Don Doko Don is a cute platform game by Taito and follows the
one-screen action games series inspired by the excellent Bubble Bobble.
The kingdom of Marry Land is in sorrow. The beloved princess has been and
two courageous dwarves have decided to leave their forest and go on a journey
to rescue her. Don Doko Don a single screen maze game where players are able to jump up
platforms but not down, and where they must kill all creatures in every single stage to fulfil their mission.
Each dwarf is equipped with a large mallet and use it
to flatten his enemies. Once flat, they can
be grabbed and thrown against walls and other creatures, freeing this way bonuses, fruits or
special items. They are numerous and varied, like the blue bottles which
increase our hero's speed, more powerful mallets or magic items (like books or statues).
Our friends also have a life bar. However, this bar is only used when hit
by thrown objects or when rotten fruits are eaten. If the player hits an enemy, it is instant death and a life
is automatically consumed. The game is divided into large areas of
ten stages each, with a big guardian waiting for our heroes at the end of each of them.

Don Doko Don is a great game ! The two simultaneous players mode is brilliant.
Graphics are really cute and detailed, and I personally like all the catchy tunes played
during the game. As you would have probably guessed, Don Doko Don is really
playable and highly addictive. I was impressed by all the original features included in this
title. Some players will certainly recognize some traditional features like
slipping floors or falling rocks. But later stages offer some unusual ones, like crystal blocks that can be
destroyed with your mallet and then collapse in a Tetris way.
Don Doko Don sadly doesn't have as much hidden treasures and appeal as Bubble Bobble,
but it is without question an excellent game.
