Donut County for Negative User Reviews
✓ Downloaded this game after hope.ioI was looking for a hole.io type experience. I just want to keep growing the hole. And this game was enjoyable even though I think the story takes too much space... I think I would’ve liked much more to be able to put stuff in the hole a lot more. I enjoyed the logic that we had to use in order to clear some levels, but I would have liked to see something like hole.io except more unlimited. I still have the need to make the hole eat more stuff.... I feel a bit cheated tbh, I finished this game in half a day..Version: 1.1.0
✓ More levelsTho it is fun to play I think there should be something separate maybe just levels or where you just eat everything or something it just needs more I’m bored of playing the same game over and over but of course you guys don’t care cause I already got the app and you guys already have my money.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not goodLong boring intro. Slow response of controls. Cant listen to music while playing. I recommend playing something free instead..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too shortThe gameplay is great between the long dialogue sequences but it’s pretty expensive at 4.99 for a game you’ll complete in about an hour. The story seems pretty complete too so I doubt it’ll be extended much. Overall it’s worth playing if the price is ever reduced.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Waste of a good conceptThe game looks great and was an interesting idea. Unfortunately they didn’t expand on it at all. You swallow objects... and that’s pretty much it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too much charm, not enough gameIt’s an interesting experience, and the core conceit is fun and different, but they’ve really patched over underdeveloped gameplay with a lot of cute, charming narrative - unfortunately the writing is a bit twee and will not land with everyone..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Need more game for the $$$I’m given this game two and a half stars. I would easily give it 5 stars but there simply wasn’t enough content. There was more time spent looking at screens of animals talking than time spent playing the game. I would like to see a add on/update where you could be the bad raccoon and take down whole cities. Start with little wads of papers or candy wrappers small rocks and progress to sky scrapers. I didn’t like the story line and really just wanted to skip it so I could get to the whole hole parts. I feel I got bamboozled with the 4.99$ price tag for a game that I could have finished in 20 minutes if it didn’t have cut scenes. Add more and “Have a Garbage Day”.Version: 1.1.0
✓ 3 out of 5. Here’s why…As most reviewers state: the game is beautiful and fun. The concept is great and the environment is relaxing. However, the gameplay is mostly story-driven, way too short, and has no replayability to justify a rating higher than 3. Donut County is a wonderful concept that everyone should try and I think it’s worth the price tag. The biggest issue is there are very few levels that focus on our interaction and instead one must click through tremendous amounts of dialogue to get to the next level. I’d like to state that in and of itself that’s not a bad thing. But, I wanted to play a game where I’m mostly controlling a hole that swallows things up; and I didn’t fully experience that. Lastly, there is a Credits level that crashes every time I start and being that this game has been out for some time, I’m not sure the issue will be fixed..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Relaxing fun, far too much unskippable chit chat thoughFun, a bit like a katamari lite, you will spend a minute or so between levels frantically paging though quirky dialogue (or worse, waiting for messenger replies to be typed by other characters) or maybe you will love the story and like that bit too, I didn’t myself though..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Waste of money$8 for this. I finished it about 40 minutes. If you get it on sale for $1 worth it. But the story isn’t worth reading either. I skipped over it. Sad day when you support a developer and feel completely short changed.Version: 1.1.0
✓ DullI found this game pretty slow and overall pretty disappointing for the price, the gameplay is turgid and there is a real absence of anything remotely challenging when it comes to the ‘puzzles’. Maybe it’s not really aimed at young adults, however the overtly complex dialogue and its exhaustive use throughout seems to suggest it is. There’s so much detail that could have been explored in so many ways to make this concept more challenging. Overall the concept is really creative but the execution is weak..Version: 1.1.0
