Kind-of tangential, but speaking of goat-themed video games... around the same time Goat Simulator was released, there was another video game released called Escape Goat 2[1]. I've played it and it happens to be a wonderfully-crafted, well-executed puzzle platformer. At the time it came out, I remember thinking it was unfortunate that a 'joke' game (Goat Simulator) got a lot of attention, while there many more heart-felt indie efforts out there that struggle for similar exposure. But I suppose that's just how it goes.

- ohjesusthatguy 12y agoThey're not in the same league at all; I can almost guarantee no one went out looking for "that goat game" and bought Goat Simulator by mistake when what they were actually looking for was Escape Goat. My seven- and nine-year-olds have had at least the $5 worth of fun out of GS that I paid for it. EG looks more like my kind of game but it's not available for my platform of choice.
- archagon 12y agoEscape Goat 1 was really great too. Fantastic sort of DOS-era, strange/mysterious platformer vibe.
- david-given 12y agoThat looks really cool. Alas, it doesn't run on a platform I've got, or I'd get it --- it's only $10...
