredibly tight and the gameplay is designed to be fast-paced and challenging without any cheap deaths. This ensures a true arcade experience for players.
But Donut Dodo isn’t just about reliving the past – it also brings modern features to the table. With a 16-color palette and old-school screen ratio, the game stays true to its retro roots while still offering a visually appealing experience. The soundtrack, composed by the talented CosmicGem, adds to the overall nostalgic atmosphere.
Donut Dodo for Nintendo Switch will be available on April 26, 2024. There will be two versions to choose from – the standard version with 2500 copies and the Day One Edition limited to only 500 copies. The Day One Edition includes an illustrated game manual, a keychain, the soundtrack on mini-CD, a reversible cover, and an exclusive sleeve, making it a must-have for collectors.
So, gear up for a trip back to 1983 and join the fun with Donut Dodo. With its unique blend of retro and modern elements, this game is sure to delight both old-school gamers and newcomers alike. Mark your calendars for April 26, 2024, and get ready for an unforgettable experience on Nintendo Switch.
