Gameplay
The player guides a goat through various rooms, as they attempt to escape a prison. There are several objects that can assist or hinder the goat's progress, as well as a level editor that players can use to create their own puzzles.
Reception
Rock Paper Shotgun reviewer John Walker recommended the game saying that it was short but enjoyable. GamesRadar+'s Lucas Sullivan also recommended the game: "With the ability to tackle levels at your own pace, and some masterfully-tuned difficulty, we can guarantee that you’ve never played a better goat-centric game."
Legacy
A sequel to the game titled Escape Goat 2 was announced in January 2013 and released on March 24, 2014. The game has a new art style, new puzzles, and new magical hats which grant the player character various powers. Escape Goat 2 was published and promoted by Double Fine Productions' publishing label Double Fine Presents. A PlayStation 4 port was released in October 2014.
