Unfortunately, not my cup of tea. Also super short game - not worth the asking price.
- The controller is ALWAYS player 2, even when you play alone (super annoying)
- The keyboard controls are counter intuitive
- the enemies reach and speed are much higher than yours
- civilians make things messier - I don't like this mechanic
- the badge count will reset whenever you close the game.... which is annoying
Overall, quite simple and bad game loop - it is fine if you play for 10-15 minutes.
beat this game in two tries only taking about an hour to do. Even beat all the bosses. Stupidly easy game and very short for 5$. Worth maybe 1$ if you and a friend are bored and need to kill an hour. I would never play this game solo
Well, it's fun when you first play it, but once the unlocks start happening and random weapons get thrown into the mix; it sucks all fun out of it. The Subway level is awful, it's more narrow because of the random train and the onslaught of enemies gets boosted to the previous level that makes it a complete trial and error level.
As for gameplay, it's just a case of spamming bullets and dodging them back. No real challenge and if you're lucky with the spam, you get to the end and face the bosses. The bosses; their patterns are easy to figure out and are much easier to beat than the standard levels. Don't make sense to me.
I bought this on sale (thankfully) but I still think a little more effort could've went into it.
This is a great game to play with a friend. It's fun solo, but like most games it's better with friends.
Donuts'n'Justice is one of the first games I bought on Steam when I signed up months ago. I loved the 80's aesthetic and the old school shooter style. At first I was a little confused at how difficult the regular skill level was, and I stopped playing for a bit. Then I tried on the "Thumbsucker" level (haha) and it was more manageable. Just be warned that it can get insane no matter what, especially on Level 2 - Chinatown.
Overall, it's a fun game to play when you have a little bit of time to kill, and the unlockable hats are a fun reason to replay through the whole game with the added perks they give. I'm still in the process of unlocking more guns, and I've played for a total of over 3 hours! Grab some donuts, turn on the soundtrack to Miami Vice, and give this indie gem a try.
A pretty straight forward arcade style shooter with stylish pixel graphics and a cool soundtrack. You can shoot either left or right using separate buttons either on your keyboard or controller and you can move around. That's pretty much it and also you'll get to pick up power ups and unlock new weapons the more badges you collect in each run. The game is really challenging though and you'll be dying a lot even in the first level. Things get hectic really fast and it really challenges your reflexes.
One gripe I have is that the bullets are hard to see with all the stuff going on on screen and I tended to get hit without even seeing them coming.
All in all, pretty fun and challenging arcade style game with a cool retro look that is easy to learn and hard to master. Decent fun in short bursts.
This game is kind of fun, but it is really easy to see that the developers just didn't want to put much effort in it.
The weapons that you unlock later in the game are actually worse than the initial weapon, so there's not really a point in them being there. The difficulty setting from easy to medium just goes from "I don't take a hit" to "No matter what I do, I'll always die", so it is not really balanced.
When you finish the game, there's no ending sequence. You kill the boss and then nothing more happens. Literally nothing more. You can keep the game open for hours and hours and you'll just be on the level, walking around and shooting nothing.
So it really seems that the developers really wanted to somehow release the game and forget it.
2/10
This is partly my fault -- I'd assumed this was a side scrolling beat-em-up but nope, it's closer to a bullet hell shmup. Enemy bullets look just like YOUR bullets, which only adds to the on-screen chaos. Lack of resolution options beyond "720p window" and "fullscreen" is a serious ding against it, the direction-based controls are confusing, and you die so quickly that it's hard to learn what you did wrong so you can improve your play next time around.
Donuts ‘n’ Justice is a pixelated game that appears to be a throwback to the arcade games of the 1980s. It is also a reminder of the famous 1980s TV show Miami Vice. It is not a brawler game by any means; it is a side-scrolling shooter in which you go up against criminals by playing either Mick Riggs or Nick Gordon if you choose the single-player mode. You can also play co-op with a friend so that both Riggs and Gordon can take down the criminals together.
By looking at the game’s graphics, this is no doubt an indie game. It looks quite decent for an indie game. You simply shoot at bad guys as you move horizontally to the right, but there will be some villains shooting at you from behind on the left side of the screen. The keyboard controls are simple: X to shoot left, C to shoot right, Spacebar to throw grenades and arrow keys to move around. I got accustomed to the controls quickly despite not having much experience with them. As the action progresses, criminals will drop items such as badges, mushrooms (eat them to slow down time), boxes of new weapons. and donuts. Donuts have long been associated with cops, but in this game, donuts can save your life since they add lost health. Weapons range from the familiar to the laugh out loud types. One weapon, a DNA modifier, turns enemies into animals like chickens and pigs.
