Douggle Type D

Douggle Type D is a spinoff of the Douggle series released in 2019 to bridge the gap between Douggle Unlimited 2 and Douggle Unlimited X. Taking place right after (and partially during the last moments of) Douggle Unlimited 2, it follows Dingus Bobingus' escape from the Vatican Complex and his return to power.

## Gameplay

Douggle Type D is a first-person shooter. Replacing the Unlimit Mode from Douggle Unlimited and Unlimited 2, Type D has FULL DINGLE Mode. FULL DINGLE Mode slows time to 25% and gives the player unlimited ammo.

## Story

Type-D is split into eight chapters. Being a first-person shooter, the story is more simplistic than other games in the series.

### Chapter 1 - Awakening

Dingus wakes up in the Vatican Complex surrounded by bodies, an unknown period of time after himself and Dougie D. Wabblo attacked. He remembers killing a lot of these guys, but not quite this many. He take the sidearm of one of the nearby bodies and starts looking for a way out of the complex, as the way he got in is a bit... Destroyed. As he quickly finds out, not all of the catholic church's army is dead and they're well aware Dingus isn't meant to be here.

After a bit of exploration, Dingus finds himself in a large courtyard. By chance, he looks to a rooftop to see a cloaked figure with robot legs looking down at him. The figure turns and walks away as a nearby trebuchet launches a shipping container into the courtyard. Out of the shipping container steps Mechapriest, the first boss. Dingus defeats him and asks who the cloaked guy is, but Mechapriest says he wasn't told anything and passes out.

### Chapter 2 - Egress

Dingus takes one of Mechapriest's guns and continues through the complex. Shortly, he reaches an elevator and chooses to take it upwards. As it rises, a handful of catholic soldiers attack him. He defeats all of them and exits at the top of the elevator, which takes him to the roof.

Partway through crossing the rooftops, Dingus finds an armoury from which he immediately steals a grenade launcher. Shortly afterwards there is an attack and he is attacked by an attack helicopter, which attacks him. Luckily the helicopter isn't grenade proof, so it falls to his new toy quickly. It crashes, taking a section of wall with it which Dingus uses as an exit from the compound.

### Chapter 3 - Recruitment

After a one-year timeskip, Dingus is recruiting some soldiers for his New Dingus Army. This chapter is unique as being the only one in the game without real combat. The entire chapter pretty much adds up to a shooting range section that acts as the FULL DINGLE mode tutorial.

### Chapter 4 - Devil

Shortly after Chapter 3 (and with a little more successful recruitment), Dingus and his soldiers finally get a job: guarding a train transporting a prototype energy weapon for John John, CEO of John Arms. On the train, all is uneventful until a plane overtakes at low altitude and two heavily-armoured men jump out, their rollerblades helping them slow down after landing. Dingus and the two nearby soldiers attack, but the second they take the two men down there is a large explosion ahead of the train. A large section of track has been destroyed, and the train quickly derails.

Dingus, lightly injured after being thrown from the now-capsised train, attempts to gather his forces only to find there are only three left conscious other than himself. As three more men with similar kit to the rollerbladers encountered earlier approach, a van pulls up and a small team of what almost look like mad science projects step out. Their uniform seems to have a base of traditional BDU and body armour, but the metal extrusions and other technology attached to their head and arms sets them apart from a standard military. They immediately fire on the armoured rollerbladers as their leader, the cloaked robot leg man Dingus saw in the Vatican Complex, heads right for the container supposedly housing the weapon.

Dingus follows, taking his remaining squad with him. He surrounds the man, who announced that he isn't Dingus' enemy and that "these guys are". As he finishes the sentence, he telepathically brings a rollerblader's body to his hand and takes off the armour, revealing them to be agents of the catholic church. Dingus begins to ask who the man is, but before he can finish the body is thrown right at him as his squad's weapons are plucked from their hands. The van swiftly picks him up as he casually takes the whole-ass shipping container with his telepathy.

