Donut Boy

The Dough-Nutter 4000 has malfunctioned! It's up to you, Donut Boy, to rescue the
employees and donuts that were scattered around town from the resulting explosion.

This game saves your progress every time a level is completed, or when you pick up a new weapon / character.

How To Play

  • Rescue the character shown at the beginning of each level.
  • Defeat enemies by shooting or jumping on them.
  • Each level has several secret characters you can optionally rescue (if you can find them).
  • You can play as any character that you've rescued. Change characters with "C" or in the pause menu.
  • Collecting donuts is not necessary to complete a level, but collecting all of the donuts in a level will increase your max health by 1.
  • Check if you've missed anything for each level on the Level Select screen.
  • Please don't use Internet Explorer - there are issues with audio playback.



About

Donut Boy was made in JavaScript using the Phaser Framework (v2.4.6). All music was made in Logic Pro X. All pixel art was created in Photoshop. 

This is the first video game that I have ever tried to make, and started as an experiment for me to learn how to make a game. I hope you enjoy it :)




FAQ

This game is taking a long time to load.

Make sure to click inside the game screen and please be patient. Thank you for understanding.

This game is laggy.

Try not having too many other programs or tabs running in the background while you play. If that doesn't help, you might need to play on a better computer. Thank you for understanding.

Is the soundtrack available?

Yes, you can listen to the soundtrack in a few different places:

You can purchase the album on bandcamp for $3.

I would love to support you with money.

Cool! You can click the "Support this Game" button at the top of this page to do that, or purchase the soundtrack on the bandcamp link above.

I would love to support you in... other ways ;)

Thanks, I also accept Nintendo eShop credits and Bed Bath & Beyond coupons.

Wait... Why would Donut Boy want to collect the donuts? Aren't they too dirty to sell anymore?

Run a couple Swiffer® WetJets™ over those bad boys and consumers won't notice.

That red hat looks like another popular red hat.

Good eye! It's an reference to Bart's Lucky Red Hat from the popular adult cartoon series The Simpsons.

Fun game, seems simple but the push-box-killl-enemy and activate-triggers-with-weapons adds a little more interaction than I first thaught. Well done.

Thanks, I'm glad you found some fun interaction despite its simple appearance :)