Despite the generous health bar and the donuts that frequently drop to the ground, you will die a lot. The game is easy to learn, hard to master. You will have to move around a lot to avoid getting shot, but sometimes there are way too many bullets to avoid. There is no save point throughout a given level, but I do not complain about that since that was the way arcade games were back in the day. Some may not like the lack of a save point in the middle of each level. Dying on a level will force you to restart the level. Shooting civilians in higher difficulty modes will cause your weapon to jam and this becomes very problematic due to the number of enemies firing bullets at you. Trying to reach a donut to recover health while dodging so many bullets can be grueling and lead to instant death even at the easiest difficulty mode.
There are four stages of action in the game and each stage ends with a boss. I feel like the game ends too soon after stage four, as I was able to complete the game on the first day I launched it. 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. What is fun throughout the game is the ability to pick up cash from dead criminals to buy creative hats in the shop. Some hats are simply for aesthetics whereas other hats provide special powers like an automatic bullet proof vest and the ability to keep civilians alive even if shoot them. There is a pumpkin hat that leads to the game having a Halloween theme. The pumpkin hat leads to spontaneous witch hat drops that can be picked up and automatically summon witches to help your cause. The hats are also great for unlocking Steam achievements. In the past the Halloween based achievements could only be unlocked in October, but the developer changed it so that you can unlock these achievements at any time. Upon completion of the game, the Boss Rush mode is unlocked on the main menu so that you can take on the same bosses you faced in each stage.
Donuts ‘n’ Justice is a retro game with a decent retro look and feel. The limited replay value due to only four stages in the game is the game’s greatest weakness. I think it is good for those who want to relive the 1980s of arcade pixelation, nice Steam achievements, and Steam trading cards. This is an ordinary game that breaks no boundaries.
My Score: 6.5/10
I liked the visual style and the reviews were positive so I gave it a shot. To be honest, I expected more. The gameplay felt pretty flat and unpolished.
I played it with a friend and in the train level (apparently the last?) we felt really done with it. Unsatisfied done, unfortunately.

TLDR: Floaty controls. Very loose hitboxing. Improper sprite detection on multiple Z height elevations.Foe AI stacks enemies on top of each other. Shoddy animation. Annoying announcer.
It is immediately obvious that this game does not control well and has less enjoyability than even old SNES games of yesteryear. Everything feels off, and eyeballed into place with a distinct amateur touch.
If you are going to be able to cope with older sprites and debatably slower animations then do yourself a favor and try out an old Metal Slug game instead of this. You will find a much better crafted and overall more gripping experience with those to be sure.

Donuts'n'Justice is good and fun game, so now it time story.
Trustily there is all most not one. Anyway you can play as Mike Riggs or Nick Gordon there is really nothing different except one is white and one is black but that’s about it, but anyway you pare a young cop on the street and you must fight your way to the boss.
Okay so what’s there to like about this game, the fast paste action was good, the fun weapons you use were fun to use like the flamethrower, loved the old school retro/arcade feel of the game, the music was nice too.
Now for the annoying parts of the game, game is a bit short you can beat it in two hours maybe three if you’re getting achievements, game could have used some story, and some more bosses too.
So with all that said this is a really nice game, and if you’re looking for a fun but hard old school retro/arcade you really can’t go wrong with this one.
These developers have no business charging $5 for this POS. Seriously, unless this game is on sale for $.50 or it's part of a cheap bundle, just ignore it.
Everything about this title feels lazy and half baked - almost like it's a demo released as a full title. Ridiculously short play time coupled with crummy controls... yeah, I could go on but I think I've made my point. There are plenty of other titles on Steam that are more worthy of your time and money than this garbage; steer clear.
Despite the quite big health bar, you will die a lot here, idk how it happens to me every time, but i end up with a *sudden* game over screen very often lol.
About the game itself -
+Visually good, reminds good old SNES games.
+Okay soundwork, guns and misc sounds.
+Gameplay - pretty simple, you only have 2 options - to shoot left and to shoot right (+grenades which feel like unlimited because of the number of ammo boxes), local multi.
-Controls - my problem is that there is no buttons remap feature (for now), i don't like the default controls
+Steam achievements
+Steam cards
Got the game on sale and cards basically covered 100% of the price - free small game before the new year i guess. By the way, looking at the game's poster, isn't the black guy supposed to have a bigger gun? Or just white guy compensating?
Low-fi indie trash sadly. Which I was expecting, but it's worse than that.
It's a cross between SHMUP and a beat'em up with problematic hit boxes, inconsistent item drops, and a strange damage system. You get zero invincibility frames after being hit and the enemies just run at you and rapid fire off a burst or melee from below you on the screen. Normally in a beat 'em up there's some leeway between vertical positions on the screen, but not here. Also the amount of damage you can take in an instant can be nearly fatal and often comes at angles or from a hitscan weapon. You can only fire directly left or right. Oh, and there's grenades. That throw too far for how fast enemies move and take too long to explode.
The entire game has the makings of something fun, but instead is a miserable waste of time and money. I only spent $2 and I feel it wasn't worth it when I had low expectations to begin with.
