I may play some of those games a lot more than you is probably why. I can tell you that Donut Dodo is absolutely awesome retro arcade game and is worth every penny of the $5 it costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It was worth the wait! I bought Donut DoDo for the Atari VCS last evening and its a fantastic game! It plays every bit as good as I had imagined - challenging, fast-paced and addictive! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Donkey Kong/Popeye. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaderboards never seem to work on my VCS. Can someone with a VCS confirm whether the leaderboards work for them or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markofwolves Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The classic controller is not supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davpa Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 5 hours ago, markofwolves said: The classic controller is not supported? There was a bug found at the last minute (due to coding, not Bluetooth issue) that if you use the Joystick wirelessly the rotator interferes with movement directions. If you wire the Joystick it will work fine, albeit very sensitive movement around the ladders. Because of the wireless issue with the joystick, it was decided to “remove” Joystick support for the game temporarily. Pixel games is working on the fix, it was an issue on how the controller was coded. So play with the Joystick wired for right now until an update. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I'm loving this game! Easily my favorite of the VCS games I've tried. Harder than I expected though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I have been able to consistently get to the fifth stage in Easy-Medium (1st round), but can't beat that Dodo yet. I notice the levels (at least at Easy-Medium difficulty) is pattern-based; you can run the same pattern every time, and the enemies react the same way every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I haven't figured out how to clear the 2nd level. I collected all the small donuts, then what? Am I supposed to jump onto the large donut going up and down? I die when I try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go from the second floor (one up from the bottom) and jump up to hit it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out my problem, I wasn't grabbing the donut in the upper left because I didn't realize you could safely jump over the flaming oil barrels! Once I figured that out I was able to complete the level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Pro tip: Your score gets WAY HIGHER if you go for the bonus donuts instead of just grabbing whatever is in front of you. Double or triple the score, which also means more bonus lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 My take: an instant classic. I freaking love this game. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I don’t know if it’s been posted yet but I’ve noticed the game has now been updated on VCS with full support for the Classic Wireless Joystick!. No more needing to have the USB cable connected to the Joystick for it to work correctly. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Yeah, the new update takes the game to perfection: The Classic Joystick doesn't just work but works really well, plays better for me than the Modern. Added to that cross-platform leaderboards and the ability to Quick Reset mid-game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Just picked this up. I'm seriously addicted to this game. It has that old-school arcade feel to it. Love the music! Very challenging. It's definitely one of those "Just one more game" games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Finally beat stage 5 over the weekend. Game is one of the best arcade games I've played in...dunno how long. Long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 It looks like a heck of a lot of fun from the longplays I've seen! I need to pick it up still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