✓ It’s pretty, but......Really, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. You move a hole around, things fall in, the hole gets bigger, bigger things fall in. Repeat indefinitely. On paper it sounds a bit like Katamari Damacy, but it’s much slower and simpler. It only really gets interesting in the last level, which you can get to in a couple of hours, though it involves sitting through a lot of interminable dialogue-heavy unskippable cut scenes. It’s beautiful to look at and the animation is fluid, but the levels are mostly short, simple, and boring, and having to click through the in-game text message conversations was maddening. Really, think of this more as a proof-of-concept than a fully fledged game..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good concept, poor execution.A fun new concept. Despite the game being very short, it gets boring pretty quickly: the puzzles are repetitive and interrupted by tons of meaningless dialogue. I won’t be playing it again and feel like I overpaid..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Dont waste moneyGreat game but my 8 year old daughter purchased with her hard earned money and it lasted a week! she finished all the levels in that shorts space. Make more levels guys!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ OverpricedThe game was great and had a fun story line but isn’t worth the 7 dollars it costs to play it. It is a quick game and took me about an hour to finish it..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great concept wastedI expected a puzzle game that built up the difficulty to become a satisfying challenge. Instead the concept was never built upon. You swallow garbage with a hole.... and that’s about it. A few levels add sequence puzzles but they are far too obvious and clearly spelt out to be any real challenge. The story is also far too underdeveloped, reading more like the shallow text messages of a couple of millennials. Unfortunately the low poly artstyle and concept aren’t enough to carry this game above a mediocre score..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not worth 4.99I bought this game hoping for a fun new game and because I saw it as “game of the year” and I started it up when it downloaded and got right into it, I finished it in 10-30 minutes, I was not impressed when I found there was nothing more to it. So I went to refund it but I don’t even have a receipt sent through for me to refund it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Well executed, but not actually a game.Here’s the problem: there is no puzzle element, no alternative solutions, and no actual game here. You move your target around touching all objects on screen from smallest to largest, in order. That is it. By the time anything more is added to the mechanic you’re 80% through all the content on offer. And you have log since started auto skipping the tedious and unpleasant “story” elements to get to the next assortment of sliding a target to touch all the objects on a static screen. Everything else is very well done. But... well. It’s a well executed, good looking, tedium..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Love the idea.The concept is great, but the puzzles are too easy. I finished the game very quickly. I just don’t think the gameplay is worth the cost, but the graphics are amazing! Really aesthetically pleasing.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Audio issueShort, yes, but also didnt see anyone mentionng that this game forces off your music—even when you turn off the in game sounds it is not possible to listen to audio while playing this game. A very annoying “feature”..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Also hmmmWhilst there is a lot in this that’s really cool (I love the idea of starting at level 9 and the graphics are great) I just got a bit bored. The dialogue is interminable and just not very interesting. More game please and more challenging puzzles, and keep the dialogue to a minimum. It’s just a bit self indulgent in the end, sadly..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Rip offI thought it would be worth $8 but no it would be worth $1.99 because it was so short it was fun but wished it was longer that’s why I’m giving it 1 star.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Cannot find support for problemOk. I’m not very good at games. I don’t play them very much. I bought this game because it looked cute and the review said it was easy. However I seem to be stuck at one point and I cannot find any help for this problem. I looked for support in the description of the app but it only took me to a page that my browser said was not secure. It seems to me that if I pay for an app there should be support for it. Very disappointed! The place I’m stuck is in the scenario with the retired people that look sort of like horses who like to watch bunnies. I put all the small things I can into the hole and the only thing that seems to be left is a pot which is too big to fit into the hole. If anybody wants to enlighten me about what to do please and thank you..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great game! Not $5 great...The gameplay itself is ok in terms of how fun it is, but what kept me playing was the story. Sucking things into holes got monotonous quick, but the story and easy, but different, quirks that the levels had were pretty cool. Especially after you unlock the 1 gadget. The game took about 60-90 minutes to beat, and once you finish the story there is nothing else unless you want to start over. Would be a great $0.99 game, $5 for a 90 minute game feels like a waste to me. But congrats, you got my money. The music is very well put together, and I thought the way the characters interacted was pretty cool. They used a lot of texting slang, but the whole game was very lighthearted so it wasn’t a bother. Gave it a 3/5 mostly because of the very high price. Would change to a 5/5 if a lot more content is added..Version: 1.0.2
