Great fun, reminds me of Katamari Damacy. I would love it it were a little bit longer (maybe add a free play mode where you start small and end up swallowing the whole of Donut county.) The only other quibble I have with the game (and this is only because I’m comparing it to Katamari Damacy) is the hole-size seems to go up pretty arbitraril. Like there is a little wiggle room in the order you can swallow things, but not a whole lot. This is more of a puzzle game (duh, that is the category it is listed in) than an open world game like the one I keep mentioning. Good game. Will buy as a gift for friends, especially if on sale.

I know it’s been said before but here I am saying it again. Look I don’t often write reviews but I felt like it was a must after seeing it obtain game of the year. This game has great visuals great gameplay. And even though I wish it was longer I even bought the windows version on steam to play it there. It serves as a great time killer when I’m just sitting around or taking a long drive with my dad and he’s listening to either music or on his phone (Bluetooth of course). Wish it was on google play so I could get it there too. Other then that great job team on making a fantastic game and congratulations on the award!

Cool concept, too little content. The positive reviews of this game are spot on. It’s creative, unique, and has a cute story. At the same time, the negative reviews are accurate too. There is way too little content here - maybe a few hours at most - and the game can be finished in one sitting. The “puzzle” elements are extremely simple and though they add to the “hole” mechanic they do little to add any challenge or depth. I also struggled to find any replay value here. More content could save Donut County and a big price drop may make it worth the investment for new players, but otherwise there are more deserving apps out there that will keep you entertained much longer for the money.

Game of the Year? Really?. Literally 95% of the game time is reading dialog (which doesn’t even stand out). I challenge anyone who plays this to get through the entire game without resorting to rapid two-fingered tapping just to get past the ever-lengthening dialogs. The game also has some pretty basic bugs that you’d think wouldn’t be in a GotY. For example, you can mute sound and music, as in most games, but that won’t stop it from blaring loud and proud on startup. Overall, a neat mini-concept, but not enough to make an enjoyable game on, and certainly not enough for a GotY. I’m starting to think that the process of choosing these types of awards might be a lot less objective than it should be?

Maaaybe wait for a sale. I don’t mean to diminish the work the creator put into this game, but typically mobile games that cost money are expected, at least in this day and age, to last a while. Maybe more content will eventually be added? But honestly, if this did as well as I think for Esposito, he is probably busy making his next interesting game. The mechanics are spot on, the game looks good, and the story is just silly enough without being eye-rolling. What is here is really good, but for less than a hour and a half of a game, it’s hard to recommend this at the current price of $5. If new content is added I’ll consider amending this rating.

Incredible, simply incredible.. EDIT: please make a donut county 2, I WILL PAY. Donut county is an incredibly designed indie game. It’s a puzzler/story that grips you from the second you start all the way up until you swallow your very last item. HOWEVER I feel that $4.99 is a lot to pay for a game that ends within an hour of purchase. I beat it three times the day I bought it. Please give use more county’s, maybe the trash king has taken his raccoons to the big city in search of endless heaps of trash? You could start humble swallowing tiny nyc rats moving up to the Empire State Building over time? I don’t know, but I DO need MORE!! Excellent concept and amazing implementation.

Cannot find support for problem. Ok. I’m not very good at games. I don’t play them very much. I bought this game because it looked cute and the review said it was easy. However I seem to be stuck at one point and I cannot find any help for this problem. I looked for support in the description of the app but it only took me to a page that my browser said was not secure. It seems to me that if I pay for an app there should be support for it. Very disappointed! The place I’m stuck is in the scenario with the retired people that look sort of like horses who like to watch bunnies. I put all the small things I can into the hole and the only thing that seems to be left is a pot which is too big to fit into the hole. If anybody wants to enlighten me about what to do please and thank you.

Oddly satisfying, want more!!. I loved the game, loved the story. It was nonsensical and fun! It’s weirdly satisfying swallowing everything up. I beat the game rather quickly, I just wish there was more! I played through twice hoping to find something I missed the first time but alas, no Easter eggs that I could find. I’ll keep looking out for updates, and maybe quests or objectives for beaten levels (hint hint!)? Maybe an order to swallow up objects, time goals, etc. Definitely not for the first play through though, as part of the fun is taking your time immersing yourself in the story and fun of growing and destroying, and adding other objectives to think about would take away from the initial experience. But I hope they make some incentives to play through again! I’ve been enjoying playing random levels here and there but want something to work for. I guess I’m just sad it’s over! Great game, I love it and so does my 5 year old. Definitely a WIN!!!

Fun, but my lord, tiresome dialog. My son and I really enjoyed the hole aspect of the app, sucking down people and rocks and such. Very inventive, fun, reminiscent of Katamari. BUT the vast majority of the game is spent in text/sms like dialogs with wooden characters. Nearly impossible for us to enjoy, because the characters are truthfully pedantic and/or annoying. The reviews seem to indicate this is the reason to play the game, but I found the dialogs endless and repellent. Key to having characters that are relatable is to see them grow- and these characters spend the vast majority of their dialogs whining or complaining about... the same things over and over again. Worst part? Can’t skip the cut scenes to get the fun.

How do I get my money back?. This game is too expensive and seriously rated to high for what it is. I’m always down for mindless entertainment but this is engaging for about 5 mins until you realize it doesn’t get any better fast! The storyline is unbelievably pointless to the game play. You have to sit through what it seems like the developer thinks is clever banter between characters. I just hurried through the speech as much as possible. The game could have been redeemed if the only part of the gameplay was the hole that engulfs the levels you play and it got more and more difficult. Unfortunately that doesn’t really happen and then you have to go back to the pointless and absolutely terrible script that is the storyline between the characters. Seriously, how do I get my money back?

Leaves you wanting more. This game is short. It takes a little while to realize you can control the hole from anywhere on the screen so you don’t hide the animation with your finger. Those are my only complaints. The control feels good, the music is awesome, the story hangs together with dream logic, the trashopedia is almost worth the entire price of entry, and the dialog is silly but still conveys real chemistry/friendship between the main characters. My only complaint is that I have to wait and se what Mr Esposito does next! (Annapurna, keep doing what you’re doing to find these games to publish.)

Charming and worth your time!. This smooth, charming, very short game is a great deal at $5. You can tell a lot of care went into every second of the 1-2 hours it takes to finish. Like many others, I wish there were more of it, just because the physics and mechanics are so brilliant. Replaying a level plays out more or less identically; it would have been great to have some kind of a sandbox mode that lets you swallow up objects in a specific time frame, or one that starts small and get ridiculously big across different environments, like the Katamari Damacy series. It seems like a small team, so they went quality over quantity, which I appreciate. I also liked the writing. It’s a little “millennial,” but so knowing about modern text parlance that you know the writers knew exactly what they were doing. For the record, that “other game” that cloned the hole mechanics of Donut County a few months back is a piece of garbage, like something the raccoons in Donut County would collect. There’s no comparison. Play this one instead!

I’m gonna be real here. in short: i really looked forward to this game more than i enjoyed it. It was by no means a bad game, i really did like it. the story was really cute and i love the concept. the art is beautiful, i love the music, all of it. it’s great. but it’s too easy and WAY too short. i mean, for $5, you expect a lot more on a mobile game. a $5 game on mobile is a lot for most people. and i really hate to say, but i’ve thoroughly enjoyed free games for much longer than this lasted me. now if we could get one with some more content and some more challenging puzzles, or really anything more, it would be a lot more satisfying. This was a cute game, but not really worth $5 in my opinion, and i hate to say this about a good indie title that had this much work into it, but i really don’t think this one deserved game of the year. it just leaves you feeling like you missed half the game, wondering “i wonder how much longer 5 games that cost $1 would last me” i hate to be so negative because i really did enjoy it. but i think it was mostly hype, and not enough content.

Beautiful graphics, but extremely short for the money spent.. I will say that this game had lovely graphics. However, for the price paid I was expecting a longer, more open ended game play. Perhaps the developer will add more content down the road, so far I haven’t seen that happen. I’m tempted to look into getting my money back and removing the game though due to the fact I kind of feel the amount was too much for such a short lived game play. I will give it a little while and then possibly ask for a refund either through the developer or through the App Store itself. Please be warned that this game can be completed in its entirety within a day or so depending how much time you have to play it. I do hope to see the game expanded on sooner rather than later.

Feeling slightly cheated. Cute story, but goodness, my 9 year old and I finished it in a little over an hour and there is nothing new to discover on a replay. I mean, I guess I spend over $5 on movie tickets, but on a mobile device $5 usually goes a lot farther. It feels that they wrote a clever short story and didn’t put much time into the actual game. Kid and I were both disappointed that the puzzles were not puzzling and the hole-sucking was not even slightly challenging. We’d heard the comparisons to Katamari, but this was as if the prince and everyone talked a heck of a lot more and you had to stop each level after rolling 8 objects. The dialogue was funny, but not funny enough to replay. Wait til this goes on sale or risk feeling let down and unfulfilled, like us right now.

