    Charming and funny, but too short (under two hours for a single playthrough).

    Good, simple and relaxing game, the dialogue is pretty funny as well and the platinum is easy to obtain.

    Fun little indie game with a goofy story and silly gameplay that does not overstay its welcome.

    Story didn't give a s*** characters didn't give a s*** gameplay be came tedious fast. I don't think the game is bad I just didn't find it engaging at all. At least I didn't use a lot of money on it

    Donut County kept me smiling at it's goofiness and kept me entertained with it's oddly addicting sink-hole gameplay through the entirety of it's 2-hour runtime. Despite knowing very little about the characters or the world I ended up liking both and wanting to see more. At at the end of the day however, Donut County feels more like a great proof of concept rather than a full-blown game andDonut County kept me smiling at it's goofiness and kept me entertained with it's oddly addicting sink-hole gameplay through the entirety of it's 2-hour runtime.

    As short and simple as it is fun. It has dialogues and a carefree and very random plot that keeps you attentive enough not to get bored throughout the levels.

    Short little game, got it on sale for $5 but i don't think its worth the money at full price at most a game like this should only be about $8 so wait for it to go on sale before buying

    Donut County has remarkably little depth. The game was made by a very small team (and props to them, they did a lot of things well.) However, the game was VERY short and VERY simple, which in my mind calls into question the price tag of $12-15. It is overpriced for that much. I got it on sale for $5, which felt like a justifyable price. My issue is that the game has a solid art style, goodDonut County has remarkably little depth.

I got it on sale for $5, which felt like a justifyable price. My issue is that the game has a solid art style, good writing, and servicable gameplay, so why not make it longer? I'm no game dev, but I feel like they finished most of the hard stuff by getting the physics right, solid character models and environment assets, etc. I feel like designing a few more levels, even if they recycled some stuff, would bolster the value of the game and bring up the quality of the package. As it stands, however, donut county is a 7 out of 10 game for what you get, but what you get isn't enough.… Expand

    A non-sense indie arcade game that recalls Katamari Damacy's gameplay style but falls too short to be remembered.

    You’ll see everything Donut County has to offer in the few hours it takes to finish. Like a doughnut: short but sweet. [Issue#154, p.97]

    Donut County is short. It has little to no replay value. It feels like it squanders a great deal of its potential. And yet, Donut County is still one of the best games I’ve played this year. You may only get a few hours out of Donut County, but they’re a few great hours.