✓ It’s fun but shortI enjoyed the game it was fun but I finished it in like an hour of your going to make people pay $8 to play it at least make it last more than an hour in some ways I feel as though it wasn’t worth spending money on... which is a shame because the game it self was fun.Version: 1.0.5
✓ OverpricedFor the amount of time it takes to beat this game (1-1 1/2 hours for me) it is way too expensive. I was expecting a longer game not one with only 10-11 levels. Overpriced in my opinion.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Be wary of reviewsSo this game is over hyped as "best game of the year", which I think is a marketing ploy to get people to buy a 7$ game that is start to finish 1hr and a half with no replay-ability. The concept was cute. But the story lacked entirely, with dialogue that isn't skippable. Games like this need to step it up if they want to go for 7$ without faking reviews and adds.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Finished the game in 1 dayIt’s a good game. Shame it costs so much and you can literally finish the game in a few hours. Bit of a joke, not nearly worth $7.99. Probably not worth anything honestly, should just make it free.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great concept; dull executionI try to support pay once and play developers and have huge respect for the originator of the hole gameplay concept but if I have to furiously tap through another level intro just to get stuck on an incredibly fiddly (and not at all fun) puzzle - the camera flash/balloon level, really?! - then I’m going to throw my phone through the window and send the developers the bill..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Good game, not worth the money thoughIt’s fun but disappointed since I paid money for it based on other reviews..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not worth the hype or the priceSure the effort went in to it but it is way over priced for mainly cut scenes and about 40 mins of game time. Spent too long on story which read like it was written by a 40 year old pretending to know what "young people" like. Read that this was about gentrification so I'm guessing this was some lame hipster's attempt at ironic humour. Either way save your money. If you want a good challenging game buy the room.Version: 1.0.2
✓ OverpricedThe game itself has good graphics and great story but the story is short it isn't worth 7$ maybe 3$ but if they lower they price or add more levels/modes it would be a good purchase.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Hmmmm...I have such mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand the game play and game physics are really fantastic and there's something very satisfying about swallowing everything up with a whole! On the other hand the scenes with dialogue involving the characters are VERY long and you can't skip them. Infact you probably spend more time with them than the actual game! Also, there aren't a ton of levels and the first third of them are easily completed in about 2/3 minutes. So based on the value for price and the size of game and the fact I didn't really like the character scenes(I just wanted to play!) I'm giving it 3 stars. But what actual gaming there is is fantastically done..Version: 1.1.0
✓ DisappointingThe game is quite short and every level is essentially the same. The story is extremely boring and just drags on. It is not worth the money you have to pay. Would not recommend..Version: 1.0.2
✓ I’m not the best.It cost me a lot a lot of it cost me a lot of money and I finished it really quick so I think you should lower the prices.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great Game, needs moreFirst 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).Version: 1.1.0
✓ Lovely game but way too short for the price.First of all I beat this game in an hour. It’s a great game with a great idea but it just needs more content to warrant the price. The best part of this is the final half. Feel like the whole game could have been done more like those last few levels..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Good, but not perfect.Really enjoyed most of the game. Too much dialogue. Found myself tapping through the cut sections so I could play the game. When I eventually got there, it was really good fun! Some levels were more demanding than others and really made me think, which was great! I competed the game in around 1 hour. So with that in mind I think the £4.99 purchase price is a little excessive..Version: 1.0.2
✓ 5 pounds? For this game? No way!To be honest, I only downloaded this game having seen many YouTubers play it, I had 10 pounds to spend, now only five for a game where the only thing you do is move a hole, things fall in, the hole gets bigger etc. Also, 5 pounds to do basically nothing is stupid. Yeah sure the graphics are cool (awsome) but I recommend you not to waste your money like me and many others. For me this is a scam for your money. Many others disagree but just saying what I think you will agree with..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great game but ends very quicklyIt’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 longer.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Should be a $1 gameVery short game length with no replay ability. Every level is effectively the same and there is no challenge at all to the game. I wish I read the reviews before I purchased. Would love a refund..Version: 1.1.0
