About Dotto Botto
Dotto Botto is a 2D pixel-art platformer in the classic Super Mario Bros. style, developed by PitiGameDev and released in 2022. After his airplane crashes, you guide the robot hero Dotto through 10 side-scrolling levels packed with moving platforms, spikes, and enemies to find his way home. The core loop is straightforward run-and-jump platforming: navigate hazards, collect power-ups, defeat or dodge creatures, and reach the end of each level, building up to a final boss fight and one of two possible endings.
How to play Dotto Botto
- Move Dotto left and right using the arrow keys or WASD.
- Jump onto platforms and over gaps using the jump key, timing your leaps to avoid spikes and pits.
- Grab power-ups along the way to boost Dotto's abilities.
- Avoid or stomp enemies before they touch you — contact with hazards or enemies costs a life.
- Clear all 10 levels to reach the climactic boss battle.
- Press Spacebar to skip intro or cutscene sections if you want to jump straight into a level.
Controls
- Desktop: Arrow keys or WASD to move and jump; Spacebar to skip intros. A connected gamepad also works: D-pad or left stick to move, A/B to jump or skip, Start/Back to pause.
- Mobile / tablet: On-screen touch controls for moving and jumping.
Dotto Botto tips & strategy
- Learn each level's spike and enemy layout before rushing — precise jump timing matters more than speed.
- Prioritize grabbing visible power-ups; they make later, harder levels much more manageable.
- Watch a moving platform's pattern before committing to a jump onto it rather than jumping blind.
- Save jumps for clear gaps — mistimed jumps near spikes are the most common way to lose a life.
- Pace yourself through the 10 levels; enemy density and hazard complexity increase as you approach the final boss.
What makes Dotto Botto fun
A charming retro pixel-art style paired with tight, classic platforming across 10 varied levels with power-ups, hazards, and a proper climactic boss fight, plus two different endings depending on how you finish the game.
