v1.24 - Online Arcade Leaderbooards, Weekly Challenge & Extra Achievements
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. This new release brings much anticipated cross-platform online leaderboards, arcade style, for even more hi-score madness.
At the same time, the Weekly Challenge, a hi-score table that resets weekly, has gone live. This will give everyone a shot at being featured in the Hall of Fame.
Also, the input detection has been completely reprogrammed, as some players had issues with d-pad controls. This should also make the game support more joysticks, as many of you are playing Donut Dodo on your arcade machines.
Other community requests have been implemented, such as the ability to restart the game from the pause menu, choose between different CRT filters or reset the local scoreboards. Two extra achievements have now also been implemented.
Thanks again for all your kind feedback, and happy gaming with Donut Dodo!
Donut Dodo v1.08 - out now!

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 next? We are working hard to implement cross-platform leaderboards (on top of keeping Steam leaderboards), for even more traffic and competition. One of these leaderboards is the Daily Challenge, which will be unlocked at the same time.
Arcade cabinets Also, many of you have successfully managed to get Donut Dodo up and running in your multicades and other fun hardware. Some of you have display issues in very low resolutions on old CRT monitors. While we only have access 2 CRT screens for testing, we will look into it and try to come up with a solution.
