60 of 118 · most liked firstMy first impressions of Donut County are: it's cool! The game is a narrative-heavy game, and during the gameplay segments you play as a hole in the ground! Your objective is to collect all of the objects in the area, and the hole increases in size with every object collected! It's fun so far!
unlabelledView post →The next game that I'll be playing is Donut County! ngl I know pretty much nothing about this game 😅 I haven't seen any screenshots or footage of the game, but I've seen it get a ton of praise on various parts of the internet! The cover is an absolute vibe as well, so I'm excited to play it!
unlabelledView post →I played Donut County! The game took around 2 hours to beat. This was a cool game! The story was entertaining and had a few humorous moments, and the characters all had interesting personalities! The gameplay was satisfying as well, and the game had an awesome soundtrack and art style! It was fun!
unlabelledView post →Donut County has a level that makes cool use of the lighting in the game! A flashlight falls into the hole, and you use said flashlight for illumination to navigate the level! It's a unique approach to a level, and it shows off the awesome lighting effects that the game has! It's a neat level!
unlabelledView post →In terms of the vibe of Donut County, it's chill! The game's story is laid-back, it has an unserious tone with the characters often joking around about the events in the game 😊 the game also has a soundtrack that has both relaxed and bumping tracks, and the art style is awesome! It's a nice vibe!

My kid the game snob: No. My favorite is Donut County, and I have Vintage Story. It's like Minecraft but to get tools you do KNAPPING. Kindergarten kid: You take NAPS?! My kid: NO!!! K-NAPPING!!
unlabelledView post →Donut County! It's on Android, iOS, switch, etc. The gameplay is so simple but fun, where you control a hole in the ground and try to swallow objects that fit inside. It grows with every object so you can fit bigger items, with a goal to eat all objects in a level. And the story is so cute and funny

unlabelledView post →18. Donut County - 2 hrs 40 min What a delightful & ridiculous little game. The idea of making a game where you control a hole that gets bigger every time something falls in it is brilliant. The story was silly & fun. The music was rad. The simple & cartoony aesthetic was really cute. Fun times!

unlabelledView post →Asking for a friend (Definitely) I love the style of games like Donut County & Untitled Goose Game. Unshaded, but not entirely so - there's gradients, ambient occlusion, etc. Are there any good resources on how to achieve styles similar to this? I've been trying so I'm curious! #gameart #indiedev

unlabelledView post →Finished this simple little indie game called Rain on my Parade. It's pretty easy (although NG+ adds extra challenge) but it combines a bit of Untitled Goose Game, Donut County with a little Katamari thrown in for good measure. Also lots of references to other games. It was a lot of fun.

It's very quirky and there's moments where they take that concept and do something unexpected with it. A short, fun indie. #365Games
