About the game
You roam San Angora as a goat, using your horns, tongue and jumps to interfere with people and objects. The island hides quests, collectibles and equipment with unusual powers. A task may ask you to move something, work out a strange instruction or experiment until a joke reveals itself. Completing activities opens more of your castle and gives you new gear.
Friends can explore and cause trouble together online or in split screen. The largest supported groups have four players, while some editions support two. You can follow quests together, wander off to find separate distractions or start a competitive minigame. Collisions often leave goats and people tumbling across the scenery. The loose pace leaves room to talk, and progress gives the messing around some direction without making every session a test of teamwork.
