Escape Goat Review

Escape Goat
Developed and Published by: Magical Time Bean
Date of Release: June 14, 2012
Price: $4.99

You wake up deep underground, locked in a dank cell in the Prison of Agnus. You slowly gather your strength and find your footing, and start to explore your new surroundings. As your eyes adjust to the dim light you have time to reflect on what has happened in the last few hours. Your freedom has been stripped from you, and you have been imprisoned on false charges of witchcraft. Also, you are a goat.

In the latest puzzling adventure from Soulcaster I & II dev Magical Time Bean, you play as a purple goat who is hellbent on escaping from the Prison of Agnus. It's not going to be easy, as each room is a devilishly devised series of traps designed to make curry of you. Luckily you have a mousey buddy on your side who can help you out by squeezing through small spaces and even using a spell to switch places with you!

The challenge level in Escape Goat starts out easy enough for beginners, but quickly ramps up to a frenetic level. Thankfully the game allows you infinite lives, and you will definitely need them as this is a game built on trial and error as you find the best way through each puzzle. With 100 levels to play though, Escape Goat will keep you going for quite a while.

Of course if you ever decide that you want more after you finish the game, a full-featured level editor is also included which will let players craft their own insidious designs. Add that to the charming retro pixel graphics and the mind-blowing soundtrack, and Escape Goat is worth far more than the paltry sum that you have to play for it. You definitely won't regret picking it up.
