Goat's Tale Adventure

The life span of a goat is about that of a dog. and mine will be shorter if i don't get treasure 23

Most jumps are either pixel perfect precision or pure luck because of how the character tumble mechanic works. The game also has constant frame drops which is very annoying, especially in the third area. I get that this is supposed to be a difficult game but it definitely needed more ironing out before release

I've only played 30 minutes and i'm enjoying it. The treasures can be placed in very tricky locations but figuring out how to get them feels good. The difficulty could ramp up but for now it's felt like a good balance of falling, repeating and learning. Some sections that initially felt difficult become second nature as you pick yourself up to climb again. If the idea of failing, repeating, then improving is not your thing then this won't win you over, but the simple controls make it easier to just focus on the jumps and get them right. If the difficulty spikes later and becomes unreasonable then i'll amend this, but so far it feels like they got it just right.

This is one of those games where you go: "Neat, this was a fun entertainment for cheap. Time to uninstall it and play something else." So it's okay at best and at worst it's a game which doesn't bring anything new to toy with. There might be pricier games than this but for 1$, that's still hefty price for a teeth grinding session.
