Donut Dodo Fantastico Announced: Pixel Games SARL-S Reveals Sequel for Nintendo Switch and More

Pixel Games SARL-S, the developer renowned for delivering vibrant retro-inspired arcade experiences, has officially announced its latest project: Donut Dodo Fantastico.

This long-anticipated sequel builds on the charm and fast-paced action of Donut Dodo, which has won critical acclaim among retro gaming enthusiasts since its initial debut in June 2022 on PC (Steam), Atari VCS, and iiRcade. Donut Dodo quickly captured the community’s attention with its vivid pixel art, precision platforming mechanics, and whimsical story about a baker’s quest to reclaim his tasty treats from a mischievous, donut-loving dodo.

The game’s accessible yet challenging design helped it secure later releases on fan-favorite hardware such as the Nintendo Switch (via the eShop) and Evercade within the Indie Heroes Collection 3.

It even saw arcade-level upgrades for exA-Arcadia machines, appearing under the title Donut Dodo Do!. Since the original’s success, Pixel Games SARL-S has focused on creating authentic 1980s-style arcade games, including titles like Cash Cow DX and Looney Landers.

Now, the studio is set to return to its flagship character with Donut Dodo Fantastico, taking players on an imaginative journey as the iconic Dodo and his son experience chaos during a day at the fair, instigated by the return of the troublesome Baker Billy Burns. According to the official Steam page, Donut Dodo Fantastico promises six unique funfair-themed levels packed with new, attraction-based gameplay mechanics.

Players can expect: - Tight, responsive controls sculpted for classic single-player arcade action; - Multiple hidden secrets and varied endings dependent on player skill and progression; - Both local and global leaderboards to foster competition and replayability; - A distinctive CRT-friendly pixel art style utilizing a vibrant 16-color palette; - An energetic chiptune soundtrack that drives the arcade atmosphere; - No continues, pushing players to maximize each run for leaderboard supremacy. "We’re aiming to craft an arcade experience that feels both fresh and rooted in the golden age of gaming," stated a representative from Pixel Games SARL-S, reflecting the developer’s passion for authentic, skill-based platforming fun. While an official release date for Donut Dodo Fantastico has not yet been confirmed, fans can already wishlist the game on Steam to stay updated.