✓ It was a good game but...But I honestly don’t think it’s worth $4.99. It’s incredibly short and doesn’t have any actual “game play” like there are different levels but there isn’t a way to fail or even to play your own way. You just have to progress in the story the way that they want you to. Also it’s incredibly short, i finished this game in like an hour, and all you can really do when you beat it is start a new game (and do the exact same thing over again) or you can replay the levels you’ve beaten (thus doing the same exact thing over again). I was just expecting more out of an app that is so expensive. It’s really pretty, has a nice soundtrack and is nicely animated but it’s definitely not worth the high price..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Too ShortNice little game but way too short. 2 hours gaming for the price is not worth it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not worth the priceVery short and zero peplayability.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not horrible but not worth $7Probably half the game is just dialogue between characters, cute story line but the game play is like 12 levels all extremely easy to complete Really wish there was more to the game kinda disappointed.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Price and shortness let it downSuper fun game with a good story! However it is stupidly short I literally brought in then completed it in less than a day, probably only would of taken me an hour if that if I hadn’t of had to do thing between! Therefore I can only Give it 3 stars because I think the £4.99 is a bit steep for the amount of gameplay you actually got! Other than that they style of the game is beautiful and the small amount of gameplay you get is really fun!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ One trick pony, not worth the high priceYou’ve seen the whole game in the first few minutes. Would be fine for a couple of dollars but not even close to being worth it at this price..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Too much talk not enough gameSure - I can see how much work and creativity has gone into creating this game world and it’s important to support independent designers. But - there is very very little actual playable content here to warrant this price..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not enough content for the priceRegretful purchase, it’s all over in an hour or two. Not challenging at all, it’s just a grind. You spend more time reading the dialogue in the cut scenes than you do playing the game. DON’T BUY IT.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Cute ‘game’ but not a puzzle gameIt’s not challenging at all... not really sure what the fuss is about (in saying that it’s a great game for toddlers my 3 year old loved it).Version: 1.1.0
✓ Where’s the fun?Bad: I barely had fun playing it. The dialogs in-game take forever to end. Quite expensive compared to other great games you can find. It has an interesting mechanic but it definitely does not explore it. Good: The game really does have a nice and authentic style..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Disappointingly short for the priceI downloaded this after seeing it had won 2018 game of the year and paid £4.99 for the privilege. Sadly, as other reviewers have mentioned, it’s very text heavy and when you do get to play it’s not particularly taxing. I completed it in a couple of sessions and was surprised by the small amount of actual game play, if you take out all the ‘story’. Feel like I’ve been ripped off. Will think twice before following Apple recommendations again..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Quirky game but not sure if it’s worth itThe game has a great concept but lacks much of a challenge. Mostly a story with a few mini games in between. In my opinion not worth the price as I can’t see any more in the way of puzzles and completed the main story in about and hour. In terms of the app itself it is well designed and made, visually great to look at..Version: 1.0.2
✓ 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?.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Can I get a refund?The story short but it’s a good game but I want a refund I finished it in about A couple hours I really like how much would you longer and other stuff I can get with the money that cost and 6 dollars seriously like more people will buy the game if it was less expensive I want a refund.Version: 1.1.0
✓ PriceThe app itself was great, I downloaded before an hour and a half flight. I had finished the game before I even landed. The fact that I could go from start to finish in less than an hour seems a bit ridiculous to charge $7.99. Hopefully there are more updates that could lengthen my playing time and make the charge worthwhile..Version: 1.1.0
✓ 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?.Version: 1.1.0
