“I like putting random stuff in the hole and making it progressively bigger. It doesn't have to be a complex puzzle to be entertaining. However, I can't recommend the game at full price because it doesn't provide many…”
“Charming but short. I wouldn’t mind if there were a dozen mindless levels between the story beats. The polish is nice and the gameplay is smooth.”
“ADORABLE and the puzzles are so good. i've played through the game 2 or 3 times and it never gets less enjoyable!”

“An irreverent, comedic indie puzzle game that albeit short, is such a treat. The writing genuinely got a few chuckles out of me. Great as a relaxing palette cleanser and for completionists.”
“3.2 hours. That's how long it took me to get all the achievements, blind. And that's only because I didn't see the "levels" button so I did 2 full run-throughs. This game is very short. While the game is briming with…”

“An unexpectedly enjoyable and intresting game! I was on sick leave, looking for something...? I had a few cents in my steam balance, and this game, for next to nothing, saved the evening! An intresting story, enjoyable…”

“This game felt like it had potential for some interesting puzzles to build on this type of growing hole game, but there was way too much uninteresting, unskippable story/dialogue breaking up the actual gameplay.”
“VERY short game.... Full of very skippable dialogue and pointless banter and a boss fight that has more second chances than Hollywood has for drug abusers... Far too simplistic levels.. if you can call them that. They…”

“Got this during one of the spring sales. While it is cute, it's extremely short and doesn't really require much thought. The storyline is amusing and ridiculous. I enjoyed it, but would absolutely not spend full price…”

“Donut County is such a weird little game, but in a good way. The concept is simple, just swallow everything, but it stays fresh with creative level design. The humor is goofy and charming without overstaying its welcome. It’s perfect if you want something short and relaxing.”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Donut County is a weird little game, and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. Is it fun? Yes. Are raccoons awesome? Yes. Did I probably like it mostly because there are raccoons? Absolutely. The story is pretty simple and the gameplay is very straightforward. There aren’t…”
