Everything flows really well you can tell that a lot of meticulous attention to detail was paid to build such a punchy package.
This is complemented by a great soundtrack and a snappy pace to progression. From in-game texts to the one-liner descriptions of all the stuff you collect in the ‘Trashopedia’, I had a grin on my face for the entirety of my short play time. It all feels true to life and brings a breezy pace to longer scenes.ĭonut County’s entire script is hilarious. Dialogue is filled with an instantly relatable, modern attitude – and duck emojis. This is where the bulk of the dialogue-only story takes place. Later puzzles still aren’t particularly challenging, but they freshen things up and give you a bit more to think about than simply guiding your mobile void around a set space.Įach level can be finished in just a few minutes (ten to fifteen for larger ones) before you’re sent back down the hole to the underground campfire setting. Thankfully, puzzle variety grows and the levels themselves become more interesting. For the first half of the game, the levels are incredibly simple and easy they fall into a threateningly tedious pattern. As the hole gets bigger, the perspective of the level widens and you’re given more assets to ruin. You start by sucking down similarly small objects – blades of grass, bricks – and the hole grows with each item you claim. Their flashback stories serve as levels where you take control of a small hole in the ground and swallow up anything and everything you can. Despite spending such a short time with these characters, each one is distinct and memorable, which is a great achievement and a testament to the tight writing throughout. BK’s definition of a donut, however, is questionable at best.įramed around flashbacks, each resident tells their story of how they came to be nine hundred and ninety feet below Donut County, sitting around a campfire, arguing about a smashed drone and BK’s reckless behaviour. BK works at the local donut shop and delivers donuts to hungry residents straight from his app. In Donut County, you follow the story of Mira, human girl, and BK, male raccoon.
The vibrant art style and sharp, witty writing is pitch-perfect, while the overall gameplay is simplistic almost to a fault. While you’ll only spend around three hours maximum bringing whimsical destruction to its innocent animal residents, you’ll find those three hours relaxing, funny and satisfying.ĭeveloped by Ben Esposito, it took more than five years for Donut County to see the light of day. The world of Donut County is a surreal and charming place.