✓ ShortCool concepts A lot of talking in the game and very very short.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Quality is Awesome but game play is too short. Not worth the priceWas excited finding this game but all the excitement died down after a few hours of playing because i finished it already. The game is too short and easy to finish, and for its price, i regretted buying this game..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Feeling slightly cheatedCute story, but goodness, my 9 year old and I finished it in a little over an hour and there is nothing new to discover on a replay. I mean, I guess I spend over $5 on movie tickets, but on a mobile device $5 usually goes a lot farther. It feels that they wrote a clever short story and didn’t put much time into the actual game. Kid and I were both disappointed that the puzzles were not puzzling and the hole-sucking was not even slightly challenging. We’d heard the comparisons to Katamari, but this was as if the prince and everyone talked a heck of a lot more and you had to stop each level after rolling 8 objects. The dialogue was funny, but not funny enough to replay. Wait til this goes on sale or risk feeling let down and unfulfilled, like us right now..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Fun, but my lord, tiresome dialogMy 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..Version: 1.1.0
✓ So short!Looks great, feels great. But so short! For a game that’s not cheap, I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth....Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not Worth the PriceI really wanted to like Donut County. The art and gameplay was seemingly right up my alley and it felt somewhat unique. However, I left the game feeling like I was missing something. First of all, $5 is way too expensive for this game. I finished it in an hour and for a puzzle game, the puzzles were extremely easy. I went into the game expecting well done and challenging physics based puzzles. Instead, I only got a hint of that. There was so much potential from the elemental-based puzzles, but nothing different is ever done with them. The difficulty level of the game stays constant, at about a preschool level. Donut County is more of an interactive visual novel than a game, which would be fine if the story had any depth. Instead, the story is just a cutesy, pointless wall of text that I found myself clicking through. If this had been a $2 game, I think it would’ve been worth the price, but I seriously expected a lot more for $5, especially from a game that’s currently #1 in the puzzle section. Donut County can be summed up as lackluster in every thing that it tries to pride itself on..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Horrible7 dollars for a game that you will finish in three hours. Brutal.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Cool concept, too little contentThe positive reviews of this game are spot on. It’s creative, unique, and has a cute story. At the same time, the negative reviews are accurate too. There is way too little content here - maybe a few hours at most - and the game can be finished in one sitting. The “puzzle” elements are extremely simple and though they add to the “hole” mechanic they do little to add any challenge or depth. I also struggled to find any replay value here. More content could save Donut County and a big price drop may make it worth the investment for new players, but otherwise there are more deserving apps out there that will keep you entertained much longer for the money..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Is it really worth $5Not really. I’d expect it to be a game to play long term, or have level/story updates. However, that’s not the case. Additionally, you can’t skip dialogue which I always prefer (especially for a simple game like this where I’m only really interested in actual gameplay). Most irritating thing is that there’s options for no sound and no music, but then I can’t play personal music on my phone at the same time as playing - the app automatically shuts off whatever music I have playing. Seems pointless to have no sound options if I can’t listen to my own music. Wish I could get a refund tbh.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Maaaybe wait for a saleI don’t mean to diminish the work the creator put into this game, but typically mobile games that cost money are expected, at least in this day and age, to last a while. Maybe more content will eventually be added? But honestly, if this did as well as I think for Esposito, he is probably busy making his next interesting game. The mechanics are spot on, the game looks good, and the story is just silly enough without being eye-rolling. What is here is really good, but for less than a hour and a half of a game, it’s hard to recommend this at the current price of $5. If new content is added I’ll consider amending this rating..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Decent but only on saleNot really worth the price. Its ok but doesn’t deserve as much praise from apple as it gets.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too expensive or too shortEither way, I don’t think the game offers value for money. It’s a great game, I’ve never seen or played anything like it. I really enjoyed the gameplay but it’s way too short for the price. It should have been longer or cheaper. I was surprised and disappointed when I realised that I had reached the end after only an hour or so. Shame..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not enough contentI love the concept and gameplay, but it does cost a bit much for not that much content. I get that the 4.99 is how the developers make money, but for 19 relatively short collection levels, some extra story thrown in there, and a boss fight and then free range with the quadcopter afterwards (which is really slow so you can barely go anywhere), its enough to last you at least one day, you can maybe stretch it out to two if your lucky. You can replay the levels to your liking, and every level in the game is connected so you can get to them with the quadcopter. Theres not that much hole action in the game. The hole is used in almost all levels but that doesn't mean the hole is always present. The boss fight is pretty annoying too. Overall, its not as good as it's sought out to be..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Far too expensiveCool concept, just a bit repetitive after the first 10 minutes..Version: 1.1.0
