    To go for the lazy metaphor, Donut County is like a delicious pastry. It’s baked with the kind of care you’d only get from a homemade dessert. Maybe they could have been a little more liberal with the jelly filling, but it’s a fantastic treat regardless. Modest yet satisfying, it’s the perfect go-to if you’re craving something sweet.

    Donut County is a pretty simple puzzle game that has a lot of charming and fun puzzles, but won’t strain your brain to complete. While I had a great time with the under two hour story, I feel like there are a lot more places this game could have gone before it felt repetitive and tired. I find myself wanting more levels and characters to swallow. With a great visuals and sound, it’s pretty impressive that this was made by one person, I just wish he made more.

    Nobody should miss the chance to try Donut County, and I hope that if there are new ideas and its creator will give us a sequel.

    Donut County is a bizarre experience, but it is one that is well worth having, so much so that there is no other game out there right now with this level of personality. The balance between charming characters, environments and a story that manages to be goofy yet impactful makes it truly special.

It is based on theI believe that the original idea behind this game was to create a simple yet interesting product for MOBILE devices. It is based on the popular genre of "eating hole" which was very popular 1-2 years ago. Nevertheless, the Donut County is a little gem, even played on Xbox or any other platform. The characters are simple and hilarious, the story is very funny and refreshing. Indeed, it is a short game (approx. 2h long) but this type of game has to be short because of its simplicity.
    Overall - I found it on accident in Xbox GamePass and felt in love on the first sight.

    9/10, could've been a little longer (I wanna spawn just one more hole...).    … Expand

It isn't a very lengthy game which is perfect for an indie game based on a simple gimmick. The puzzle aspect of them game could've been expanded on slightly, but what was included was tame, and just diverse enough to keep it interesting. The sound design backs the game very well, with satisfying confirmation audio and a nice track full of little tunes.… Expand

Sobre todo el mapache BK, antagonista a ratos y héroe en otros y que es odioso y adorable a partes iguales. Los diálogos para encariñarnos con todos sus personajes son muy graciosos, haciendo numerosas bromas con ese estilo de juego basado en crear hoyos en el suelo y destruir el escenario diferenciado de cada pantalla. Sin tener mucho que hacer, es fácil conseguir todos sus puntos de logro o el platino, dependiendo de la plataforma.

    Una sorpresa muy agradable que espero tenga continuación con mayor presupuesto y opciones jugables.    … Expand
