Play Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh Online

Summary

Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh, often called Arkanoid 2, keeps the classic paddle‑and‑ball feel while adding a surprising amount of depth. You still guide the Vaus to bounce a ball into rows of bricks, but each cleared stage now sprouts a pair of "Warp Gates" at the bottom. Choosing the left or right gate determines which version of the next round appears, letting you steer the difficulty curve yourself. The fire button only lights up when you snag a Laser (L) or Catch (C) pill, turning the paddle into a short‑range weapon for a few seconds.

The game introduces two brand‑new brick behaviors: notched silver bricks that heal themselves after a brief pause, and bricks that slide side‑to‑side unless blocked by neighbors. Power‑ups still drop from shattered tiles, but the strategic timing of the Break (B) pill can also open a gate without needing a fire‑button. Around round 17 a giant brain mini‑boss pops up, offering a quick test of your reflexes before the final showdown.

The US arcade version shuffles Level 1 into a line of notched bricks with moving colored blocks above, giving the opening a distinct challenge. Home ports even added a level editor, so you could craft or tweak stages—except for the brain mini‑boss and the DOH finale. All told, the 34‑round journey feels like a branching puzzle adventure rather than a straight‑line sequel.

Storyline

Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh (often just called Revenge of Doh) pits the player back behind the Vaus paddle as the mysterious enemy DOH returns to exact revenge on the space vessel. The game challenges you to survive 34 rounds, which are selected from a larger pool of 64 possible stages. Around midway, round 17 throws a giant brain mini‑boss into the mix, testing reflexes and strategy. The climax pits the player against DOH in two distinct forms: first a statue‑like incarnation, then a tentacled creature that regenerates each time it’s hit. Defeating both forms finally puts an end to DOH’s vengeance.
