    It's an ok game. Ideally, you should play this game on mobile and on the go, because I think I would've enjoyed the game more, as a "distraction" and "time waster". There are some interesting level designs, especially the latter half, but overall the game just feels too "elementary and basic" for me to enjoy fully.. As a mobile game it's decent, as an base game... it's just ok.

    Donut County is a cool little game that will entertain you for a short few hours. Pretty relaxing with some light puzzles, simple mechanics and a couple missable achievements that extend the game slightly, if you choose to go for them.

    Excesivamente corto y simple, más sus personajes tienen tal carisma que merece la pena disfrutarlo. 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 escenarioExcesivamente corto y simple, más sus personajes tienen tal carisma que merece la pena disfrutarlo.

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

    A charming and bizarre little game that you can finish in one sitting without too much trouble. It's described as a physics-based puzzle game, but in reality, you don't really have to use your brain all that much, the game practically plays itself. The majority of screens can be completed in two minutes; the only real "level" is the last stage, which is also the most interesting one,A charming and bizarre little game that you can finish in one sitting without too much trouble.

    In conclusion: If you have Game Pass and are looking for a cute little distraction for one or two hours, definitely give this a try (it's only 600 MB, too). Otherwise, I would probably only grab this on sale, unless you are really into bizarre Indie games and don't mind the short playtime.    … Expand

    Donut County delivers satisfying gameplay backed by a silly, ever expanding story. 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.

    É um jogo de puzzle para passar o tempo, você termina em uma hora. Os puzzles são divertidos e relaxantes, a história não tem nada demais, mas mesmo assim, dá uma chance, está disponível na Xbox Game Pass

    Donut County was an absolute delight to play on Game Pass U. It's strangely satisfying to make everything fall through a dark hole. It's only the game was too short.

    Игра- неочем, весь геймплей однотипный. Только в конце появляется намек на головоломку. Сюжет тут есть, но он скорее для детей, которые идут в 1 класс, для них сюжет покажется классным. Местами интересные диалоги. Если пропустите игру- ничего не потеряете.Игра- неочем, весь геймплей однотипный. Только в конце появляется намек на головоломку.

    Way too much talking for me. Got bored around 2/3 of the way through. The game’s mechanics and puzzle elements are good but sorry to say that I lost interest.

    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.

    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.

    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.
