Leave a Review Donut County
Good Game that makes me laugh. Wish it could be longer
Donut County is a fun game to play. It one of the few games that makes laugh from the dialogue. It's a very interesting story overall. My issue with it is it's not a long story and relatively easy to play. Therefore, I breezed through the game. It would be better if the game were longer or more challenging. It would also be better if there was some sort of post game as well instead of just seeing the credits every time. All in all, it's a good game but it's kind of short with little replay value after completing itShow lessKogie13
Great Game, needs more
First off I have to say, this game was a breath of fresh air as far as mobile games go, it has a creative and funny story as well as an excellent art design. There’s no in app purchases which I prefer, I tend to rather pay up front rather than pay to progress, but with a price tag at $5, you expect more out of it than you get. I completed the game in less than 2 hours. The game itself isn’t challenging but rather relaxing, which is great, unless it only last a short while. Over all I thing it’s a great game but not worth the $5 price tag. If it cost .99 or even 1.99, I would highly recommend purchasing it. (And please don’t even think about paying $12 to get the same exact game on Nintendo switch)Show lessDyl4223457890421
I know it’s been said before but here I am saying it again
Look I don’t often write reviews but I felt like it was a must after seeing it obtain game of the year. This game has great visuals great gameplay. And even though I wish it was longer I even bought the windows version on steam to play it there.
It serves as a great time killer when I’m just sitting around or taking a long drive with my dad and he’s listening to either music or on his phone (Bluetooth of course). Wish it was on google play so I could get it there too.
Other then that great job team on making a fantastic game and congratulations on the award!Show lessWarmachinegx
Fun, but my lord, tiresome dialog
My son and I really enjoyed the hole aspect of the app, sucking down people and rocks and such. Very inventive, fun, reminiscent of Katamari. BUT
the vast majority of the game is spent in text/sms like dialogs with wooden characters. Nearly impossible for us to enjoy, because the characters are truthfully pedantic and/or annoying. The reviews seem to indicate this is the reason to play the game, but I found the dialogs endless and repellent. Key to having characters that are relatable is to see them grow- and these characters spend the vast majority of their dialogs whining or complaining about... the same things over and over again.
Worst part? Can’t skip the cut scenes to get the fun.Show lessmobuli
How do I get my money back?
This game is too expensive and seriously rated to high for what it is. I’m always down for mindless entertainment but this is engaging for about 5 mins until you realize it doesn’t get any better fast! The storyline is unbelievably pointless to the game play. You have to sit through what it seems like the developer thinks is clever banter between characters. I just hurried through the speech as much as possible. The game could have been redeemed if the only part of the gameplay was the hole that engulfs the levels you play and it got more and more difficult. Unfortunately that doesn’t really happen and then you have to go back to the pointless and absolutely terrible script that is the storyline between the characters. Seriously, how do I get my money back?Show lessAnyone Anyone
Game of the Year? Really?
Literally 95% of the game time is reading dialog (which doesn’t even stand out). I challenge anyone who plays this to get through the entire game without resorting to rapid two-fingered tapping just to get past the ever-lengthening dialogs. The game also has some pretty basic bugs that you’d think wouldn’t be in a GotY. For example, you can mute sound and music, as in most games, but that won’t stop it from blaring loud and proud on startup. Overall, a neat mini-concept, but not enough to make an enjoyable game on, and certainly not enough for a GotY. I’m starting to think that the process of choosing these types of awards might be a lot less objective than it should be?Show lessbrentbordelon
Great game but ends very quickly
It’s hard not to immediately give donut county a 5 star review. The visuals are stunning, the story is impressive, and the gameplay is simple but fun.
Sadly, I can’t give it the five stars I would give an app like this normally because of the price. This game takes maybe 2 hours to play all the way through and once you’re done it has very little replay value (except maybe to chuckle at some of the jokes). There’s not really an arcade mode or anything so once you’re done you’re really done. This has kind of been echoed by other reviews but basically when people pay 5 dollars for a game, they expect something that will engage them for longer (I think stardew valley is like 8 and Minecraft is like 7). I love this app and would easily rate it 5 stars if only it was longerShow lessmontesomething
I’m gonna be real here
in short: i really looked forward to this game more than i enjoyed it. It was by no means a bad game, i really did like it. the story was really cute and i love the concept. the art is beautiful, i love the music, all of it. it’s great. but it’s too easy and WAY too short. i mean, for $5, you expect a lot more on a mobile game. a $5 game on mobile is a lot for most people. and i really hate to say, but i’ve thoroughly enjoyed free games for much longer than this lasted me. now if we could get one with some more content and some more challenging puzzles, or really anything more, it would be a lot more satisfying. This was a cute game, but not really worth $5 in my opinion, and i hate to say this about a good indie title that had this much work into it, but i really don’t think this one deserved game of the year. it just leaves you feeling like you missed half the game, wondering “i wonder how much longer 5 games that cost $1 would last me”
i hate to be so negative because i really did enjoy it. but i think it was mostly hype, and not enough content.Show lessalekgat0r
Expected it to be longer with more mechanisms
Let's be straightforward here. For a Game of the Year, I expected more. This game has the graphics and (initially) interesting gameplay that earned itself this prestigious title. But not only is the game incredibly short (composed of 25-ish levels that on average take a few minutes each to complete), the gameplay fails to evolve over the course of the story. Play mechanism involves a hole and later on, a catapult, but it has so much more potential than just two tools. The game could use a second part of reconstructing the city, as the ending felt rushed.
Overall, a slight disappointment and a bit overpriced.Show lessXiran W.
Have a Garbage Day!
Donut County is easily one of the best games on the App Store. With all of the free to play trash on mobile, it is always nice to get a game that you can buy once and just play it. Donut County is exceptional with its great gameplay, creative mechanics, and energetic characters! Some people complain that the game is too short, but I like that this game can be beaten in a couple of hours so it can leave you with a short and sweet experience. I think that the game is so good, that I might even replay the whole thing. You guys are talented and care about your games, which seems to be less of a reality for most video game, and especially mobile game studios. Overall, this game is brilliant and is a must buy for anyone with a capable phone. I hope this game does like hot cakes, because more people need to play this!Show lessAnAveragePlayer555
