Doofus Overview
Doofus is a platform game where the player controls a character implied to be of limited intelligence. The primary objective involves navigating a series of levels while protecting both the player character and a companion dog from harm.
Levels are designed with platforms at varying heights, allowing for multiple pathways. The game's scrolling direction is from right to left, which is an atypical orientation. The canine companion follows the player's movements automatically.
Players can use a shooting mechanic to eliminate most threats, while other hazards require evasion through jumping. Various power-ups, including improved weapons, are available to collect throughout the stages.
