Unfortunately, the story isn't that interesting and sure, it's supposed to be silly and fun but I couldn't get into it and I found myself rapidly tapping on screen to get the dialogue over it so I could move on to the next level. Still, it's an effective form of story-telling as long as you don't mind tapping a whole bunch through it.

If that sounds both serious and idiotic, it is. Eventually, he finds himself being swallowed by his own hole and having to come to terms with the consequences of his action. Now that we are done with that, in Donut County, one of the main characters is a raccoon who controls a remote-controlled hole in the ground that swallows everything in its path, which he uses to swallow his friends and all their belongings, something they are not happy about at all. I should mention right now that this review contains innumerable mentions of the words 'hole' and 'swallowing', so if you have any jokes, now is the time to get them out of your system. So what is Donut County then? The game is essentially about controlling a hole in the ground that you can move around to swallow things. On Steam, for example, the game currently stands at 'Very Positive', which, when you consider the generally cynical Steam audience, is rather astonishing. It is available on multiple platforms, including iOS but, most notably, not Android, and has received rave reviews from almost everyone who has played it. It is the result of six years of solo development, dozens of donuts (for research), and one fateful encounter with a raccoon.Donut County is a game that has been on my radar for the past few weeks.
