Donut Games

Donut Games at a Glance

Donut Games is a Swedish studio founded in 2006 that operated until 2019. The company released or published 17 titles during this period. Their catalog shows a clear focus on mobile devices, with every game available on iOS and most reaching Android users. They also released six versions for PC and two for web browsers. A single title appeared on Windows Phone, though that platform has since faded from the market. The studio saw more activity in the 2010s with eleven releases compared to five games in the 2000s. Their work centers heavily on Arcade games, accounting for seven of their titles. They also produced five Platformers and three Adventure games. Strategy and Puzzle genres each received two entries, while they made one Role-playing game. This output suggests a preference for casual mechanics over complex systems. The studio achieved significant reach with over 100 million downloads in the App Store alone. Quality ratings from IGDB show strong performance for their top tier. They have three titles rated great at 80 or higher, including Traffic Rush from 2009 and Cat Physics from 2010, both scoring 90 out of 100. Rat on a Snowboard followed with an 80 rating in 2011. Their average IGDB score across four rated titles sits at 82.5. However, their later work shows a dip in critical reception. Traps N' Gemstones from 2014 holds a good but lower score of 70. Recent releases like Birk's Adventure and Vulture Island appear without specific rating data in the provided set, leaving the quality of their final years less defined by numbers. The studio name appears in games featuring rats on scooters and skateboards, alongside other quirky concepts like Monkey Flight. Their catalog spans from 2006 to 2019, but no new titles have appeared since then. The data indicates a successful run on mobile platforms with high ratings for their early hits, followed by a gradual decline in top scores as they approached the end of their operational decade.
