Description
Named 2018 iPhone Game of the Year by the Apple App Store team!
Donut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. Meet cute characters, steal their trash, and throw them in a hole.
WHERE TRASH IS TREASURE
Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his friends and their homes to earn idiotic prizes.
When BK falls into one of his own holes, he’s confronted by his best friend Mira and the residents of Donut County, who are all stuck 999 feet underground… and they demand answers!
THE HOLE KEEPS GROWING
• EXPLORE every character’s home, each with their own unique environment.
• MOVE the hole to swallow up their stuff, growing bigger each time.
• COMBINE objects inside for crazy effects: cook soup, breed bunnies, launch fireworks, and more.
• CATAPULT things back out of the hole. You can use it to solve puzzles...or just destroy stuff.
• DEVOUR everything. The hole won’t stop until the whole county is all gone.
Donut County was created by Ben Esposito, designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. It is the result of six years of solo development, dozens of donuts (for research), and one fateful encounter with a raccoon.

Ratings and Reviews
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.
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...
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.
