Donuts! Demo Impressions
One short of a dozen
Donuts! is an arcade delivery blitz full of punchy art, endearing characters, and delicious dough. Despite some technical issues, I had fun trying to set a high score in this demo once I had gotten used to the controls.
Impressions
The following are my impressions after playing the demo. Presented as a rough bulleted list:
Positives
- beautifully stylized world
- interesting characters
- unique trick-based spin on the crazy taxi formula
Critiques
- hope there are more tricks in the full game
- the guiding arrow was often misleading
- locomotion could feel a little jank when pushing it outside of its comfort zone
- movement was pretty good when doing what was intended
- main menu could end up in a bugged state
- camera could clip through geometry
- visible geometry did not always match collision geometry
