Goat up is the latest release from
Jeff Minter. I feel in love with
Jeff's games back when he made
Llamatron, it was crazy, random and as trippy as hell. Since he has been back on the gaming scene he has released a few
ipod titles.
Goat Up is his latest and it certainly delivers on all fronts.
Goat Up is a funny, addictive, retro, mental and seizure educing experience, which handles amazingly well. Despite essentially being and endless running platformer it blows the socks off of any other endless title on the iPod.
The graphics have an old school feel but do wonders with the
ipod's use of colour and clarity, blasting your eyes with a range of weird simplistic cuteness. The sprites are all weird and wonderful animals, house hold objects and food including the protagonist, who is a goat that just wants to make tonnes of babies.
Goat Up may offer nothing new game play wise to the genre but graphically and in theme it is miles beyond that of any other endless game. The visuals are superb and most importantly it is fun to play. Whenever I fire the game up I have to smile I cannot help myself, it has buckets of charm and is infused with the passion of its designer.
Goat Up is a superb endless racing game that is a must buy 5/5
