Donut Dodo is Getting Another Sequel and I am Thrilled

Donut Dodo FANTASTICO | Teaser

I will forever be indebted to Coury Carlson for sharing Donut Dodo in My Life in Gaming's video celebrating the Nintendo Switch 1's life before Switch 2. It is by far the game I have come back to the most in 2025. It's a perfect five minutes here and there game.

Or 30 minutes here and there...

In my newfound fandom, I looked up other projects the developer pixel games SARL-S has made and discovered there is an exA-Arcadia exclusive version with co-op. But then, the other day, I started looking around again and discovered a full-blown sequel is in the works called Donut Dodo FANTASTICO. Gimme gimme gimme.

While the teaser doesn't give much more than sublime chiptunage, the Steam page gives us lots more to chew on. There are screenshots of the new stages and a hearty description.

"The goofy bird returns to treat Dodo Junior to a whirlwind day at the vintage funfair - a delightful outing packed with spinning rides, wild attractions, and enough donuts to hit the sweet spot!

But wait! Baker Billy Burns is here to make a mess of things and grab every last donut before little Junior can get those wings sticky!"

Hol' up a minute. Am I the bad guy here?

"We’re going back to 1983, again, with:

• 6 unique funfair-themed stages and all-new attraction-based mechanics
• Bring a friend and share the fun! Local couch-coop mode
• Tight, precise controls tailored for pure arcade action
• Multiple secrets and alternate endings based on skill and progression
• Local and global high-score leaderboards, arcade-style
• Glorious CRT-friendly pixel art with a vibrant 16-color palette
• Authentic high energy chiptune soundtrack
• No continues - each run is a fresh chance to climb the leaderboard!"

So pumped for more Donut Dodo. Seriously, you should play the first one.
