About the Game

🐐 Goat Mode: Activated

A hilarious, challenging, and seriously addictive platformer.

Ready to become THE goat? Enter the arena. Jump, fail, repeat.

In Goat Mode: Activated, each level is a challenge. Complete it, and replay it with additional maluses: slippery surfaces, additional traps, reduced visibility... Choose your torments and create an increasingly impossible experience.

Think you’re ready for completing the highest challenge?

⚠️ This game doesn’t want you to succeed

  • Merciless platforms and tight gameplay

  • Maluses that get harder and stack up like a puzzle, challenging your skill and patience

  • Awesome characters to unlock based on your difficulty progression

  • Chill but absurd atmosphere to make the pain easier to swallow

  • A game coded in few years months days, but one that could make you rage for eternity

🎯 For whom?

  • Fans of Celeste, I Wanna Be The Guy, or any game that shows no mercy

  • Those who love voluntary suffering

  • Caprinae lovers

  • For anyone who feels bad enough for me to give this mess a chance

📰 Review Highlights*

God is a Goat – 90/100

“A true masterpiece in its originality. Imagine if Hades and Celeste had a baby — you'd get Goat Mode: Activated.”

Sheep Happens – 95/100

“Every jump feels like a leap of faith. One moment you're flying, the next, you're baa-dly falling.”

Meeh-tacritic – 95/100

“A must-play for platformer enthusiasts looking for a challenge. Prepare to rage, then love it.”

Polygoat – 10/10

“The game is a technical mess, poorly optimized, with graphics straight out of the 90s... but I'm completely hooked and won't quit until I became THE goat !”
