The game has been nominated for the 15th IMGA Global competition! We asked Jeff Legaspi the questions we ask our nominees to give the fans/voters and all people interested in the IMGA the developers perspective. Now please excuse me while I go back and replay my favourite level.Donut County is the game we’re discussing today :). I got through it in a matter 2 hours, while other $8 games I’ve played have lasted at least 6 hours.Ĭonsidering it was so short, however, I was very impressed with the attention to detail and clever usage of narrative, music and sound.

My only complaint was that it was so short for the amount of money it cost, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Even without the puzzles, making things disappear into a hole is strangely satisfying and calming! My initial concern that making holes would quickly become dull was abated within the first ‘level’ as you also solve basic puzzles. I loved Mira and DK, their relationships, and the humour - a couple of interactions between characters made me laugh out loud!

I’m a sucker for games that tell a story as well as being engaging play-wise, and Donut County hit the spot. I read about Donut County in a magazine so I preordered it through the App Store, and it did not disappoint!Ĭool, funky graphics and the unique sounds for speech drew me in first. It is the result of six years of solo development, dozens of donuts (for research), and one fateful encounter with a raccoon. The hole won’t stop until the whole county is all gone.ĭonut County was created by Ben Esposito, designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. You can use it to solve puzzles.or just destroy stuff.
