Cute little puzzle game with a nice art style, relaxing soundtrack, and humorous writing that's easily digested in a single sitting. It scratches that innate destructive itch one gets by helping to demolish a town through the use of remote controlled, all-consuming holes. The satisfaction of clearing an area of all its objectives is an admittedly simple, but still fulfilling, pleasure, rounded out by a cast of charming animal characters brought to life through playfully sardonic characterizations. The narrative structure of learning about all these characters and the destruction wrought upon them through gameplay-focused flashbacks is clever, but the relative quick completion of the levels means that these dialogues often interrupt the pacing of the game in the process. Overall, Donut County is brief, but charming and satisfying to complete. More than worth the couple dollars I spent to play it, but hard to know if it'll be worth playing again. Maybe if I'm ever looking to kill another couple hours sometime with something simple and relaxing. This will surely hit the spot.