Great Game! I have Some Ideas! (Plz Read). You should add a Level Creator where you can use all the different types of trash you’ve collected and also connect to levels that other people have created. The game Is Amazing and I’ve played through the whole thing, which is why I came up with this, because there’s not much to do when you win. You could also add mini games like one where you can hold arrows with a catapult and shoot Moving targets above. When you hit a target it falls and you level up your hole to the point where you shoot bigger targets. This whole thing could have a time limit so you can see how big you can get. One more idea is an infinite mode where you can swallow the entire universe, I don’t know how this would work, because eventually it would have to stop. Unless your hole could fly. Well, thanks for reading my review. 5-Stars! I hope you can add my ideas to the game. If you add any of my ideas could you please mention my me in the update log! Thank You!

An exciting experience. The game is polished, inventive, charming, humorous and fun. While I was playing, I thought of all of the time I put into Katamari Damacy back in the day. It has similar quirky vibes. If you’re okay with dropping some coin on a quality game, I recommend it. The entire experience from start to finish is under two hours. At the end of the game you can go back and replay any of the stages. I wish there were a bonus stage or stages where you can zen out and pick up tons and tons of objects. Anything to extend the experience beyond the original game. I had such a wonderful time in Donut County that I want more.

Great 4 hour game. I beat and unlocked everything within 4 hours. If it wasn’t for the fact that the game was beautiful in every single way I would of given it 2 Stars. It needs and screams for more levels. You start at level 9? Where is the progress before that? I get that fits into the story but the story honestly wasn’t what kept me playing and I felt like there was just as much dialogue as there was gameplay. I was only mildly stumped twice on the last two levels but I didn’t expect much of a challenge anyways because the game has kind of a kid feel to it. All in all if your 8-14 this game is great, beautiful and comical. Not much of a time waister.

Visually amazing but.... Ok, so basically the game is very beautiful with lovable, adorable characters and the game play is almost addicting BUT for a game that costs 4.99 you would expect it to last you a while, especially it being an indie title but that was not the case here sadly. The game is easily completable 2 times over in a single day if you wanted to. Not only that but the game play is more limited than i expected although i guess i should’ve expected that in story game. By “limited” i mean, i expected you to be able to free roam the whole town maybe after completing the story mode but that was not the case. After complaining the game you can replay past levels which are pretty short and not something i’ve ever felt like doing again. If a “free roam” feature was added, i think that would make this game something i could go back on and play every now and then. overall i would recommend this to a friend if only the price was much lower given its current version

Expected it to be longer with more mechanisms. Let's be straightforward here. For a Game of the Year, I expected more. This game has the graphics and (initially) interesting gameplay that earned itself this prestigious title. But not only is the game incredibly short (composed of 25-ish levels that on average take a few minutes each to complete), the gameplay fails to evolve over the course of the story. Play mechanism involves a hole and later on, a catapult, but it has so much more potential than just two tools. The game could use a second part of reconstructing the city, as the ending felt rushed. Overall, a slight disappointment and a bit overpriced.

lush and weird. my housemate and I are still cackling, hours later, about the line “it’s one thing to own a chicken, but two chickens...that’s two things.” all the jokes are absolutely top-notch and not in a Weird Twitter kind of way in an observational humor and non-human priorities kind of way that will age really well and still be funny years and years from now. watching things fall into the Hole (tm) is deeply satisfying. buildings fracture along believable load bearing lines when you stick part of the Hole (tm) under them. watching long skinny things topple in longways is also very very good. everything is so beautifully, lovingly rendered. this is one of the few low-poly style games that gets lighting Right. the soundtrack is a bop. It took me about an hour and a half over two sittings on my iPad to play this and it did get very hot, but! my iPad is a mini 2 and is very old. play this game. eat the world.

In 2023, a fair value for a price. A very charming game with a quirky storytelling and rather simplistic gameplay. It is true that it could be completed in single digit hours. I see that a lot of reviewers from back 2018 complained about the price of the game. Lo, behold how times have changed. This game is perfect value for five bucks. Nowadays it’s rather difficult to find a game in this genre which does not have some type of monetizing scheme or is charged less. On the other hand it’s not a must play. Figure it out for yourself but I am sure you won’t be regretting paying for it full price.

Need more game for the $$$. I’m given this game two and a half stars. I would easily give it 5 stars but there simply wasn’t enough content. There was more time spent looking at screens of animals talking than time spent playing the game. I would like to see a add on/update where you could be the bad raccoon and take down whole cities. Start with little wads of papers or candy wrappers small rocks and progress to sky scrapers. I didn’t like the story line and really just wanted to skip it so I could get to the whole hole parts. I feel I got bamboozled with the 4.99$ price tag for a game that I could have finished in 20 minutes if it didn’t have cut scenes. Add more and “Have a Garbage Day”

Fun and whimsical, though short. This game delivers pretty much what you'd expect: you play as a hole, swallowing up various objects in different painterly environments. The art style is delightful, the physics are good for the setting, and some of the puzzles are amusing - though all are very easy. There's only one way to finish any given level, which is (unsurprisingly) swallowing everything in it, sometimes with a physics puzzle or two first. I wasn't crazy about the story; the writing style seemed to me to be a little too in love with itself, particularly the way the characters often talked in texting slang. It was hardly offensive, though, just not really my thing. The whole game can be completed in a few hours, and sadly once you're done there's nothing left to do but replay the story. I'd love it if there were some kind of exploratory/sandbox mode, or perhaps some new challenges to complete in each level's setting. Really, I'd welcome any option that would allow me to spend more time swallowing up stuff in Donut County's charming environments. I don't regret my purchase, but I'm hopeful the developers will add something new and open-ended to give me a reason to come back to it.

Originally played this on Steam, but loved it enough to buy again. The main complaint from most people (including me) would be that the game is pretty short. It’s short enough that you can easily finish it in one sitting. However I’ve chosen to buy this twice, and I don’t think the $5 price tag is asking too much. The story is cute and funny, visuals and music are very nice and I love the concept. I’m a huge Katamari Damacy fan, and this is basically the reverse so there’s so much to love. I really hope this developer makes another game like this, it’s an incredibly relaxing, fun game.

One of my fav games I’ve ever played! ♥️. This game is a HOLE story of fun. I downloaded this game today and I’ve already beat the whole game! This game is super cute and the graphics are so good. I’ve never crashed or lagged in this game! It is also short and sweet. The parts where people are chatting (like when BK and Mira talk at the beginning) are super cute! i also love how you can trick the person by sending a duck emoji too and sometimes they start sending duck emojis back! Would definitely recommend this game! :) Keep up the good work, Annapurna Interactive! ♥️

Superior Storytelling Intertwined with Sinkhole Action. I was quite excited to play this game and waited a long time for it to come out. When it did, I had beaten it fairly quickly, in just two or three sessions, but don’t get me wrong. A short collection of levels doesn’t discredit how intricate and charming the base game truly is. Gathering around a campfire with fellow sink-hole-victims and learning about their whimsical backstories had me rather hooked on not only the cutscenes between actual gameplay, but the world I was introduced to interact in during the base gameplay. Everything about the game felt assembled flawlessly and revealed itself in a way that built upon the last mechanic. The puzzles themselves weren’t particularly challenging, however, deemed themselves as just the right amount of rewarding. Although I wish that there was more to do and see in this vibrant, low-poly atmosphere the developer has created, what is offered is seamlessly constructed in a unique, fresh sandbox with plenty of friendly faces to meet and greet. Beautifully done.

Good Game that makes me laugh. Wish it could be longer. Donut County is a fun game to play. It one of the few games that makes laugh from the dialogue. It's a very interesting story overall. My issue with it is it's not a long story and relatively easy to play. Therefore, I breezed through the game. It would be better if the game were longer or more challenging. It would also be better if there was some sort of post game as well instead of just seeing the credits every time. All in all, it's a good game but it's kind of short with little replay value after completing it

It was a good game but.... But I honestly don’t think it’s worth $4.99. It’s incredibly short and doesn’t have any actual “game play” like there are different levels but there isn’t a way to fail or even to play your own way. You just have to progress in the story the way that they want you to. Also it’s incredibly short, i finished this game in like an hour, and all you can really do when you beat it is start a new game (and do the exact same thing over again) or you can replay the levels you’ve beaten (thus doing the same exact thing over again). I was just expecting more out of an app that is so expensive. It’s really pretty, has a nice soundtrack and is nicely animated but it’s definitely not worth the high price.

Artistically Amazing. The art style in Donut County is truly so pleasant to look at, that alone could have kept my attention. The dialogue is written as if everyone is actually in a group chat, with grammatical errors for comedic effect and LOL’s used to display laughter. The actual gameplay is a little light, but it’s oh so fun to watch raccoons get sucked into a hole in the ground as they were sitting on the toilet. The overall experience is definitely worth $5, although it is a little short, you can beat it within 3 or so hours. Overall this is one of my favorite games of the year!