My review is based on playing the game on all difficulties in local co-op during a couple of evenings. I recommend playing it with a friend. It will last an hour or a couple depending on your skill levels.
The good:
- nice retro graphics and sounds
- local co-op works perfectly and has controller support
- fun weapons and atmosphere
The bad:
- really short, was expecting to see many more levels
- kitty gun just sounds annoying
- bosses are surprisingly weak
We just beat this game in about an hour and while the price might be ok for an hour of fun, this was mostly an hour of tedium and spam. What annoys me the most is that this game just feels really lazy. The bosses are not balanced at all. The first one might have been a challenge to some but all the bosses after that don't even really have a pattern. Just shoot them until they are dead. The last couple bosses didn't even hit us once even though we were not good at the game. We had to repeat levels constantly and I ran in front of the stupid train at least 6 times.
The controls don't feel all there, the drops are too random and too frequent to care about, the grenades are more bother than anything. Some of the random weapons are just really useless and all the money you pick up can only ever be used to buy one out of about 15-20 uninspired hats. The hat thing really drives home the feeling of how robots probably designed this game on an assembly line of uninspired games. "It needs hats for the sake of it. Hoomans love hats."
This one don't. I wish I hadn't bought the game not because it was a huge waste of money but rather because I supported lazy game design and fell for it just because it has local coop.
"Donuts'n'Justice" Review:
-Gameplay: Difficult in every mode possible, confusing bullets, way too many things in one monitor, but in that way, it`s even more fun!
-Design: Amazing design, it has the exact same "Aesthetic" as those games you always see in a arcade machine, not many games get what they want to make them look, but this one, this one is just brilliant
-Menu: Simple, it has everything you need
-Soundtrack: Nothing special to say about it, each level and even the menu is just a 1 minute beat looped
It`s sometimes annoying to find a new weapon when you`re using one already, and i was thinking that this game would be totally ideal if it was multiplayer, but playing with friends online, not in "Co-op local", just like Portal 2.
(Really short game, just 5 levels?!)
Other than that, great game, gives you a lot of nostalgia
-7/10
This game is really fun! This is one of those games where you can feel that every pixel had great love put into it. Despite its basic appeal, this game really does separate itself from others like it. With its low price tag, Donuts 'n Justice is easily worth a buy!
A pretty simple scrolling arcade shooter. Miami Vice seems to be a big influence on the main characters and some of the backgrounds in the game. It's obviously a nice little tribute to 80's action films an television. From fighting roving bands of ninja's in China-Town, to mohawk an machine gun wielding punk gangs in the subway system. All those great 80's action cliches are represented.
It also contains some more bizarre things like a giant pile of green slime an super sized angry Alien Donut! The games sense of humor is certainly one thing that makes it stand out. Most notably on the final stage where you discover aliens did indeed kidnap Elvis and he's being kept alive!
The pixel art is well done, creative, an colorful. Really gives off the feeling of playing mid 80's early computer games quite well. The background detail is pretty good an far from bland. Each area looks unique an stands out pretty well. I especially like the graffiti covered subway that comes scrolling by on the subway tunnel stage. The main characters almost remind me of Leisure Suit Larry from their outfits.
While the game in itself is short (having taken me about an hour to finish on my first attempt) it does offer some replayability by offering a Boss Rush mode once you complete the game on any difficulty setting. Although I will say the bosses in this game are probably the easiest part. It takes me just barely about a minute to complete boss rush. The main stages are much more difficult. But you also have the option of trying to collect all 10 unlockable weapons which you have to collect badges dropped by enemies to obtain. Everything from Bazookas, Laser guns, and even a fairly useless but funny freezing ray gun.
The concept is simple but quite fun. All you're really trying to do is dodge bullets an lay waste to enemies, while hopefully avoiding shooting the occasional civilian that comes across your path. You're given grenades, a starting pistol an as you progress extra weapons, armor, donuts for extra health, power ups that super charge your weapon and sometimes exploding barrels you can use to kill groups of enemies.
The sound effects are pretty well done. The music is also pretty good and fits well with each stage. Movement controls are very smooth an responsive using a controller. Haven't tried it out with only keyboard.
Difficulty wise I found the game fairly easy to complete even on the highest setting. But I'm also the type of person that can 1cc Cave shmups and tend to be pretty decent at difficult shooters. I would say for the average player this game is in the middle of the road difficulty wise on normal setting. Not impossible but requires some good reactions to dodge bullets.
Even if you're not that great at this kind of game, on the "Thumbsucker" setting I think most people could complete it after a few tries. Once you complete a particular stage the game saves your progress so you can continue back from the stage you left off at if you exit the game.
Fairly short but sweet budget indie game. No online coop but the game supports local 2 player mode. I feel like the only downside to Donuts 'N Justice is just the fact it's so short. For the low price I'd say it's worth buying. Especially if you're craving a quick dose of some run an gun action that is pretty easy to dive into.
