| Donut Dodo for the N64 and other news... | 2026-03-26 | First, a quick update on the new high score server:I’m happy to report that it’s now complete and undergoing final testing. Once everything is ready, I’ll migrate Donut Dodo to the new platform, likely before summer.Alongside this, the game will receive a brand-new Endless Mode with its own dedicated leaderboard. It’s quite challenging and a lot of fun, so there’s something new to look forward to. Cash Cow DX will follow at a later date. As a reminder, the existing Steam leaderboards for both games remain unaffected and fully operational.Donut Dodo – A New Nintendo 64 GameIn other news, the latest Nintendo 64 port of Donut Dodo is also nearin |
| Important Announcement – SilentWolf Leaderboards Shutdown Causing Crashes | 2025-11-04 | Hi everyone,I’ve identified the cause of the recent crashes affecting Donut Dodo (on startup) and Cash Cow DX (when loading leaderboards). Unfortunately, the SilentWolf leaderboard backend, which both games rely on for their cross-platform leaderboards, has been shut down without warning as of November 1st.Because the games are attempting to connect to SilentWolf on launch, this sudden shutdown is causing the crashes some of you are seeing.I’m already working on uncoupling SilentWolf from both games as the top priority. Here’s what to expect:Steam leaderboards will remain unaffected and can still be accessed normally through Steam.The cross-p |

| 2025 and beyond | 2024-11-25 | Hi everyone, It’s been a while, so here’s the latest on what’s going on! Let’s start with the fun stuff. Pricing: To continue delivering high-quality gaming experiences, I will be adjusting the price of all arcade titles to better reflect the value and effort behind them. Starting early 2025, all titles will be priced at $7.99 USD (or your local currency equivalent). This adjustment will apply across all stores and platforms. On the bright side, this change allows for higher seasonal discounts and even better bundle deals, so keep an eye out for those! Soundtracks: Unrelated to the price update (though potentially beneficial too) is the news |
| Coming soon: Looney Landers | 2024-08-18 | Following Donut Dodo and Cash Cow DX, Looney Landers is the third title in the Class of 1983 arcade trilogy. Looney Landers is a short and goofy classic arcade party game, for 1-2 players. Compete against friends, family, or the CPU to claim the top spot on the leaderboards in this score-chasing frenzy. The game combines elements from Sky Diver (Atari, 1978), Sky Skipper (Nintendo, 1981) and Peggle (PopCap, 2007) to deliver an utterly wonky gameplay experience. You can wishlist Looney Landers here. Thank you for the support! |

| v1.31 - New Arcade Bezels, Fixes & Optimizations | 2022-08-26 | There have been a couple of recent updates to Donut Dodo, so it's about time to list what is new or what issues have been addressed. Bezel: Most notably, from a visual point of view, the game has received an illustrated 80s style arcade bezel. To accompany it, new bezel options have been added to the settings menu, where you can choose between different designs or turn them off altogether. Weekly Challenge: The weekly challenge was not always resetting correctly, to be in synch with the online leaderboards. This has been addressed and hopefully fixed for good. Arcade Shortcuts: Many are playing Donut Dodo on their arcade cabinet, and have bee |
| v1.24 - Online Arcade Leaderbooards, Weekly Challenge & Extra Achievements | 2022-07-05 | It has been about a month since Donut Dodo was released, and so much has happened since. First of all, you guys have been amazing. Your feedback has really helped iron out bugs and your great suggestions have helped make the game it is today. Thank you! While there have been dozens of fixes and optimizations in recent patches, v1.24 is the biggest one to date.

| Donut Dodo v1.08 - out now! | 2022-06-09 | Beautiful Donut Dodo illustration by Greg Pugh - @GPAnimations Hey all! It has almost been a week since we released Donut Dodo... and what a week it has been. Thank you so much for all your amazing feedback and very kind compliments. Your valuable feedback has no doubt helped make Donut Dodo the game it is today! Speaking of which: We have just pushed out v1.08 that addresses quite a few quality of life upgrades, corrected some gameplay aspects, such as making the Ferris Wheel more "sticky", but most importantly, we have fixed a nasty bug in the Sugar Rush Speedrun leaderboards. These should now work correctly, both online and offline. What n |
