Donut County

A quirky physics puzzler that questions the greater hole.

Animals do what feels good. Put aside experience, conditioning and morality, and natural behaviour follows a pattern of simple gratification. If you’ve got an itch, you scratch it. If it smells good, you eat it. And if you control a hole in the ground, and there’s a space filled with things to put into that hole in the ground – and it feels satisfying to put said things into said hole in the ground – chances are, you’re going to do it. 

That impulse is what Ben Esposito is counting on; Donut County revels in it. Like Katamari Damacy, it’s an irresistible exercise in tidying up. Chunky, colourful levels are cluttered with stuff: lawn chairs, clay pots, grass, donuts, horrified civilians. But this time, the player is a raccoon that’s found itself in control of an all-consuming hole.
