Donut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. Meet cute characters, steal their trash, and throw them in a hole. WHERE TRASH IS TREASURE Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his friends and their homes to earn idiotic prizes. When BK falls into one of his own holes, he’s confronted by his best friend Mira and the residents of Donut County, who are all stuck 999 feet underground… and they demand answers! THE HOLE KEEPS GROWING • EXPLORE every character’s home, each with their own unique environment. • MOVE the hole to swallow up their stuff, growing bigger each time. • COMBINE objects inside for crazy effects: cook soup, breed bunnies, launch fireworks, and more. • CATAPULT things back out of the hole. You can use it to solve puzzles...or just destroy stuff. • DEVOUR everything. The hole won’t stop until the whole county is all gone. Donut County was created by Ben Esposito, designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. It is the result of six years of solo development, dozens of donuts (for research), and one fateful encounter with a raccoon. ## Key features - Story-based gameplay - Physics puzzles - Growing hole mechanic - Explore unique environments - Combine objects for effects - Catapult items ## Chart rankings - #183 in Top Paid · Adventure (US App Store) - #123 in Top Paid · Puzzle (US App Store) ## What do users think of Donut County?

I hope the developer can solve it as soon as possible. ### 5/5 — This game… I don’t like it. I LOVE It!!!! *2026-07-18, version 1.1.0* This game is a bit nostalgic for me because I watched Dan tdm play it, but it’s definitely a hidden gem!! I love it to bits🩷the art style, the characters, the storyline, the music.. Especially the music!! (I love the soundtrack yall did so good!!) I highly recommend this game it’s so fun!! ### 5/5 — This is the best game ever *2026-07-15, version 1.1.0* I love it and it’s addicting I love the levels! ### 5/5 — Adorable storyline and city absorbing donut game *2026-07-05, version 1.1.0* I love this game I was watching my bfs roommates play and when I saw it on the App Store I instantly purchased. The only downside is if you’re a bit obsessive with gaming this can be finished in a couple hours and there’s no free roam donut holing after (you do get to fly a drone around town though upon completion). Absolutely a gem though and the character animation and style feels so warm and comforting. I loved all the different things I could demolish 10/10 ### 5/5 — One of a kind *2026-06-29, version 1.1.0* This game is amazing! I love all the little things added in this game like the duck button. Im also sad because there is no game on mobile LIKE this. It’s truly one of a kind and no game I have on my phone can compete with this. ### 5/5 — G *2026-06-27, version 1.1.0* Amazing! Some of the puzzles are pretty hard but when you solve them it’s pretty fun. I love it and I wish there was a second one. ### 5/5 — great *2026-05-12, version 1.1.0* best game for raccoon lovers<3 ### 5/5 — So Worth It *2026-04-29, version 1.1.0* This game is funny, creative, stimulating, cozy, chaotic, and it has its plot twists. I loved it so much that I played it in one session. The soundtrack and art are fantastic. Frictionless and well-made. I’m a huge fan of BK. Definitely give this one a shot. ### 4/5 — Too short *2026-04-29, version 1.1.0* I love this game. That’s why it’s four stars but not five because the game is so short and there could be so many possibilities to keep the game going for a little longer. ### 4/5 — Falam muintoooo *2026-04-27* Já zerei umas 20 vezes é bem legal e rapidinho mais tem muitas falas tem uma hora que não dá pra pular por favor tirem umas falas ## Frequently asked questions about Donut County ### What is Donut County?