Stunningly awesome!!!. First played Donut County on the switch and LOVED it. And DC on mobile is just as amazing. The music, the Trashopedia entries, the characters, the gameplay itself.... It’s a fresh, relaxing, and totally captivating experience. This is a game that I’ll sit down and play when I need to distract myself from real life worries. Even though the story is super short (a couple hours at most), I find myself coming back over and over again to replay the levels because it’s just that fun and chill. The worst thing about this game is that it’s so short, but its many wonderful qualities totally justify the price and make it a 10/10 in my book.

Short but fun!. I really enjoyed this game. I found most of the jokes, dialogue, and “fun facts” highly amusing and even occasionally laugh out loud. It had quirky (mostly well-meaning) characters and a fun story with a beginning and end. There are a few puzzles here and there which I appreciate. My only issue with this game is that it’s short. I finished it in about 3 hours and it leaves you wishing for more... like a bottomless pit. For now I’ll settle with playing this game over and over to satisfy my craving to control a hole that swallows everything in sight.

Not really a game. This is a cute interactive story app, but it’s not really a game, which is disappointing. Most of the time spent in this app is reading dialogue which thinks it’s much funnier than it actually is. It’s not bad, but after the first few conversations of “LOL!” I wound up skipping through them to get back to the “game”. The game itself is really more of a very basic light puzzle, in which there are hardly any decisions to be made. More of an order of operation mechanic. If you realize a very large object does not fit in a small hole, and that you need to start with the smallest objects first before the hole gets bigger, you have figured out pretty much the whole game (at least the first hour of it, maybe it gets better somehow). The graphics and mechanics are well suited for toddlers and very young children, where as the forced dialogue is cringeworthy for anyone not thirteen years old. If you’re an adult who isn’t really a gamer and just want a cute thing to fiddle with, and have toddlers to keep entertained, this will be a great app. If you are looking for an actual game, this is not it.

Too Short for What It’s Worth. For $5, you wouldn’t expect a game this simple, short, and actually disappointing. There were only a few challenges when playing the game and that’s where it starts feeling like a rip off. There’s no real challenge give or take a few moments. And because of this ease, you blast right through the game and it ends somewhere really far from what a $5 game feels like it should’ve ended. You’re left wanting more as you just roam around at the end only having NEW GAME as your next option to have the same fun that drew you in. But then you just experience the same game again. And again. And again. I agree with the other reviews—this is a $0.99 game, not a $4.99 one; it’s priced as a meal, but sadly it’s just a snack. The jokes are funny and relatable, but the overall finished product feels unsatisfactory like it needs more story and game content.

Great game! Not $5 great.... The gameplay itself is ok in terms of how fun it is, but what kept me playing was the story. Sucking things into holes got monotonous quick, but the story and easy, but different, quirks that the levels had were pretty cool. Especially after you unlock the 1 gadget. The game took about 60-90 minutes to beat, and once you finish the story there is nothing else unless you want to start over. Would be a great $0.99 game, $5 for a 90 minute game feels like a waste to me. But congrats, you got my money. The music is very well put together, and I thought the way the characters interacted was pretty cool. They used a lot of texting slang, but the whole game was very lighthearted so it wasn’t a bother. Gave it a 3/5 mostly because of the very high price. Would change to a 5/5 if a lot more content is added.

Not Worth the Price. I really wanted to like Donut County. The art and gameplay was seemingly right up my alley and it felt somewhat unique. However, I left the game feeling like I was missing something. First of all, $5 is way too expensive for this game. I finished it in an hour and for a puzzle game, the puzzles were extremely easy. I went into the game expecting well done and challenging physics based puzzles. Instead, I only got a hint of that. There was so much potential from the elemental-based puzzles, but nothing different is ever done with them. The difficulty level of the game stays constant, at about a preschool level. Donut County is more of an interactive visual novel than a game, which would be fine if the story had any depth. Instead, the story is just a cutesy, pointless wall of text that I found myself clicking through. If this had been a $2 game, I think it would’ve been worth the price, but I seriously expected a lot more for $5, especially from a game that’s currently #1 in the puzzle section. Donut County can be summed up as lackluster in every thing that it tries to pride itself on.

Great game. I honestly loved this game. You could tell the person that made it put a lot of effort into it. The game may be short but it is of great quality. The gameplay easy and the puzzles somewhat simple but still requiring brainpower to figure out. The story was cute and funny. The levels aren’t repetitive because of the simple puzzles you need to figure out. I didn’t have a single level I got stuck on and all the game physics related to the hole worked well. It is a fair price for this great quality game.

Great but short. This game is downright revolutionary. For some strange reason swallowing the world up with a hole that gets bigger after everything you consume is satisfying and fun. The characters are memorable and i really love the development and story line. The puzzles are super great and unique and you feel really good when you complete them. The final boss puzzles were good, but I found them a bit lacking. The overall idea of getting the keys from some rooms to unlock others was a good idea, but the second key wasn’t a challenge. You just went to the next room and grabbed it. The boss fight was also pretty easy, and really short, as is the rest of the game. We just need more. A sequel, maybe an update with more levels. Anything. This game needs something to keep continuing the gameplay, as the levels are aren’t very fun to play again.

Best game i have ever played. This game is one of the cutest and fun game I have ever played the story was so good that it was almost like it was a movie but Evan better. you get to be in the movie it is so fun I recommend it for all ages. some of the funny parts are when you can send duck emojis also when they say lol all the time. if you are reading this before you play the game spoiler there just playing a video game, when I saw that i was amazed. what I would really like is if you could update the game and make a second part to it that would be really fun. but otherwise really fun and cute game!!!

Good game play. Pro A very relaxing game, very satisfying to sell a bunch of stuff falling into a hole. Interesting game play. Interesting concept of not only using the hole to swallow stuff, but also to push things out of it. The art style is amazing! Love the geometric shape of the characters. The car combination of color is very cute, and colorful. Even little kids can just play around with the hole. I like how when characters speak, the camera angle also switches. The game play itself feels like playing on a table that controls the holes. The way things move actually abides to physics, using the force of gravity to pull things into the hole. And by moving the hole under items, they tilt and slide in at an angle. Con The story is a bit too simple( and illogical, making the game kind of stupid, in a fun way), the dialogues seem weird and short. The game is kinda short, I finish it in 3 hrs. And now my head hurt. Conclusion A very good game! Definitely recommend this to kids from 5-100!

Too much dialog, too little gameplay. You move a hole along the ground and swallow things up. The more you swallow, the bigger the hole gets, so if you want to swallow up that car or house, you need to progress by first swallowing up those small rock and plants. There are a few puzzles to solve, but they are so simple that I am conflicted to even call them puzzles. The gameplay doesn’t really progress much past what I’ve described. Between levels you are treated to cutscenes. At first I thought they were cute, but they lack any real content... and they are LONG... way too long. It wasn’t very far into the game that I found myself clicking as quickly as I possibly could to skip the incredibly long cutscenes. The graphics are well done and the concept is sorta unique, but it seems like the developer came up with a good idea for a game and didn’t really know what to do with the concept. I am puzzled how this game has won as many awards as it has. Is it cute? Yes. Is it unique? Sorta. Is it a game that’s worth $5? IMHO, absolutely not.

Amazing concept and the visual design is amazing!!. WE NEED MORE!! This game is so charming. It is has many cool aspects incorporated into the game that just stimulate the senses in a different way like puzzle solving, critical thinking, virtual escape room aspects. Each level is so cleverly designed and it never goes the way I thought it would and I love that. The music is perfect for relaxing after a long day and playing something that is stimulating yet not stressful. It is perfect to play with my 5 year old because he is just learning how to read simple sentences. The trashopedia is very clever and Donut County players can quote these witty and hilarious descriptions for years. This game can be taken very far with multiple bosses, a continued storyline, more levels, and gadget upgrades to solve puzzles with! This game is a vessel that can handle so much and developed upon even more and I hope the developers decide to continue the story! It ended too quickly for me. I felt like this was going in the direction of something like an old video game like Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong, etc. My only complaint is that it ended much too quickly and I want to play this game all the time like Cooking Craze. We need Donut Country..! ...Donut WORLD!

Have a Garbage Day!. Donut County is easily one of the best games on the App Store. With all of the free to play trash on mobile, it is always nice to get a game that you can buy once and just play it. Donut County is exceptional with its great gameplay, creative mechanics, and energetic characters! Some people complain that the game is too short, but I like that this game can be beaten in a couple of hours so it can leave you with a short and sweet experience. I think that the game is so good, that I might even replay the whole thing. You guys are talented and care about your games, which seems to be less of a reality for most video game, and especially mobile game studios. Overall, this game is brilliant and is a must buy for anyone with a capable phone. I hope this game does like hot cakes, because more people need to play this!

