Really short but neat and clever game. Absolutely recommend it, specially for it's price. Just try not looking at discussions of it or too much footage (being such a short game, spoilers are gonna appear on such sooner or later, and ruin the really neat surprises)

This is truly a fantastic game that is criminally overlooked.

A wonderful mind bending spatial based puzzler, where you create triangles on the environment for traversal, and as the game progresses, these tris gain more elaborate abilities.

The art direction and music are just stellar. Bold use of colours, surreal spaces, a somewhat painted feel to the textures and characters and their looks on the visual department. And the music is some of the most unique I've heard on any game. Most of the time I'd start whit "what the hell is this" as a reaction, but a few mins later I'd end up singing along the wordless vocal side of the songs.

The level design is fantastic, having a grid-like style construction of 1mx1m squares for most of the game, to give the player a consistent measure as to better construct the squares, but not limiting rigidly to this for when it's not necessary. New ideas and mechanics are introduced to diff worlds, and often using a few same basic mechanics in drastically different ways, as well as puzzles often having multiple ways to solve.

The maps have tons of strange areas and nooks and crannies, where collectibles are hidden, and these are super fun to find. Not only that, but areas where you'd think you are breaking the map to get to... often have these collectibles inside em, or achievements with lil easter eggs.

By the end of the game I found myself kinda sad cause I was having such a good time, even tho the game has a really good number of puzzles, wishing there were even more to solve.

All in all, I can't recommend this game enough.

This is quite a really neat short first person puzzler.

It uses quite some rather platformish style challenges and mechanics, all around the idea of shooting a laser with 3 active charges at red objects, causing these to extend, with some rather creative uses.

The level design is really good at teaching you how diff mechanics operate in a rather organic way, and presents some neat challenges without being overly difficult, even with the precision jumping shots you need to do, they do have some large targets after all, and the checkpoint system is pretty good and quick, so even if you miss you get put more or less immediatly not far from where you missed, if not right before.

The visuals are minimalist but really damn neat, having mostly texturless surfaces playing off with lighting and surface effects to give a feel as to how the world is shaped really effectively.

It's short, but stays interesting all the way through, all in all I really recommend this.

A rather short, but extremely solid puzzle platforming game.

Escape goat is quite the pleasant experience, having an array of few but interesting mechanics you can opperate your characters with, which side by side with the incredibly solid level design makes for a really smooth experience. The level design even if kind of complex at times, never gets to be actually frustrating, even if 2 or 3 levels can take you a not so low number of attempts.

The graphics do fit perfectly what would be outright retro rather than just pixelart alone (something plenty of people should learn the proper definition of both), not breaking sprite sizes or their self impossed colour limitations, which never interfere and only help how you read the maps (which is something I see multiple sidescroller games screwing up). And let's not forget the kickass soundtrack.

The only problem I have with the game is the free expansion it comes with. It isn't bad, but the level design clearly follows a different philosphy, and one that is a lot more trial and error, which for a 1 room type of level system is fine on itself, being able to see the entire of the map from the start, but unfortunately it has a lot of areas that require really precise timing on top of the puzzles themselves, which in the end do end up feeling frustrating.

Terraria is an 2D equivalent of minecraft, even though it being 2D removes a great deal of the creative posibilites, it gets balanced by the vast ammount of items and things to discover. You go from making a home for the night, to exploring caves, to summon a boss, to dig even more underground, to go to special areas, to fight even more stronger bosses, to visit the underground areas of those special areas, and you can lose many nights without even realising that IT'S FRIKKIN 5 AM AND YOU SPENT 6 HOURS STRAIGHT OF YOUR LIFE ONLY PLAYING IT. So, if you would love to have a extensive experience playing a game with your friends, this is the game that you defenetely should get.

Totally a classic, taking the Quake 1 like multiplayer experience, making it stand alone and polishing it. Fast pased with enclosed combat, and with servers still running, it's worth buying.
