Donuts'n'Justice

Donuts’n’Justice is short and sweet, literally. Dish out some justice and take out waves of enemies in this 2D, horizontal side scroller. With only a few levels, the game can be completed quickly. But I bet you a donut that you have fun playing it.

  • gameplay
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is a mixed bag, drawing inspiration from classic side-scrolling run-and-gun titles but often feeling flat and unpolished. Players appreciate the tight controls and customization options, such as hats that provide unique abilities, yet many find the mechanics repetitive, with limited replay value due to short stages and a reliance on random weapon pickups. The chaotic nature of the gameplay, while challenging, can also lead to confusion, particularly with the abundance of on-screen elements.

    • “Different hats give different functions/abilities that affect your gameplay.”
    • “Retro side-scrolling shoot 'em up with great play mechanics and ultra-tight controls.”
    • “As for gameplay, it's just a case of spamming bullets and dodging them back.”
    • “The gameplay felt pretty flat and unpolished.”
    • “Gameplay is clearly inspired by classical side-scrolling run-and-guns/beat-em-ups, and actually does a surprisingly decent job of replicating them, but doesn't add much to the formula.”
  • graphics
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their stylish pixel art and retro aesthetic, reminiscent of classic arcade shooters from the 80s. Reviewers appreciate the attention to detail in the visuals and sound design, noting that the graphics effectively enhance the overall gameplay experience. The combination of satisfying weapon feedback and a well-executed indie art style contributes to a nostalgic yet fresh look.

    • “The graphics and sounds are also pleasing without being too noisy, and the weapons themselves are all satisfying to watch how the enemies all die in different ways.”
    • “I loved the 80's aesthetic and the old school shooter style.”
    • “Amazing design, it has the exact same 'aesthetic' as those games you always see in an arcade machine; not many games achieve the look they want, but this one is just brilliant.”
    • “By looking at the game’s graphics, this is no doubt an indie game.”
    • “This game reminds me of the old classic Narc, except with 8-bit pixel graphics.”
    • “Visuals: it's pixel but this has been done properly.”
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a minimal story, focusing instead on fast-paced action with two 80s super cops on a lighthearted mission to eat donuts and fight. While the gameplay is vibrant and entertaining, many players feel that the lack of a deeper narrative and additional bosses detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the game is relatively short, with a completion time of two to three hours.

    • “Vibrant, silly, action-packed, and extremely fast-paced, the game is centered around two super cops in the 80s who are on a mission to eat donuts and kick ass.”
    • “Donuts'n'Justice is a good and fun game, so now it's time for the story.”
    • “The game could have used some more story and some more bosses too.”
    • “There's no story here.”
    • “The game is a bit short; you can beat it in two hours, maybe three if you’re getting achievements. It could have used some story and some more bosses too.”
    • “Biggest complaint and annoyance: every time you die, you restart a mission.”
  • music
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is characterized by high-energy, catchy, and repetitive background tracks that complement the fast-paced arcade action, evoking a nostalgic retro feel reminiscent of NES games. While the soundtrack consists of short, looped beats for each level, it remains engaging and never becomes annoying, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Users appreciate the fitting audio design, which includes weapon sounds and environmental effects, contributing to the game's lively atmosphere.

    • “Grab some donuts, turn on the soundtrack to Miami Vice, and give this indie gem a try.”
    • “A pretty straightforward arcade-style shooter with stylish pixel graphics and a cool soundtrack.”
    • “The art is very pleasing, and to be honest, the sounds and music have the same retro feel that you get when playing NES games.”
    • “Audio: repetitive background music, weapon feedback, explosions, vehicle sounds, and enemy cries/screams.”
    • “The soundtrack is nothing special; each level and even the menu features just a 1-minute beat looped.”
    • “The sound design is high-energy, catchy, and repetitive, but no matter how long you stay trying to pass a level, the music never gets annoying.”
  • humor
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is noted as a standout feature, with players finding it quite funny, particularly through its quirky weapons like bazookas and a humorous freezing ray gun. However, some reviewers feel it lacks the wackiness and engaging moments found in other games, leading to a less memorable comedic experience overall.

    • “The game's sense of humor is certainly one thing that makes it stand out.”
    • “Everything from bazookas, laser guns, and even a fairly useless but funny freezing ray gun.”
    • “Quite a funny 2D game with a game controller!”
  • replayability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has limited replayability due to its short length, with only four stages that can be completed in under an hour, which many players see as its greatest weakness. However, it does introduce a boss rush mode after finishing the game, providing some incentive for replay. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable and challenging, the lack of content may deter players from returning.

    • “While the game itself is short (having taken me about an hour to finish on my first attempt), it does offer some replayability by providing a boss rush mode once you complete the game on any difficulty setting.”
    • “The limited replay value due to only four stages in the game is the game’s greatest weakness.”
    • “It looks good and is rather fun, but you will beat it in under 1 hour, and after that, there is no replay value.”
    • “While the gameplay is challenging, even on the easiest difficulty level, the brief nature of the stages makes it feel like there is limited replay value.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, especially when aiming to unlock all achievements or content, often suggesting that it requires a significant time investment.

    • “It can be a bit tedious if you want to unlock everything or get all the achievements.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is highly praised, with users noting that it runs extremely smoothly despite being a homemade indie project created by a single developer. The gorgeous pixel art and retro design further enhance the overall performance experience.

    • “Additionally, the pixel art and retro design for this game are gorgeous, and the performance is extremely smooth. I was very impressed to find out that this was a completely homemade indie game crafted with total love by just one developer.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highlighted as engaging and enjoyable, complemented by the presence of fun and creative weapons that enhance the overall experience.

    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into the game's world.”
