Doofas

About

Doofas is a quirky side-scrolling action game where a dinosaur ruler defends his realm from cosmic villains. Developed by Scott Cawthon in 1994 using early game-making tools, it plays like a retro platformer with basic controls and pixelated visuals. You control Doofas as he battles Miaton and Prochun, two henchmen sent by Lord Grok to destroy Dinostria. The story leans into absurd humor and over-the-top evil schemes, with a focus on straightforward combat and level progression. This title stands out as the first game ever made by Scott Cawthon, long before his Five Nights at Freddy’s fame. Built with Klik and Play software, it reflects 90s indie development constraints and creativity. The intentionally campy dialogue and chaotic plot make it a cult curiosity, offering more charm than polish. Fans of retro gaming oddities or Scott’s later work might find it intriguing, though it plays very differently from his horror hits.

Storyline

Doofas the Dinosaur has ruled over Dinostria for many years in great success after having opened the spazicore. The spazicore was a one way portal into the realm of Lord Grok, who was in charge of making sure that all universes got their fair share of evil, Doofas created the spazicore so Dinostria could toss it right back in Lord Groks face. Grok, after having grown tired of this, decided to take matters into his own hands. Grok created Miaton and Prochun out of all his remaining evil for him attack on Dinostria... to destroy it!
