She finds BK more interested in a new mobile app, trying to earn enough points for a quadcopter drone, which he does by scheduling the delivery of donuts to the residents of Donut County. Human Mira works for her friend BK, a raccoon, at the local donut shop in Donut County. This can be used to fling certain items swallowed by it to hit outcroppings to dislodge objects or to trigger switches. Later in the game, the player gains access to a catapult that fits in the top of the hole.

There are some puzzle aspects to this to swallow objects floating on top of water, the player may need to maneuver the hole to drain part of the water, and then have that water consumed by a bird, repeating this until the water is drained. As players move the hole to swallow objects, the hole increases in size.

The goal of the game is to swallow every object to essentially clear out the level. In Donut County, the players control a hole across several different levels, each of which is self contained but has several areas that open up as they progress. It also released for Android in December 2020. Donut County was released in August 2018 for iOS, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows platforms while versions for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch were released in December 2018. Other inspirations for the game included Hopi figurines-a theme Esposito later relinquished-and locations from Bruce Springsteen songs. The concept originated in a game jam that used video game pitches from a Twitter account parody of game designer Peter Molyneux, and later added a mechanic similar to that of Katamari Damacy. In the game, the player moves a hole to swallow objects, which makes the hole increase in size. Donut County is an indie video game developed by American indie designer Ben Esposito and published by Annapurna Interactive.
