A strange and charming little game 0
Donut County is a pretty weird game, it's really short (around 2 hours of gameplay max), it has a simple idea: you control a hole on the ground, and your job is to put that hole under things to swallow them, each time you get something inside, the hole increases, giving you more options to swallow next. Between levels, the story has some really charming and funny dialogue.Most of the game takes place deep down on earth, where the characters (animals) accuse BK of putting them there with his donu...

Donut Create Push 0
Allow me to fall into the trap of talking about what this game isn't.I had high hopes for Donut County, a Katamari-style game where you control a hole that grows as things fall into it. Only, it's not done in the style of Katamari at all, not really. It's more of a puzzle game with Katamari trappings. Sure, Katamari games are split into discrete levels, but this goes even further, with fairly minute levels containing a couple of puzzles involving a specific set piece. There's no freedom to expl...

Donut County: A Little Hole Goes a Long Way 0
Playing Donut County is just like eating a donut: It's sweet, cathartic, and when you finish you wish you had more.For those uninitiated, in Donut County you play as a hole in the ground with the goal of swallowing everything in sight. As you gobble more items, the size of your hole increases, to the point where you can swallow entire buildings, mountains, and unsuspecting local folk. It's a cute concept, one apparently inspired by Peter Molyneux and that some have called a twist on Katamari Dam...

[iOS] The Little Hole That Could (Create and Destroy Friendship) 0
Note: The game was played on an iOS device."Donut County" is a brief and heartwarming story about a girl, a racoon, and a hole.The game's hook is very straightforward and easy to understand. You start each 'story arc' as a tiny hole and its size gets bigger as the hole continues 'eating' objects littered throughout the stage. The game will occassionaly shift and expand its perspective, while adding new gimmicks of "hole + object = new way to interact" as the story progresses.The game sometimes f...

A short charming adventure that feels much more at home on a phone than the PS4 version I played. 0
But before I get into that let me give you a quick recap of what’s going on in the small town shop Donut County. Our protagonist BK the raccoon has a app that he has been using to deliver “donuts” to customers. But what they really get is a controllable hole in the ground that then gobbles up everything in a nearby radius. Things start to spiral out of control once most of the town gets sent underground. Thus most of the story is told via flashbacks and has a lot of silly qui...

A Hole Lot of Charm 0
Donut County is an interactive experience that gets by almost entirely on it's charm. The game itself is exceptionally simple - put some stuff in a hole, the hole gets bigger, put more stuff in the hole. The game is backed by a down tempo soundtrack packed with relaxing acoustics that meshes perfectly with the simplistic pastel-esque graphical style. The story follows human Mina and her coworker/boss BK (a raccoon) swallowing the entirety of Donut County and it's anthropomorphic citizens with a ...

Goofball City 0
What a funny little game. I love it. This is in many ways the polar opposite to Gorogoa, which is very stern and serious and lacks characters altogether while still establishing character thru setting. That said, the games both build worlds that feel "lived in" and contribute deeply to your enjoyment of the fiction. The handful of puzzles here are very simple but fun to complete.You play as a hole that needs to consume everything on the map. You get bigger as you consume, so you have to get the ...
