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]
