The briefing

About this game

Dorodon is an action-focused maze game released in 1981. You control a character in blue pants who navigates a Pac-Man-style maze, collecting question marks, fruit, and other items while avoiding pursuing monsters.

The maze’s walls can flip, changing how you move through the stage. Collecting a whirlwind symbol flips all the walls, while other maneuvers can help you avoid monsters or trap them. Fire presents another hazard to avoid.
