    The hole mechanic is wonderfully executed and I loved destroying a small town. Funny characters progress the story in amazing ways.

    When I first saw this game I thought, "Well, that looks weird and I will not play that". I heard some good things later and gave it a go. Typically, I play larger, open-world games and shooters and "smaller" games like this one haven't really popped up on my radar.

    Donut county tells a cute and funny story. The puzzles are not hard and it took me about two hours to beat it. I don't think that's wrong. It's like going to a cinema, you pay for the single experience. There is a cut scene after every level which allows characters to be more fleshed out and I warmed up to them. Even tough it's a short story, I really felt something after these two hours.Donut county tells a cute and funny story. The puzzles are not hard and it took me about two hours to beat it.

    This is a more relaxing and zen kind of Katamari Damacy game. Low challenge in the gameplay but I do not believe it was the point either. Cute little "Sit back on the couch and relax" kind of game.

    A cutesy, short and to the point game reminiscent of Katamari Damacy. Bright colors, silly, irreverent dialogue and text descriptions and nothing but the raw satisfaction of playing with object physics and slowly clearing an entire map.

    Although the game is short (about 3 hours long), and too easy, Donut County is a hilarious, beautiful, and creative game. The game play is clever, and the story is great. Definitely worth the price of entry.

    Donut County é uma experiência muito agradável e divertida, que foi indubitavelmente feita com todo o amor do seu criador. Algumas imperfeições, porém, impedem que o jogo seja excelente.

    It's a little short but has a very good artstyle, music and very funny characters. With 2 hours it's really short but in a sale i would consider this as a must buy for everyone who loves short linear indie games with fun game mechanics

    Gameplay is super simple, but the story is a lot of fun. The game itself gets pretty repetitive pretty quickly, but the story makes you want to play longer.

    Simply amazing game to play, although short for the price it's hard to beat. Worth every penny if on sale

    Прошёл игру за час. Крутой симулятор дыры с сюжетом, юмором и даже игрой слов в диалогах.

    Um jogo para passar a tarde (3-4 horas de gameplay). Gostei particularmente dos diálogos e da voz robótica quando tem as falas. O desenho é bem bonitinho também. É um jogo felizinho.

    Loved every second of it. The best game that happened to me that year. I mean, you sometimes just want to be a black hole sucking everything in and talk to cute animals. I don't blame you!

    It's a very short, very easy point and click game. I've 100%ed this, achievements and all, within 3.9 hours according to Steam's playtime indicator and that includes some distractions here and there including a quick look at an achievement guide. With that said it's delightfully fun and has a very funny, lighthearted and quirky sense of humour.

    There's not much to comment on if you've watched the trailers. You're getting exactly what it says on the tin and I had zero technical issues. There's no real replayability past achievement hunting so keep it in mind that this is very much a one and done experience, not that that's unappreciated.

    I got this for 70% off during the Steam 2021 winter sale (£3.08 as opposed to £10.29) and I'm very happy with my purchase. I think I would've been disappointed with the runtime if I paid full price, but I've paid that much for far less entertaining cinema trips in the past so, y'know. I definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    Witness the catastrophic events that transpire over the course of Donut County as you wreak havoc by taking control of BK’s all-devouring hole in a surprisingly enjoyable title I didn’t expect to love this much.

    Core gameplay becomes wearisome with time, but fortunately the game is short (3 hours tops) and the developer tried to vary the levels with additional mechanics. If you need something to make you smile and want to escape from your responsibilities by focusing on simple tasks, this little indie game can be fun. [11/2018, p.72]