3 out of 5. Here’s why…. As most reviewers state: the game is beautiful and fun. The concept is great and the environment is relaxing. However, the gameplay is mostly story-driven, way too short, and has no replayability to justify a rating higher than 3. Donut County is a wonderful concept that everyone should try and I think it’s worth the price tag. The biggest issue is there are very few levels that focus on our interaction and instead one must click through tremendous amounts of dialogue to get to the next level. I’d like to state that in and of itself that’s not a bad thing. But, I wanted to play a game where I’m mostly controlling a hole that swallows things up; and I didn’t fully experience that. Lastly, there is a Credits level that crashes every time I start and being that this game has been out for some time, I’m not sure the issue will be fixed.

Quality over quantity. As everyone else has already mentioned, yes the game is somewhat short, BUT the quality here is way above most other games in the app store. The dialogue is fun, the gameplay is fun, and the art looks great. Most reviewers on here sound so entitled. While this game only lasted me a day of off and on playing, it's a game I'll remember for a long time. I compare it to that of the game Portal. Portal was also a short game, but everyone loves it and an amazing full feature sequel was made! I'm sure in time, this creator will also launch a larger sequel. Until then, enjoy this gem.

cute, funny game. fun! wasn't expecting a story, but it turned out to be rather cute. the trashcyclopedia's flavor text was quirky and quoteable, and the game mechanics were crisp and easy to use. the few puzzles are da her straightforward though, and only really come out in force at the end of the game imo. only downside is it felt rather short for $5. i can't imagine how I would have felt if I paid the full pc/ps4 price for this game. truthfully, I was hoping for more of an open ended sandbox-style game where I get to slowly devastate a large map by hunting down things small enough for me to consume, then returning for buildings and skyscrapers. I won't detract bc that's just not what this game was, but I'd really enjoy something along these lines. hopefully we can get this as a patch or dlc or sequel?

Not enough content. I love the concept and gameplay, but it does cost a bit much for not that much content. I get that the 4.99 is how the developers make money, but for 19 relatively short collection levels, some extra story thrown in there, and a boss fight and then free range with the quadcopter afterwards (which is really slow so you can barely go anywhere), its enough to last you at least one day, you can maybe stretch it out to two if your lucky. You can replay the levels to your liking, and every level in the game is connected so you can get to them with the quadcopter. Theres not that much hole action in the game. The hole is used in almost all levels but that doesn't mean the hole is always present. The boss fight is pretty annoying too. Overall, its not as good as it's sought out to be.

Great game but ends very quickly. It’s hard not to immediately give donut county a 5 star review. The visuals are stunning, the story is impressive, and the gameplay is simple but fun. Sadly, I can’t give it the five stars I would give an app like this normally because of the price. This game takes maybe 2 hours to play all the way through and once you’re done it has very little replay value (except maybe to chuckle at some of the jokes). There’s not really an arcade mode or anything so once you’re done you’re really done. This has kind of been echoed by other reviews but basically when people pay 5 dollars for a game, they expect something that will engage them for longer (I think stardew valley is like 8 and Minecraft is like 7). I love this app and would easily rate it 5 stars if only it was longer

Is it really worth $5. Not really. I’d expect it to be a game to play long term, or have level/story updates. However, that’s not the case. Additionally, you can’t skip dialogue which I always prefer (especially for a simple game like this where I’m only really interested in actual gameplay). Most irritating thing is that there’s options for no sound and no music, but then I can’t play personal music on my phone at the same time as playing - the app automatically shuts off whatever music I have playing. Seems pointless to have no sound options if I can’t listen to my own music. Wish I could get a refund tbh

Great Game, needs more. First off I have to say, this game was a breath of fresh air as far as mobile games go, it has a creative and funny story as well as an excellent art design. There’s no in app purchases which I prefer, I tend to rather pay up front rather than pay to progress, but with a price tag at $5, you expect more out of it than you get. I completed the game in less than 2 hours. The game itself isn’t challenging but rather relaxing, which is great, unless it only last a short while. Over all I thing it’s a great game but not worth the $5 price tag. If it cost .99 or even 1.99, I would highly recommend purchasing it. (And please don’t even think about paying $12 to get the same exact game on Nintendo switch)

Levels. It’s awesome but you need more levels

Great concept, awful execution. I like dragging the hole around working out what fits which makes it grow. The levels are tiny with max 30 items to collect. Half the game is reading dialogue between levels, as the crazy little critters complain about the holes. Who starts a game with forced fake mobile conversation? You start at exp level 9 which makes no sense and have to buy an item with money that you some how have. Needs more free form open world levels, not this locked down to one screen which you play for a couple minutes.

Not a game. Interactive “story” at best.. I can’t see how this was named 2018 Game of the Year. It is an interactive story that requires virtually no skill. And the script of the character interactions read as if written by a child. Really disappointing and not worth the cost.

Free play. Hi love this game but once you are done with the levels can you add something that allows you to make your own town and use items from the trashopedia?

Boring. Boring, virtually no puzzling game play. Wouldn’t bother, especially for the price! 2 stars because the art and physics is kinda cool, novelty wears off after the first min. Played the game to completion hoping for some challenges, none eventuated. Wish it was better.

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD. I love this game so much! The controls fit quite well with handheld devices, the music is great, and the gameplay is so much fun!! I wish there were more levels though. It’s way too short! Maybe an expansion with more levels and a new story? Only time will tell. Edit: I found out the PC version actually has achievements, and now I kinda want that too. That’d be cool TL;DR: Everything about this game is great, a bit too short.

Cute ‘game’ but not a puzzle game. It’s not challenging at all... not really sure what the fuss is about (in saying that it’s a great game for toddlers my 3 year old loved it)

Dull. I found this game pretty slow and overall pretty disappointing for the price, the gameplay is turgid and there is a real absence of anything remotely challenging when it comes to the ‘puzzles’. Maybe it’s not really aimed at young adults, however the overtly complex dialogue and its exhaustive use throughout seems to suggest it is. There’s so much detail that could have been explored in so many ways to make this concept more challenging. Overall the concept is really creative but the execution is weak.

Quite short but fun. A trash panda (raccoon, an American possum) who owns a donut shop and is sucking everything down underground with a moveable hole that grows everytime you swallow something up! Finished it! Pretty short but fun and has some really funny mechanics.

Awesome!. Donut county is definitely worth the price The plot is very intriguing and the game is overall visually pleasing. It really gets you to think and once you’ve finished the game the whole story just comes together nicely! I would definitely recommend Donut county to anyone!

Great concept wasted. I expected a puzzle game that built up the difficulty to become a satisfying challenge. Instead the concept was never built upon. You swallow garbage with a hole.... and that’s about it. A few levels add sequence puzzles but they are far too obvious and clearly spelt out to be any real challenge. The story is also far too underdeveloped, reading more like the shallow text messages of a couple of millennials. Unfortunately the low poly artstyle and concept aren’t enough to carry this game above a mediocre score.

Great little game!. I read about Donut County in a magazine so I preordered it through the App Store, and it did not disappoint! Cool, funky graphics and the unique sounds for speech drew me in first. I’m a sucker for games that tell a story as well as being engaging play-wise, and Donut County hit the spot. I loved Mira and DK, their relationships, and the humour - a couple of interactions between characters made me laugh out loud! My initial concern that making holes would quickly become dull was abated within the first ‘level’ as you also solve basic puzzles. Even without the puzzles, making things disappear into a hole is strangely satisfying and calming! My only complaint was that it was so short for the amount of money it cost, hence 4 stars instead of 5. I got through it in a matter 2 hours, while other $8 games I’ve played have lasted at least 6 hours. Considering it was so short, however, I was very impressed with the attention to detail and clever usage of narrative, music and sound. Now please excuse me while I go back and replay my favourite level...

Mind blowing!. The art style, the story and the gameplay are enjoyable. Very, very enjoyable.

Rip off. This costs to much money but it’s fun and has lots of levels

Donut County. This is a really fun and entertaining game. It has no in game purchases (which I love) but excluding $7.99 you have to pay to get the app. Also, another thing I love is that it is very creative. My favourite part of it is when Mira destroys BK’s quadcopter and BK gets revenge by destroying the whole city. And the last thing I don’t like, LOVE is that it is a indie (cartoon sorta) game.

This is very silly and I like it.. I bought Donut County while it was on sale, and after playing all the way through, I’d describe it as a comedy more than anything else. The neat physics and clever puzzles are rather overshadowed by the goofy script and the absurd pleasure of making everything disappear down a huge plughole. There is even a collection of all items gathered, with amusing captions. Certainly the game is short, but it’s such a labour of love… and it succeeds in its primary purpose, which is to make you smile. However, as a game it is poor value for money, which is why it loses a star. The brief play time, light difficulty, and lack of replay value don’t sit well with the high price, so with regret I must advise would-be players to wait for another sale before buying this game.

