2D goat-based platformer from that new Indie Royale bundle thing. Anyone check this out? I played the intro levels, seemed pretty cool.

This is only 80 MS points on XBLIG also, so you dirtpeople that are afraid of computers can also buy this sweet game.

You can skip a few rooms, plus there's 50 bonus (supposedly harder) levels for the PC version.

must buy.

Post by: Great Rumbler on June 15, 2012, 08:01:21 PM: Really loving this game, some of the levels are devilishly hard.

Post by: demi on June 15, 2012, 08:03:02 PM: Is this yet another N+ / Jumper game? I'm getting bored of these... mostly because they give me ulcers from stress.
Title: Re: Escape Goat - You button hooked me! I didn't know you gonna button hook me.
Post by: Great Rumbler on June 15, 2012, 08:13:08 PM: Escape Goat is more about discovering the right way to beat each level, rather than avoiding enemies and environmental hazards.
Title: Re: Escape Goat - You button hooked me! I didn't know you gonna button hook me.
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on June 15, 2012, 08:15:50 PM: it's definitely WAY more puzzler than platformer
Title: Re: Escape Goat - You button hooked me! I didn't know you gonna button hook me.
Post by: Joe Molotov on June 15, 2012, 08:19:18 PM: It's not very stressful. There's no timer, only a few timed parts, no score, no bonus collectables, you just pick up the 0-5 keys per room and then head for the door.

Post by: cool breeze on June 17, 2012, 12:25:12 AM: This game is great. Last time I got into an indie game like this was with VVVVVV. I'm gonna do the "Intensive Purposes" levels (seems like 4x9 + final door) later. Main game was never too difficult and only a handful of rooms required active platforming.

Post by: Owl-faced Wizard on June 17, 2012, 01:09:06 AM: This is a really good game. Not normally super crazy about puzzlers, but this has got the right blend of elements, like Donkey Kong for Game Boy.

Post by: Fifstar on June 18, 2012, 06:25:16 PM: This is great, all gameplay, no gimmicks. Agreed that it's one of the best indie games since VVVVVV. Also gets nicely challenging in the later levels.

Post by: naff on June 18, 2012, 06:45:17 PM: This looks awesome! Will buy after work. Too bad we still don't have XBLIG here (or any of the other Xbox features which make it worth a Gold sub) :piss MS :piss2 PC it is.

Post by: Fifstar on June 19, 2012, 09:31:00 AM: The last level of the electricity world is doing my heads in, one of the few levels that is both puzzling and platforming.
