The main gameloop is fun and simple, enough so that new options that build upon it would be expected every few levels. Donut County fails to explore the depth of it’s hero: the hole (pun intended), and tries to use it’s characters to mask how truly shallow the game is. Either through time trials, different modes, settings, goals, or additive features around its core. You’d expect a game inspired by Katamary Damacy to have a wealth of options that explore it’s main mechanic. The writing is dripping with charm and fun, which thankfully overflows masterfully into the game’s beautiful visuals. Mira, the best friend, and BK’s relationship was especially engaging as Mira represented the moral anchor across the ensuing chaos. The message is presented through a conversational narrative between the county’s residents with wonderful humor, witty banter, and charming characters along the way. Donut County‘s strange story is a metaphor for the indifference of the self-centered “goal-getter” and the damage they can cause along the way. If that sounds nonsensical, amoral, and wacky, that’s because it is. ![]() ![]() BK gets closer to his goal by dropping the town’s trash, which coincidentally is everything and everyone, into a gigantic hole he controls from his tablet. Which is why the game became such a disappointment the closer I got to getting that sick quadcopter.īK the Raccoon is a single minded animal set on one thing only: becoming the first raccoon in his Donut Shop to get promoted to quadcopter duty. Donut County embraces simplicity like its forefathers and proves that a rather strange idea can be novel when implemented correctly. Players are challenged to delve into each environment and interact with their colorful denizens to discover how to grow. Each unique level begins with a small opening, barely large enough to fit a soda can, and one singular task: consume everything. Donut County is a physics puzzle game where you abandon all respect for other’s property by plunging their valuables (and their owners) into a remote controlled hole in the ground. ![]()