✓ I’m gonna be real hereIn 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..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Where’s the puzzle?I found this too easy and for the most part a lot of the levels I completed by accident. It’s a pretty game and a nice concept but I feel the developers have missed a trick here and could have been something more fulfilling for the price. Competed in just under an hour and no incentive to return to play as the levels offer no level of difficulty advancement. Pity..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Pretty but lacks depthThe game is beautiful, that’s for sure but that’s where the praises stop. The game it’s self lacks depth. The storyline and cutscenes were annoying. The gameplay is really flat, swallow items into the hole to make it grow until everything is consumed. Some levels have a few challenges but nothing to get you excited. Even when you complete the game there is no alternative mode or unlocks to make the game last. It’s a real shame for the amount of money you pay for the game..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too Short for What It’s WorthFor $5, you wouldn’t expect a game this simple, short, and actually disappointing. There were only a few challenges when playing the game and that’s where it starts feeling like a rip off. There’s no real challenge give or take a few moments. And because of this ease, you blast right through the game and it ends somewhere really far from what a $5 game feels like it should’ve ended. You’re left wanting more as you just roam around at the end only having NEW GAME as your next option to have the same fun that drew you in. But then you just experience the same game again. And again. And again. I agree with the other reviews—this is a $0.99 game, not a $4.99 one; it’s priced as a meal, but sadly it’s just a snack. The jokes are funny and relatable, but the overall finished product feels unsatisfactory like it needs more story and game content..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not a game. Interactive “story” at best.I can’t see how this was named 2018 Game of the Year. It is an interactive story that requires virtually no skill. And the script of the character interactions read as if written by a child. Really disappointing and not worth the cost..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too short for the money£4.99 for a game that you can finish in a couple of hours 😑 The game play and physics are great but the dialogue scenes are too long and get boring after a while (a skip button would have been great). I hope there will be more levels or something in a later update to justify the money spent 🤞.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great concept, awful executionI like dragging the hole around working out what fits which makes it grow. The levels are tiny with max 30 items to collect. Half the game is reading dialogue between levels, as the crazy little critters complain about the holes. Who starts a game with forced fake mobile conversation? You start at exp level 9 which makes no sense and have to buy an item with money that you some how have. Needs more free form open world levels, not this locked down to one screen which you play for a couple minutes..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very fun but not worth £4.99I really enjoyed playing Donut County but I’m annoyed that it was £4.99 as it felt so short! You can easily complete the game within an hour and think it should be changed to around £2 instead..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Beautiful graphics, but extremely short for the money spent.I will say that this game had lovely graphics. However, for the price paid I was expecting a longer, more open ended game play. Perhaps the developer will add more content down the road, so far I haven’t seen that happen. I’m tempted to look into getting my money back and removing the game though due to the fact I kind of feel the amount was too much for such a short lived game play. I will give it a little while and then possibly ask for a refund either through the developer or through the App Store itself. Please be warned that this game can be completed in its entirety within a day or so depending how much time you have to play it. I do hope to see the game expanded on sooner rather than later..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Wholly RubbishI bought this knowing there was a fiver in my account burning a hole to be spent. Took the plunge in view of glowing editors recommendation. I wish I hadn’t and I would like my money refunded as the review in no way reflects the game In my opinion. The childish unavoidable narrative is frustrating and there is a limit to how long you move a suedo hole around to swallow gaudy cartoon features. Deleted very quickly and will be much more careful in future. Disappointed..