### Chapter 5 - The Debt of Dingus

Two months later, Dingus (now in crippling debt after letting the weapon get stolen) is given another order by John John. It's clear John John has been using the debt to extort free mercenary work out of the New Dingus Soldiers, and Dingus has had enough. He gathers his (now slightly larger) squad and drives to John Arms HQ.

Upon reaching the building, Dingus orders his entire squad to take the back door as he "can take these nerds". As they follow the order, he casually fights his way through the entire building - The guards of which are using all of John Arms' strongest products against him (including a tank that somehow got to the 4th floor).

Finally, Dingus reaches John John's office only to see the mystery robot leg man there with him. He says "whoops, guess I am your enemy now" and throws a desk at Dingus. They fight for a little while, before Mechapriest of all people (though with seemingly even more "mecha" than "priest" compared to last time) enters the office asking about "that Dingus deal". The mystery dude instantly spins around and shoots John John in the head before turning to Dingus and saying "whoops, guess I'm still not your enemy" as the two team up to beat Mechapriest's ass.

Once the Mechapriest issue is resolved, the mystery man takes off his hood to reveal he has the face of Dougie D. Wabblo. He states that he was a clone of Dougie made by the Church to fight the real one, but lost and had his legs crushed. The Church gave him new robot legs and psychic powers, but in the time it took to do that he decided not to work for them anymore and left to start his own thing. Dingus asks what to call him and the man responds "Dougie II".

### Chapter 6 - Conflict

Chapter 6 takes place after another timeskip. Two years later, there is a lot of war in the US as the states decide to become less united. Dingus, Dougie II, and Mechapriest (now known as Mechadude after being excommunicated) are working together at the top of the New Dingus Army. Currently, the NDA (which has grown to a few hundred members, some of which have been trained in lesser psychic powers) are working for North Dakota where their job is to defend from the invading Minnesota. Dingus, having been issuing orders from a trench for the past few weeks, gives up and says "I'll just finish it now in a second". He takes his weapons (including what he stole from the Vatican Complex and the energy beam prototype previously stolen by Dougie II) and heads over the top.

After singlehandedly fighting an entire front like a madman (and fighting the Minnesotan Army's prototype Mobile Suit), Dingus reaches the trenches on their side and jumps in.

### Chapter 7 - Resolution

This chapter starts immediately where Chapter 6 left off: Dingus is now in the Minnesotan trenches and is looking for Dr Minnesota, the leader of their army. Unluckily for him, he steps on a twig so the entire army is alerted to his position.

Dingus fights through the rest of the army (who aren't laser proof, sucks to be them) and reaches the bunker where Dr Minnesota is hiding. As he approaches the door, a gunshot is heard from within. Dingus opens the door only to find Dr Minnesota already dead at the hands of the Pope, who quickly ninja-smoke-bombs away.

### Chapter 8 - Religious Freedom

Two weeks after the events of the Minnesota-North Dakota war, the NDA are invading the Vatican City. Dingus gets a text from an unknown number containing nothing but coordinates and "alone". He goes to said coordinates alone, only to find the Pope holding a sword. The Pope passes a second sword to Dingus saying "We'll duel like men", but Dingus just shoots at him. To his surprise the Pope slices the bullet in half, takes out a grapple gun, and quickly grapples to a heavily-armoured helicopter as it flies overhead. Through a loudspeaker, he says "Fine fuck you I didn't want to duel like men anyway" and starts bombarding the area as well as summoning rollerblade soldiers.

Dingus narrowly avoids death, only by realising the power of MAXIMUS FULL DINGLE MODE in what otherwise would've been his final moments. The Pope's helicopter explodes, then the Pope also explodes because he was a robot Pope. Having accidentally revealed that the Catholic Church has been run by some random guy with a remote control for the past who-knows-how-long, Dingus decides it's time to leave and leaves.

## Reception

Critics praised DOUG STUDIO's ability to work within a completely new genre, but some felt the ending could've done more. Concerns were voiced that the ending was anticlimactic, and that there were better ways to lead into the soon-announced Douggle Unlimited X.
