Donut Dodo is a 2022 arcade-style platformer developed by Pixel Games, released on PC, Nintendo Switch, Evercade, and arcade hardware. Players control Baker Billy Burns as he runs, jumps, and climbs through single-screen stages, collecting every donut on each level as quickly as possible while evading the antagonist Donut Dodo and a cast of dim-witted minions. The game offers five distinct levels plus a bonus stage, each built around its own mechanical twist, with no continues — a deliberate nod to the unforgiving design sensibilities of early 1980s arcade cabinets. Controls are described as precisely tuned to avoid unfair deaths, and the presentation leans fully into its retro inspirations: a 16-color palette, old-school screen ratio, pixel-perfect graphics, and an original chiptune soundtrack composed by CosmicGem. Worldwide leaderboards use the classic three-character initial format, keeping competition rooted in arcade tradition.