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Too much dialog, too little gameplayYou move a hole along the ground and swallow things up. The more you swallow, the bigger the hole gets, so if you want to swallow up that car or house, you need to progress by first swallowing up those small rock and plants. There are a few puzzles to solve, but they are so simple that I am conflicted to even call them puzzles. The gameplay doesn’t really progress much past what I’ve described. Between levels you are treated to cutscenes. At first I thought they were cute, but they lack any real content... and they are LONG... way too long. It wasn’t very far into the game that I found myself clicking as quickly as I possibly could to skip the incredibly long cutscenes. The graphics are well done and the concept is sorta unique, but it seems like the developer came up with a good idea for a game and didn’t really know what to do with the concept. I am puzzled how this game has won as many awards as it has. Is it cute? Yes. Is it unique? Sorta. Is it a game that’s worth $5? IMHO, absolutely not..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not an award winning gameThe editors are missing something, this isn't worthy of an award. The massive cut scenes are annoying and you can't skip them. I've not played a game with more cut scene time than actual game play until now. The game sections are OK with some simple puzzles but this must be aimed at ten year olds. Overall it's OK, but no award from me..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Don’t get it at full priceThe game is fun and story is decent but definitely not worth full price. It was like 40 minutes worth of gameplay definitely not a long game and definitely regret paying full price. Honestly don’t know why it would be game of the year..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Just okThis game could have been good but it’s not...it has very little actual gameplay and a lot of dialogue. And the dialogue doesn’t help the story in any meaningful way but instead feels like filler to make the game feel longer. I’d be surprised if there was even one hour of actual gameplay here.Version: 1.1.0
✓ It’s good but…The graphics were beautiful and it was enjoyable, but there was too much dialogue and little gameplay. I just wish there was more to the game or an option to play endlessly were you can just have the gameplay part..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not really a gameThis is a cute interactive story app, but it’s not really a game, which is disappointing. Most of the time spent in this app is reading dialogue which thinks it’s much funnier than it actually is. It’s not bad, but after the first few conversations of “LOL!” I wound up skipping through them to get back to the “game”. The game itself is really more of a very basic light puzzle, in which there are hardly any decisions to be made. More of an order of operation mechanic. If you realize a very large object does not fit in a small hole, and that you need to start with the smallest objects first before the hole gets bigger, you have figured out pretty much the whole game (at least the first hour of it, maybe it gets better somehow). The graphics and mechanics are well suited for toddlers and very young children, where as the forced dialogue is cringeworthy for anyone not thirteen years old. If you’re an adult who isn’t really a gamer and just want a cute thing to fiddle with, and have toddlers to keep entertained, this will be a great app. If you are looking for an actual game, this is not it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Update??I’ve had this game for more than 4 years now and there is still no update, I was hoping that one day there might be one but so far there is none. (Also pretty bad value 8 bucks is pretty expensive for a short game filled with dialogues).Version: 1.1.0
✓ BoringBoring, virtually no puzzling game play. Wouldn’t bother, especially for the price! 2 stars because the art and physics is kinda cool, novelty wears off after the first min. Played the game to completion hoping for some challenges, none eventuated. Wish it was better..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Incredibly boringThe game is 80% nonsense cut scenes that go on far too long, interspersed with a couple of minutes game play and then back to more cutscenes. It’s a shame because the game play bit is quite fun, but it’s painfully slow having to wait for the cut scenes to finish before you can play - there’s no way to skip (in fact some parts requires you to specifically click through). Dreadful game..Version: 1.1.0
✓ All style. No substance.While it looks cool. Needs more challenging puzzles. Less conversation..Version: 1.0.2
✓ ShortWell, the gameplay of the app is intriguing. Shame about the tawdry plot, though..Version: 1.0.5
✓ I dont think it’s worth how much it is. It’s so short.That’s the title, that’s the problem.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Poor, short, annoying and a waste of moneyI can’t believe I paid money for this. You spend most of your time watching nonsensical unfunny text in between short periods of mildly amusing game play, before more long boring periods of “conversation”. Even with the time spent on the “story”, the game still only lasts about an hour. And I paid £5 for this as it’s the game of the year? Someone got bribed heavily for that one. What a scam..Version: 1.1.0
