I was sold on the game on the basis that it had a mischievous talking raccoon as a main character, although you don't play as him. You play as the cause for the disasters of Donut County--the hole! While the puzzles of each little world you're in are not that complicated, there's a lot of humor and fun to be had with environment interactions. The characters you meet as the story progresses add a lot of color to this town. You get to know them more intimately through each puzzle-ready world you step in, which is such a creative touch. The music done by Daniel Koestner sells the cutesy, warm aesthetic of the smooth polygon world of Donut County. It is also amazingly to listen to on its own. The only major issue I had with the game is that it's very short with little replay value. There's not much new to replay if you end up sucking up every possible object in the game on first playthrough. It feels prime for some DLC or alternate takes on its puzzles but as it stands, it at least feels like a complete gameplay experience.
