You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his friends and their homes to earn idiotic prizes. Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. Meet cute characters, steal their trash, and throw them in a hole. It's a satire of companies like Uber of Airbnb, where a simple concept can lead to all kinds of headaches and ripple effects in other industries - just look at what happened to the New York City taxi business when Uber moved in, for an example.Donut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. It's a not-so-subtle commentary on what happens to a community when the tech industry moves in: The townspeople in the game thought they were just getting a donut, but accidentally invited disaster into their lives. BK, oblivious to the damage he's caused, is just trying to do enough deliveries to earn a quadcopter drone. When the unknowing townspeople order a donut, though, what they get delivered instead is your portable hole in the ground, which proceeds to swallow up the customer and everything they own. The general idea is that BK, a raccoon, buys the town's beloved Donut County pastry shop and launches a donut-delivery app. But like previous award recipient "Monument Valley" before it, "Donut County" is more about the experience than it is about reflexes and skill.Īnd what an experience it is.
The game isn't especially challenging - there are some light puzzle elements, sure, like sucking up live fireworks and using them to bust up obstacles into chunks that fit in your portable hole. If you've never played "Donut County," which costs $5 on the App Store, I urge you to take a look: It's a stylish, funny game that casts you as the pilot of a remote-controlled hole in the ground that sucks in everything it touches, from snakes and lawn chairs all the way up to mountains and Ferris wheels. This week, Apple released its rankings of the best apps of the year, with indie hit "Donut County" taking the prize as the top iPhone game of 2018.