Just good. It is good but I got the story half way through

Yes very good game. Very good game. Seams legit. Why doesn’t the raccoon have bleach

Great but .... Really fun little game but far too short. I started and finished in an afternoon. Far too short especially for the price.

Completely original game. I love this game so much. Not everybody will appreciate its charm I am sure. Very cute cool graphics and a funny story line with great one liners from the characters. Simple in terms of gameplay and easy to grasp. I did read in other reviews there was disappointment as it is on the shorter side... I think that is something to be expected with a game like this. A lot has gone into it and it can’t go on forever. I’d say it takes about two or three hours to complete roughly. It is fairly inexpensive so this hasn’t altered my review. Really enjoyable, fun and evident a lot of hard work went into making this. Would highly recommend.

It’s fun but short. I enjoyed the game it was fun but I finished it in like an hour of your going to make people pay $8 to play it at least make it last more than an hour in some ways I feel as though it wasn’t worth spending money on... which is a shame because the game it self was fun

Quirky, could not stop playing once I’d started.. BUT, it wasn’t long enough, maybe it was long enough because I thoroughly enjoyed it? Would be nice to have a second game with many more levels or an update to add more levels. Such a lovely game.

Not enough content for the price. Regretful purchase, it’s all over in an hour or two. Not challenging at all, it’s just a grind. You spend more time reading the dialogue in the cut scenes than you do playing the game. DON’T BUY IT

Absolutely awesome!. This game is so cool because you get to be a hole!!!! What’s not to love!!!!!!!!!!

Short. Well, the gameplay of the app is intriguing. Shame about the tawdry plot, though.

So short!. Looks great, feels great. But so short! For a game that’s not cheap, I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth...

Good but not long enough. Fun game, but very short for the price!

Waste of money. $8 for this. I finished it about 40 minutes. If you get it on sale for $1 worth it. But the story isn’t worth reading either. I skipped over it. Sad day when you support a developer and feel completely short changed

Waste of a good concept. The game looks great and was an interesting idea. Unfortunately they didn’t expand on it at all. You swallow objects... and that’s pretty much it.

Original but short. I love this game. It is totally original and fun to play. The storyline makes sense and the game is really easy to play. I know you have probably already read this ten times BUT it’s really annoying how short the game is, especially as it costs $8. You can finish the game in about 2-3 hours. PLEASE add like a second chapter or something as it’s such a good game, but let down by the fact that it is so short.

Too Short. Nice little game but way too short. 2 hours gaming for the price is not worth it.

Fantastic. Played this at PAX last year, loved it. Completely forgot about it till now. So glad I found it again!

Quality is Awesome but game play is too short. Not worth the price. Was excited finding this game but all the excitement died down after a few hours of playing because i finished it already. The game is too short and easy to finish, and for its price, i regretted buying this game.

Update??. I’ve had this game for more than 4 years now and there is still no update, I was hoping that one day there might be one but so far there is none. (Also pretty bad value 8 bucks is pretty expensive for a short game filled with dialogues)

Amazing game!. Please make a number 2 or make it a longer game it’s amazing and I want more 🥲

AWESOMENESS IS IN THE AIR. i am so glad they made this game. I love the concept and the quality. This game must of taken alot of creative ideas to make this game. I wish they made a number 2 even though it ended nicely and happily. But anyway this game is awesome and i would love to see more!😃😃

Fantastic game. I loved playing this game so much the gameplay is fun cutscenes are so cute I played about 5 times it was so good

Brilliant. So good, kids love it, very polished, thanks for making this!!!

One of the best games i have ever played!. This game is in my tope fav funny and puzzeling game you should get :)

So much fun. I heard about this game just the other day on kinda funny games daily having no idea who Ben Esposito was or what games he had made and as a gamer I enjoyed myself so much I played it in one sitting would recommend it to anyone

Good game, not worth the money though. It’s fun but disappointed since I paid money for it based on other reviews.

Incredible. This game is a top notch for its graphics and storyline but it would be nice to see a longer storyline as I finished it within an hour. It would also be super awesome if you made a free roam in like a massive city or to be able to make your own city with the junk you get from the levels

Great game! But the Price..?. I LOVED this game. Loved it. I got it for $3 during the sale and docked a star because I don’t agree with the normal $8 cost. It is a great game and it’s funny and creative but it only took me about 3 hours to finish which makes $8 a ridiculous price regardless of how much fun it was.

Short but sweet.. I’d love to give this game 5 stars as I absolutely loved it but like other review have said, it’s way too short. I think the story was the right length but I was expecting to be able to play a bunch of maybe standalone levels afterwards, especially for the $8 it costs. But really great work otherwise, I just hope we see them add a bunch of new levels in the future.

Finished the game in 1 day. It’s a good game. Shame it costs so much and you can literally finish the game in a few hours. Bit of a joke, not nearly worth $7.99. Probably not worth anything honestly, should just make it free

Have a Garbage Day!. Donut County is gorgeous, hilarious, cleverly expands on the scope of its core mechanic, and doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. It is *ideal* and a hole lot of fun.

Price. The app itself was great, I downloaded before an hour and a half flight. I had finished the game before I even landed. The fact that I could go from start to finish in less than an hour seems a bit ridiculous to charge $7.99. Hopefully there are more updates that could lengthen my playing time and make the charge worthwhile.

Rip off. I thought it would be worth $8 but no it would be worth $1.99 because it was so short it was fun but wished it was longer that’s why I’m giving it 1 star

Good concept, poor execution.. A fun new concept. Despite the game being very short, it gets boring pretty quickly: the puzzles are repetitive and interrupted by tons of meaningless dialogue. I won’t be playing it again and feel like I overpaid.

Yeah. This is awesome I played it once at a shop and as soon I started I was like wow I love this and I do 😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁🙃🙃🙃😊😊👋🏼!!!

Short. Cool concepts A lot of talking in the game and very very short

It’s good but…. The graphics were beautiful and it was enjoyable, but there was too much dialogue and little gameplay. I just wish there was more to the game or an option to play endlessly were you can just have the gameplay part.

I dont think it’s worth how much it is. It’s so short.. That’s the title, that’s the problem

Don’t get it at full price. The game is fun and story is decent but definitely not worth full price. It was like 40 minutes worth of gameplay definitely not a long game and definitely regret paying full price. Honestly don’t know why it would be game of the year.

I’m not the best.. It cost me a lot a lot of it cost me a lot of money and I finished it really quick so I think you should lower the prices

Overpriced. The game itself has good graphics and great story but the story is short it isn't worth 7$ maybe 3$ but if they lower they price or add more levels/modes it would be a good purchase

Where’s the fun?. Bad: I barely had fun playing it. The dialogs in-game take forever to end. Quite expensive compared to other great games you can find. It has an interesting mechanic but it definitely does not explore it. Good: The game really does have a nice and authentic style.

So cute but so short!. I really enjoyed playing this but for the short amount of levels I don’t know if it was worth the price. Hopefully they expand in the future!

Great game needs more content !. Great game lots of charm needs more content like a DLC maybe anyways bye

All style. No substance.. While it looks cool. Needs more challenging puzzles. Less conversation.

More levels. Tho it is fun to play I think there should be something separate maybe just levels or where you just eat everything or something it just needs more I’m bored of playing the same game over and over but of course you guys don’t care cause I already got the app and you guys already have my money

Be wary of reviews. So this game is over hyped as "best game of the year", which I think is a marketing ploy to get people to buy a 7$ game that is start to finish 1hr and a half with no replay-ability. The concept was cute. But the story lacked entirely, with dialogue that isn't skippable. Games like this need to step it up if they want to go for 7$ without faking reviews and adds

Nothing bad to say. Nothing bad to say about this game except that it is pretty short whoever is reading this tell Ben that this game is amazing and I’m really hoping to buy some of his other games on steam. Also the music is it on Spotify. One last thing every single person that worked on this game no matter how much work they put in thank you for this amazing game.

Amazing game. Haven’t had this much fun in an iOS game in a long time. Beautifully made with a fun plot. Worth finishing this game I really enjoyed it.

Good game. It’s a really good and enjoyable game, but it’s overpriced for how short and quick the game is, also I hope they add more levels to the game so that more people will get back into it.

Perfect for anxious people. Yes it is very short but it’s not expensive (people are complaining about paying $6?) and whenever I feel anxious, I turn on this game and by the time I’m done, so is my anxiety. Yes the dialogue could be parred down, but it also is fun to read the story. It’s cute and funny! I wasn’t expecting anything different. If the developers decide to come out with a newer shinier longer version, I would absolutely pay for that as well. Haven’t found a game that I love as much since! So relaxing!!

Audio issue. Short, yes, but also didnt see anyone mentionng that this game forces off your music—even when you turn off the in game sounds it is not possible to listen to audio while playing this game. A very annoying “feature”.

