About this game

Dinky Doo is a single-screen action arcade game set in a nightmare caused by eating a cheese sandwich before bed. The goal is to escape by completing levels and reaching the safety of your Mother's room.

Each screen contains walls and moving creatures. Touching either costs one of three lives. Collecting the hot milk causes some creatures to turn into cherries, which can be gathered while heading toward a door that appears. Later levels add lasers that switch on and off and are deadly to touch.

An oxygen bar decreases during play, refills when the milk is collected, and begins decreasing again on the way to the door. Remaining oxygen provides bonus points when the level is completed.
