A fun little game whose premise is more shallow than I anticipated based off the reception. It felt like a joke that went on too long and whose punchline was cringe.

Overall

  • A fun little game whose premise is more shallow than I anticipated based off the reception. It felt like a joke that went on too long and whose punchline was cringe.

Graphics/Performance

  • A cute pastel, polygonal style. Like a bunch of porygons from Pokémon had a game jam about animals.
  • Final boss softlocked and I had to restart the whole thing. Not fun.
  • It’s buggy and a bit jank, but I think the right kind of jank.

Gameplay

  • You control a hole that grows when an object falls inside. Make hole big, suck up entire county.
  • It’s a clever idea that I thought would have more Rube Goldberg like puzzles and interactions. It’s very simple and never goes beyond the joke of being a hole.
  • Clearly designed for mobile first. The little touch cursor that appears straight away was annoying to me.

Music/Sound Design

  • Techno blippy bloopy boppy

World

  • LA but donuts.

Story

  • Raccoons move to Donut County and use holes to suck up all the garbage...and people.
  • It’s goofy with an almost too dumb sort of internet humor.
