Goat's Tale (Classic)

Goat's Tale is something of a precise platformer that has its own take on the genre which, given that I have experienced both the original Jump King to near-completion alongside other multiple indies inspired by it, I was quite intrigued by with the usage of what the team behind FoxSox Games were aiming with by implementing 'ragdoll physics' into their game to stand out from the crowd of precise platformers out there, both in the 2D lane and in the more open-ended 3D worlds out there.
