Meet cute characters, steal their trash, and throw them in a hole. So, want something short and refreshing to play between the longer games or service titles you’ve been playing lately? Give Donut County a try.Named 2018 iPhone Game of the Year by the Apple App Store team!ĭonut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. The game isn’t exactly a long affair though, around an hour and 45 minutes long. The humour is on point and the short intermezzo’s of story between levels means both story and gameplay never overstay their welcome. If you are looking for a short, relaxing and visually pleasing game then Donut County is one to try. Some extra levels and more engaging and difficult puzzles wouldn’t have hurt the game at all. It’s an adventure in full speed never taking the players time for granted. It’s a funny little addition to the game, to break the pace as the game does move quite quick. The trashopedia, where you log stuff which you’ve devoured with your gaping holes in the ground, tries to explain items that seem like trash to raccoons. Seeing BK not even pretend to be anything but a completely unreliable raccoon makes for hilarious conversations. ![]() The jokes are often corny and the conversations happening at the campfire often put a smile on my face. Something which makes this game click is the fact it doesn’t take itself too seriously. This is when you’re nearing the end of the game and can start finding a way out. The moment you reach level 10 the game returns to present day and all stories of the residents of Donut County have been told. Level 10 grants the player access to a Quadcopter. Your goal in the game is to reach level 10 in a mobile game. Luckily it was quickly followed up by a fun cutscene so I quickly forgot about it. This led to some levels that left me feeling ”Is this it?”. Some levels did feel too easy, most of them were on the easy side. Which, to be fair, isn’t that difficult as the game is less than two hours long. Thanks to the short and, mostly, well designed levels the game never outstays its welcome and keeps engaging from start to end. Puzzles includes silly things like consuming a frog and catapulting it to catch bees or swallowing entire houses with your hole. Each level is introduced by a character in the story explaining how they ended up in the situation they are in now. Fun and inventive puzzles levels are alternated with pieces of story. The gameplay of Donut County exists of solving puzzles by controlling a hole in the ground that grows the more it consumes. The story takes us along a mobile game addiction, the plans of the Trash King and a cast of great characters. and more importantly how we’re going to get out! This is where our journey begins, to find out how we’ve ended up this far down the surface. We then zoom out and we see the residents of Donut County sitting around a campfire. Mira had smashed BK’s drone, a Quadcopter, and obviously BK is livid. ![]() We then move on in time and end up a few weeks later, when Mira and BK are fighting in some kind of underground cave. When Mira is texting her boss, a raccoon running a donut shop, telling him how she had no sleep thanks to this honking person in the neighbourhood the raccoon named BK tells her he’ll make sure the honking goes away. This isn’t the start of Untitled Goose Game, but the beginning of a donut mystery. Story: A raccoon and his phoneĭonut County starts when Mira, one of the two main characters in the game, is tired because she’s been honked awake by a loud person in the street honking away. It’s a puzzle game perfect to end a stressful day or week. So I went with something equally corny.ĭonut County is a short colourful game set in, you’ve guessed it, Donut County. But, that would’ve been a sign of creative poverty this game doesn’t deserve. That would’ve been my “holey” unoriginal subtitle for this review.