Overpriced. The game was great and had a fun story line but isn’t worth the 7 dollars it costs to play it. It is a quick game and took me about an hour to finish it.

Just ok. This game could have been good but it’s not...it has very little actual gameplay and a lot of dialogue. And the dialogue doesn’t help the story in any meaningful way but instead feels like filler to make the game feel longer. I’d be surprised if there was even one hour of actual gameplay here

Not horrible but not worth $7. Probably half the game is just dialogue between characters, cute story line but the game play is like 12 levels all extremely easy to complete Really wish there was more to the game kinda disappointed

Worth the wait!. I’ve been waiting for this game ever since 2016, and boy oh boy!! It was something! Definitely recommend buying this game!

Eat your donut before it eats you. I think the game is awesome it has so much story unlike hole.io So give a 5 star game #awsome

Good Game. Arguably a very enjoyable experience with some interesting aspects. However, expect a very short game without any form of infinite mode, or free mode. It’s all levels. Short but sweet.

downloaded this game after hope.io. I was looking for a hole.io type experience. I just want to keep growing the hole. And this game was enjoyable even though I think the story takes too much space... I think I would’ve liked much more to be able to put stuff in the hole a lot more. I enjoyed the logic that we had to use in order to clear some levels, but I would have liked to see something like hole.io except more unlimited. I still have the need to make the hole eat more stuff.... I feel a bit cheated tbh, I finished this game in half a day.

Awesome. Add some achievements

Good game. Good game but I wish it was longer and more challenging

Short but fun. The game has a unique dynamic and story, with a unique sense of humor. Is fun, but is very short - possibly overpriced for what you get.

Epiccc. It’s epiccc but it’s quite short, i would give it a full five if it had mor content, still AWESOME. Definitely worth it.

Overpriced. For the amount of time it takes to beat this game (1-1 1/2 hours for me) it is way too expensive. I was expecting a longer game not one with only 10-11 levels. Overpriced in my opinion

Horrible. 7 dollars for a game that you will finish in three hours. Brutal

Great game. I really enjoyed and loved playing this game. I played the whole thing in one sitting and I wasn’t disappointed. I’d love to see more games like it and more credit for the music. The music is amazing

🏆. I love the game and it has a Key for finishing the game

Awesome. Ok, I do not write reviews much, bit I HAD to write a review for this game. It’s a fantastic game with beautiful art. I love the story and the levels, it was TOTALLY worth the $3.99. It’s a short game, but overall awesome. I would suggest getting this if you like nice, short games. Well that’s all I have to say for this game 😁

Fairly good. Boring at first, get past 3 or 4 levels and it starts requiring more creative problem solving. Finished in 3 days.

Too short. The game is really good but the story is way too short

Amazing!!!!. This game is awesome 👏 I was so excited to get this game and I love it!! Amazing artwork and story. 5 star rating from me.

Not good. Long boring intro. Slow response of controls. Cant listen to music while playing. I recommend playing something free instead.

Cool. Cool mais trop court pour le prix à payer......

Can I get a refund?. The story short but it’s a good game but I want a refund I finished it in about A couple hours I really like how much would you longer and other stuff I can get with the money that cost and 6 dollars seriously like more people will buy the game if it was less expensive I want a refund

Funny and cute. Admittedly I got it on half price sale so I can’t say if I would be as happy with it at full price... but if it ever has a sequel I would want to play it for sure.

Disappointing. The game is quite short and every level is essentially the same. The story is extremely boring and just drags on. It is not worth the money you have to pay. Would not recommend.

Short but sweet. Title, it just feels very short and i feel like the idea has room to be expanded

Perfect for mobile. A very cute, enjoyable puzzle-like katamari-like game. I thought the levels were perfectly designed for short bursts of playing on mobile. The checkpointing/autosaves work really well for mobile as well. No in-app purchases, which is wonderful. This game exists on other platforms, but I thought it was pretty well-suited to touch controls. Heard about it through an interview with the developer on a podcast - sounds like quite a bit of work from a very small team. Well done!

Chatty. It’s a pretty good game overall. I usually like the narratives, but this had way too much dialogue and the best part was the gameplay really. Would be nice if it was longer/cheaper.

The music is a bop. 10/10 wonderful game, also the music makes me want to get up and dance 😂

Not worth the price. Very short and zero peplayability

Worth it?. Only an hour and a half to finish the game but it has a beautiful story and awesome graphics! Good job!

Decent but only on sale. Not really worth the price. Its ok but doesn’t deserve as much praise from apple as it gets

Too much charm, not enough game. It’s an interesting experience, and the core conceit is fun and different, but they’ve really patched over underdeveloped gameplay with a lot of cute, charming narrative - unfortunately the writing is a bit twee and will not land with everyone.

Worth. You could add an infinite mode to make the play time go up but otherwise worth

A puzzle story - no spoilers. I picked up this game as a preorder as it looked quite cute. I was pleased to find it had a good story and fun gameplay. The story is cute and kept me engaged. The characters are funny and interact well together. The design is lovely and colorful, and there was always something interesting to look at. The gameplay moves well and I didn’t have any issues with controls. There weren’t any glitches or bugs which is always nice for a new release. My only (very mild) disappointment was the ease of the puzzles. While I did have to stop in one or two places to figure it out, most were easily solvable. I would have liked more challenges, and perhaps there could be a future update that adds some in. All in all, it was fun and I’ll probably play it again even though I’ve already beaten it.

Believe the hype.. This game is as good as all the hype would suggest. The dialogue is hilarious, the characters and storyline completely unique. And yes it’s short, but it’s long enough to tell the story they were trying to tell. My only caveat is that the game could be a little more difficult; other than the final boss fight, there was really no challenge involved. I do understand that that wasn’t the point, so I didn’t take off a star for it; but it could have added another dimension to an already great game.

Amazing game, little too short though. Donut country is a treat. It is a game that keeps on giving with its fun and funny story and it’s fun and sometimes tricky gameplay even after the game is over you still get a secret mode *hint*.my main problem with the game is that it is too short it is 6 hours tops of gameplay but even considering this it is a gem of a game perfect for a long car ride

BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. This is by far the best game I have every played. At first I thought this was going to be a ripoff of Hole-io, but it turned out to be WAY BETTER! I love this game, it is so creative, like weird in a really good way! The character design is so cute, and I love their personalities! This game isn’t very long, and can be finished in one sitting if you have a lot of free time, so maybe when you make a new game, make it longer? That’s the only thing that bothered me, besides that, this game is perfect!

A bit story heavy when story isn’t crucial. I like the idea of this game. It’s cute and it’s fun; however, more than have of the game is clicking through character conversations that don’t amount to much. I spent 4.99 (not a lot considering the time put into development), but typically with a game of this price, I can play for days or weeks. I played this over a day or two (maybe 10-20 minutes at a time) and finished it. The riddles weren’t difficult but did offer a little amusement. I like the concept, but would like to see many more levels and much less clicking through dialog.

Great game, too short for $5.00.. Honestly I loved the game. The art and graphics are amazing and such a creative story. I could play it forever. But I can’t. I beat the game in around 45min and am thoroughly disappointed at the price and lack of content. I wish the developers would update the game and add more content, or at least achievements, for me to make my 3 star review a 5 star review. I don’t understand why the Xbox and PlayStation have achievements, yet the mobile version doesn’t. Please at least add more content. - an honest review.

Amazing.. This game is so cool and unique! I love the idea and the physics and the story. Even though it’s short, it has a story and concludes it amazingly. I left this game feeling really happy! It would be cool though to have a sandbox mode where you could still be a hole and could add objects to the scene to swallow after. What would be also cool is you could set the hole size and save or load your game. Overall, great game!

One Time Fun.. To be fair, this is literally just a series of levels that allow a hole in the ground to drop objects through it to grow large enough for the next object, and so on. This game is fun, entertaining and memorable. The story is over half of the value on the first play through and then the entirety of the hindrance of any subsequent plays. It needs a creative mode, or arcade mode to keep its engagement. Played it, had fun and now it’s over. So I deleted it and never have to think about it again, and that feeling at the end is called disappointment. Good job, it’s almost perfect.

Amazing game!. This game is one of my favorite’s, and I don’t say that about a lot of games. The plot is great, the characters are really cute, and over all It’s an amazing game. It is short, but you can replay it as many times as you want. It’s good for reading and you can read really funny descriptions in the trashopiedia. It’s fun, and on the occasion, it takes some thinking to solve the puzzle. I think it’s worth the 5$.

Best Game.. Donut County is my favorite game. I’ve beat it so many times. When you beat the King Quadcopter, your victory feels so good. The music is outstanding. My favorite soundtrack is Bird of Paradise. I love all the characters, but I think BK wins as my favorite. This must’ve took a long time to create. We all love your game, and I hope that you make some more games like this. “This story is filled with holes.” “Your brain is full of holes.” Best quote.

