Donut County is a physics-based puzzle game where you control a hole in the ground and your goal is to swallow everything in the level!
It's a very fun game which artstyle and gameplay reminds me a lot of Katamari Damacy. I do wish the game was longer though. Even with being AFK, I still managed to get every achievement in 3 and a half hours.
If you want a short but sweet game though, I highly recommend this game!

really didn't enjoy this game, the gameplay is serviceable, the music is pretty good, but the characters and story are awful. Maybe I'm just too cynical for this, but I either was just mildly annoyed by or straight up hated all of the characters, especially B.K.. I finished the game so people can't be like "oh he gets redeemed" I don't care, he's a selfish prick who really didn't face any consequences for his actions and his friend is way to lenient on him. I'm just a cynical asshole I know, but god I really don't know why I bothered finishing the story 'cause I really did not enjoy it.
Un juego muy cuco, cortito y con una historia sin muchas pretensiones.
Es muy original, la jugabilidad es sencilla pero va añadiendo elementos con el paso de los niveles para que no sea todo el rato lo mismo y con eso consigue entretenerte y hacerte pasar un buen rato.
Es muy cortito y eso le pesa de cara a ser de mis favoritos pero aún asà ha sido una gran experiencia y por menos de 4 euros me parece una compra estupenda.

A short and sweet experience, I can't help but compare Donut County to Katamari Damacy... but in reverse. Rather than roll an entire city into a ball, Donut County has you play as a movable hole, growing with every item that falls into it, as you completely consume a scene. It's more of a puzzle game than anything, as the only challenge to this game is recognizing which items can fit in the current size of your hole. Unlike Katamari though, there's no freeform aspect to the game at all. Replaying any of the levels would more or less play out the exact same way. This greatly reduces replayablility, which could be a problem in a game that I was able to finish in one sitting, but I think the gameplay is therapeutic enough to still be fun even in the future. The plot of this game is surprisingly well-written. It has a lot of "Gen Z" humor in the character's motivations and responses to each other, but I found this to be a really fresh and humorous experience. Overall, it's a fun game that executes its premise well. Sure, it's on the shorter side, but I'm not sure there's too much more they could really go with the concept, unless they wanted to really increase the scope.
I've seen other people say that this game being short is a positive as it means it doesn't overstay it's welcome, but personally for me with the game being so short, I feel doesn't fully explore the gameplay potential of a game where you control a hole. With other games I would be fine with them being super short and simple, but I feel like there's too much dialogue in between the levels that really halt the pacing to make it a smooth experience. Playing through the levels is like eating an appetizer where you're getting a tasty small taste, and then once you feel like you're gonna get a big hearty meal with more in depth mechanics, you get hit with the bill, and then you kind of repeat this for the entire game.
Donut County is great and I wish there were more of it!
The gameplay is essentially reverse-Katamari and that's what's so fun about it. It's enjoyable, peaceful and you can take your time. The storyline is fun and the characters are quirky. Possum is obviously the best character!
Definitely recommending this game! I love it!
