Donut County is a beatifully crafted game that tells a nice whimsical story that's fun and light-hearded with some thinly veiled social commentary. You basically control a hole in the ground that grows in size the more it eats. This is in the same vein as Katamari Demaci for those familiar with that franchise. The art is interesting and creative but where this game really shines is the slappin' soundtrack. The second half of the game has some more involved puzzles than the first half, though most puzzes are still very simple and only take a minute or two to figure out. A play through the entire game clocks in right around 2 hours, so don't expect a long adventure. At full price, that might be a bit steep for some when you only get 2 hours out of it. That being said, I enjoyed it and don't regret it one bit - grab it on a sale if you can.