Not worth the price. I’ve been holding off on buying this game because of the price and finally got it on sale and I am glad I did. Definitely not worth the normal $5. I really can’t believe they have gotten away with pricing it that high for so long. The gameplay is much simpler than what I expected of such a highly recommended game. The constant storyline which I immediately found myself skipping through as fast as I could after a couple of cutscenes, was not interesting in my opinion. Overall, I would not personally buy it for myself again or recommend it to others.

So sad. I don’t pay for apps unless I absolutely have to. I read about this puzzle game and was extremely intrigued that I actually paid $4.99 for it. Started out fun. Then the dialog? No way to speed through it? Some of it was important to the story but everything after the Trash King’s office? I was bragging about this game to a friend when I was at this point and how embarrassing it was to show her dialogue, and more dialogue, and MORE dialogue, AND MORE DIALOGUE!!! Where the heck was the hole??? And when I realized it was Boss battle, I thought ok, I get it. Then I beat the boss and MORRRRRREEEEEEE DIALOGUE!!!!! And then the game was over. I feel suckered and what started out as a positive experience ended with a whimper.

So disappointing. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this game’s release, and man am I disappointed in it. It’s barely an hour long, and only because there’s so much useless repetitive talking amongst the characters. There are no stakes because there’s no way to fail - if you don’t do something right, you just don’t move forward. The ONLY saving grace is the humor. I was really hoping for something to fill that Katamari-shaped hole in my heart, but Donut County sure can’t do it.

Fun!. Honestly, it was a great little story game. Really relaxing, couldn’t put it down until I was done. I considered the price to be much less than a trip to the movies and I had way more fun. Took maybe an hour or so to complete but I loved every minute and definitely laughed along the way. I will definitely recommend it to my friends. I don’t know if it has any replayability but, I’d very gladly DL any game by these guys from now on. Y’all did a bang up job on this game- what a blast.

Do an update. We want an update the game goes by so fast give us more of a story so what happened next we are bored and you want to give us the levels we have already played despicable give us more From: drake and literally every single person who played your game PS: love your game it was amazing I loved it but please do a update please it will be so boring without it please

Worth The Money!. I’ve seen some hole i.o games online and on phone apps, but this is nothing like I’ve ever seen. Such cute and lovable characters with such hilarious and witty dialogue between levels. The plot is very unique, always wanting more and wanting to know what happens next. Game physics are easy to maneuver, only needing one finger and each level is uniquely designed with decent puzzles surrounded by a certain character in the story. Price could MAYBE go down a little bit, but besides that this game overall is awesome!

Too short for 5 dollars. First off I’d like to address the complaints of story. Yeah, it’s not great. But you can skip thorough all of it by holding down. And the “text speech” the complain about us characters using LOL or OMG maybe once a conversation. But this game lost massive points for me when it wouldn’t let me listen to my podcasts when I played. That’s a huge turn off, no reason for it in any app. Give us a button to turn off game music and let us listen to what we want. But biggest issue is length. No replay value, finished it in about an hour. Price of this game is overblown. For 5 dollars I expect at least 3 hours to endless gameplay.

Great game, too short. I sure hope there are updates coming to expand the game! Otherwise, it isn’t worth it. I finished the entire game fairly quick, and there isn’t much replayability. Please create about 3x the areas it came with, and create some way to make decisions within the game. Perhaps include a world where you can just run around and take things in? Finally, gameplay was less time than the storyline conversations. It made it a little sluggish. As is, it would be AMAZING as a free or maybe $1 game.

Amazing game!. Money well spent. I had such a good time playing this game. Not only are the puzzles fun, but the story is also very fun. I felt like I got to know the characters well, and the story is very creative. Another amazing part of this game is the music. You cannot play this game without the music, it just wouldn’t be the same. I don’t usually write reviews for games but for this game I had to, because I just had such a good time playing it!

Charming reimagining of Katamari Damacy. The premise is simple: you, the player, are a hole. Rather, you are controlling a hole. Stuff all of the objects in the hole to beat the level. Pros: - Charming humor. A clueless raccoon is responsible for controlling the hole and destroying the entire county. - Filled with life. Every object captured in the game has a witty tag for it that gives the game another layer of depth. - Great art style. Its simplicity is refreshing. - Music. Great music - again, simple that matches the tone of the game. - Indie. Playing this game supports one of the small development studios that help produce some of the most creative content out there. Cons: - Short game. I was able to beat this in about just 2 hours. - Limited replayability. A DLC challenge mode would be a great addition. Time trial seems like it would fit this game very well.

Game of the year? Meh.... I’m not sure how this earned Apple’s Game of the Year. The graphics and story are cute and the mechanism of play is definitely original and cool. But there is so much dialog that you have to tap through (think Zelda dialog x3), game play only lasts a couple hours and there is no replay value. You earn points that mean nothing and you can’t go back to improve your “score”. There are a couple of puzzles that cause you to think somewhat more than usual, but it’s pretty straightforward and predictable. For me, it would take a lot less dialog, more challenging puzzles and hours of replay to give this 5 stars.

I’ve been waiting for this game forever. I heard about this game months ago and have been patiently waiting for any sign of release. I squealed when I got the email saying preorders were available. I counted down the days til it was released. Even with the highest hopes possible this game beat my expectations. I love it. I listen to the soundtrack daily. I’m obsessed. Beautiful artwork and music, great game design, adorable story, and last but not least, adorable characters. ❤️

Awesome but needs more work. I love this game with its funny characters and stuff but the thing is you can beat the game like 10 times in 1 day and man 4.99 for a pretty short game is not that good. But I appreciate that you can replay levels, and start new games. But I really hope that they add a lot more so that it could at least be a little more challenging and so that it a least takes 1 or 2 days to finish or something like that. (Creators please read this)

A wonderful experience. Donut county is one of the best games I’ve played and probably the most it’s addicting gameplay can keep you playing this game for hours on end with good music which is one of my favorites right next to terraria and with characters with good dialog making the characters way more better all though they’re is bugs it is still amazing.

Creative. I Am Very impressed!. If you are a fan of indie games, this is a great app. Ben Esposito’s signature style of using the chattering pitched-up characters is very unique and stands out in each of his games. The 8-bit lo-fi music was excellently composed and fit the low poly, indie game style. The controls were great, and the characters had a dry humor that was enjoyable and entertaining. The end credit scene was intuitive and made the names enjoyable to view. Overall, Donut County has blown me away with how well-made it is!

A little too short. Honestly I expected more for $5. The graphics are nice but the story barely kept my interest and the puzzles were painfully linear and simple. There were maybe two that actually took me more than 10 seconds to solve. I finished the game in about four hours. Zero replayability, no sandbox mode or free roam mode. If either of those or a procedurally generated world could be added it would be more worth it I think. Otherwise it’s cute but compared to other games that cost the same or less, I think it’s too limited.

Fun, mildly challenging game with lovable characters. The developer took a fun physics/puzzle concept and crafted a good soundtrack and lovable characters to create a game that feels fresh, and is challenging enough to keep it interesting. It doesn’t rely on upgrades or in app purchases either. As you progress, you gain a couple new abilities, and you have to be a little clever to solve the later challenges. It plays great on a touch screen as well!

Amazing, but. This game is visually stunning and has very good graphics. It is very fun but can be completed VERY quickly which is a bit annoying when you are paying $5 for an app. Also I read someone’s review that said after you complete the levels there should be a free play mode where the whole city is together and you can “swallow” the whole city with the hole. Love this app but I am gonna need some improving since this app was $5. It kinda aggravated me that there haven’t been any kind of updates in 10 months which leads me to believe the developers have given up on this app.

Relaxing Game and Amazing Storyline. I purchased this game because it has caught my eye for a while, however, I never got around to playing it until just two months ago. It was such a relaxing experience and had great music and appealing aesthetics. The storyline was really nice to follow and I found myself laughing throughout the entire game while reading the dialogue. Definitely recommend to anyone of all ages to purchase and play this game and I look forward to hopefully more games by the developer!

Too short for the price. What a beautiful game! I loved playing it. I was so disappointed when it ended so soon. I was so engrossed in playing it that when it ended initially I couldn’t believe it was over. I figured there was more to the story and more game play. Then I thought about the 5 bucks I spent on it :/ Such a bummer. It’s beautifully designed, the idea is fun, reminiscent of Katamari. The music is good, the dialog/story is a little silly but in a good way. It just felt like it was the beginning of a great game. I would have given it 5 stars had it been more complete.

Interesting story but leaves a lot to be desired.. I have been waiting on this game after I read about its design being copied by a certain shady game company. I played the top off and really enjoyed it, I couldn’t wait for this to come out to support the idea. The story is pretty good, but honestly this game is ridiculously short with absolutely zero replay value. It seems like this could easily be fixed by including a sandbox mode that just lets you swallow buildings and grow for points. I think if I had paid 99¢ for it or even $1.99, but $4.99 was a little much for this. I’d have no problem with the price if there was some kind of free play mode to keep the fun going.

