Reception

Rock, Paper, Shotgun reviewer John Walker recommended the game saying that it was short but enjoyable.[1] 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."[2]

Sequel

A sequel to the game titled Escape Goat 2 was announced in January 2013 and released on March 24, 2014.[3] The game features a new art style, new puzzles, and new magical hats which grant the player character various powers.[3] Escape Goat 2 was published and promoted by Double Fine Productions' publishing label Double Fine Presents.

gollark: These are just slight variations on existing animals.
gollark: I don't think this is true, except in a very broadly defined sense.
gollark: If *evolution*... well, "attempts" would be anthropomorphizing it... to cross said chasm, all it can do is just throw broken ones at it repeatedly with no understanding, and select for better ones until one actually sticks.
gollark: If I want to cross a chasm with a bridge, or something, I can draw on my limited knowledge of physics and materials science and whatever and put together a somewhat sensible prototype, then make inferences from what happens to it, and get something working out.
gollark: No. We can reason about problems in various ways. So can some animals.