Fun, Unique, Short. Almost a solid 4 star game. If it weren’t an indie game I probably wouldn’t rate it this high. Pros: Extremely fun mechanics Great story- the characters are all very unique Gorgeous visuals Kind of scratches my Katamari itch- oddly enough Cons: Relatively short for the price Limited replay value The price might seem steep considering it’s short length. I knew that going in and wanted to support the dev, so I’m fine with that. If it had some sort of free roam/open world addition I would heartily recommend it at $5. Even something that was a large randomly generated map would be awesome. Also, the final boss fight was interesting and I would like to have seen that implemented more throughout the game. If you don’t mind short and want to support a small dev, then absolutely get it at full price. If you’re on the fence, maybe wait to see if it has a discount at some point.

I want you to Make the 2 donut country game. You could make a mood will you can Spohn in the whole life once you win the game you can make a mode where you Spohn in the hole and somewhere in the town and then you just keep on growing bigger and bigger eat in whole town ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎮 I love your games so much but in the second one you should make it more long I’ll because I defeated this game in one dayHow do you make a second game and I hope I’ll get to play it

Best. This is probably one of the best apps I’ve ever played,it’s like a full blown computer game and has the most amazing characters. I became so attached to these characters and they are so cute. They did some serious animation and the intention to detail is crazy. This made me feel so happy and I made all of my friends try it out. So I definitely recommended this game to people that like short but amazing games. So I’m rating this epic app five stars. Didn’t even have to think about it.

Too Short. I like this game and I want to love it but I can’t because for $4.99 the game is basically over in two hours or less. Even my child beat it within a half day and looked at me like was that it. It was very disappointing to find out the game was just over and done with in very little time. Such a waste of money. Would have love it if it kept going. Also there was too much character talking and cut scenes and not enough game play. They really need to relook at this game or the price tag and either add more content or make the game free but don’t waste your $4.99 on this game because you will be disappointed.

This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I played a lot of games. It’s so satisfying to watch everything just fall down the hole but I do think there should be a secret ending where you don’t swallow bk and only swallow Mira i’ve tried to do that many times thinking there might be a secret ending and every time I accidentally swallow BK so if they do any of the I feel like they should make that a secret ending otherwise an amazing game and I recommend playing it it’s so fun and satisfying and it’s funny too

A really cool game relaxing game. I'm a 40-something non-gamer type who loves games that you can play that don't require you to know a ton of stuff and/or be able to perform complexed, complicated moves. Donut County perfectly fits the bill. The graphics are not stellar and life-like, but have a quaint artisizm to them that is quite enchanting. I play this game to relax and unwind. If you want a simple game to help you decompress from a stressful day, go down to Donut County today.

I love the story but is it really worth 5$. So I never write reviews so this is really something, anyway I absolutely adore this game but is it really worth 5 dollars? I mean don’t get me wrong the story is super cute and funny but I don’t think it’s really worth 5 dollars I mean the story is pretty short and there’s no like free play mode or something to do when the story’s complete but I feel like it could be worth money but not 5 dollars but maybe 2 dollars or maybe even 1 dollar but not 5 but other than that it’s super cute,funny and great so yah that’s my opinion

Too short!. I have been waiting for this game to come out since I saw it at E3 last year. I was a little disappointed. The game is cute and fun and I enjoyed it, but I was expecting far more content. It was so short! I would be fine with the length of the story line if there was additional content to play after you finish like a sandbox mode or bonus levels. I don’t think it is worth $5 for the amount of play time. It is a real shame.

Not Worthy of Game of the Year. I spend a good amount of money on paid games ($100/year). This game is decent. Smooth and fun gameplay. Most annoying aspects are the INCESSANT DIALOGUE and how few levels there are. The dialogue is just absolutely ridiculous and even more annoying is the fact that it can’t be skipped. My 6 year old also enjoys the game but is also annoyed by the absurd amount of dialogue. The two most deserving games for Game of the Year are “Oddmar” and “Max- The Curse of the Brotherhood.” Check those out. Well worth the $$$$. Donut Country is worth $1.99 tops.

Pretty, but more dialog than game play. I spent more time tapping through dialog than actually playing the game, and when I did get to play the game it was over incredibly fast, a couple of hours later on the same day that I bought it. Game of the Year should have a lot more gameplay than this, or at least have some level of replay value. Mad props for the design, graphics, and game mechanics, but low score for actual game play value. I thought it be more like Katamari with a an open world concept, not a dialog-fest. I’ll be more wary of Apple’s Game of the Year rankings going forward.

Truly shows that mobile is a valid gaming format. Beautiful, I was going to give it 4 stars because I felt it was a bit short BUT the game didn’t even bug me ONCE to review. In my book that deserves an extra star. Besides, if you love katamari damacy you’ll love this. It’s not a clone of it, it’s entirely it’s own thing it just has that quirky feeling you can’t place on any type of game. Puzzle doesn’t quite do it but it’s close. What it also shares with katamari damacy is its level of craftsmanship, truly a work of love,you see why at the very end of the credits(after the drone flying) I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY ANYTHING BEN MAKES. GENIUS DREAMER GAMES KIDS AT HEART CAN TRULY APPRECIATE AND FEEL THE PURE LOVE OF THE PROJECT. p.s bearclaw is the best, I love honey and bees and I wish the world would care more about them, before it’s too late.

Great Game, Horrible Dialog. I realize that times are changing along with the way that people speak. But, when the dialog of this game looks like a lazy text message from your 13-year-old cousin, it kind of puts you off. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the game was great, graphics, physics, and level of challenge. But I had to furiously skip through the dialog scenes because the way the dialog is laid out annoyed me so much. Dude, LOL, OMG, Hahaha, Bahaha, Idk. Personally, it made me hate the characters. I can understand that this game may be targeted towards millennials, but for crying out loud; learn to write!

Fun! Cute!. This game basically has it all. The graphics are cute, the control is easy, the music is good, and the writing is fun and unique and serves the story being told. I wish there was a little more content past the story missions, I blew through them pretty fast and after two or three times through the story I’m sure it’ll get stale. The game introduces a bunch of cool puzzle stuff that I want to play with more! Still- a great game that deserves the love it’s getting.

I love this game!. I have a hard time finding a relaxing game to just take my mind off things. It’s nice how this game doesn’t have a timer/ lives/ stress. You’re literally just a hole (there’s more to the story but you’ll have to play to understand) I wish the game was a little longer because I played through it in about a day. I had a wonderful time and I don’t think I’ve ever played a more relaxing game. No frustration or confusion 5 stars from me!

Fun little game. It’s a fun, quirky little game. Not much of a puzzle game though if I’m being honest. It’s relatively easy to stumble your way through the entire campaign. There was maybe one semi-challenging puzzle and that was it. I had to take away half a star for the fact that it wasn’t challenging enough to be considered a puzzle game. I took away another half star for the length of the game. I don’t remember how much I paid for it since I preordered, but I expected a bit longer game. Only took maybe... an hour and a half to complete. Maybe two.

Cute, but more geared to kids - 2 hours of gameplay. I thought this might be like “reverse katamari”, but alas, on each small level, you eventually consume everything as the hole gets bigger so it’s a super simple activity of moving under small to large items - with a puzzle or two thrown in on some levels to make it interesting. There is a lot of conversation and storytelling which is fun except it is through clicking on many many many text bubbles rather than spoken dialog. That gets old quickly. The art and music is very nice. Quirky humor. Just super simple for $5! For literally 2 hours of play, that seems expensive.

This game is much too short. So, this game is quite expensive and very short. Most of the time is spent non-interactively clicking the screen while endless dialog goes by. There is no way to skip this dialog, even on repeat. I’m not reading a book, I want to play, to interact, to make choices. The actual game play is fun but there’s far too little of it. I won the game in, like, a half hour or something. Once you’ve beat it, there’s nothing else to do. There’s like, I dunno, it felt like 10 boards or something. This game is tiny. If it were more like katamari damacy or even angry birds, there would be hundreds of levels and puzzles. For this much money there should be replayability. I want my money back.

Honestly Perfect. I’ve played thousands of games at this point on my phone, over the course of several generations of iPhone. This is one of very few games that I have completed in a single sitting, you might take that as saying the game is brief, which is true, but it is also deeply engaging. The story is cute and the characters are endearing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent playing through this game.

Fun, quirky and short. While this game was relatively short (2-3 hours), it is quite amusing. It has a fun story with entertaining dialog. The premise is simple: “drive” a hole and swallow up anything and everything. There are some light puzzle elements that aren’t too hard to figure out but are fun to watch play out. Definitely read the Trashopedia entries. Again, the game is short but it’s at least as entertaining as a $6 movie rental on iTunes and will occupy for just as long (or longer).
