The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A quirky, cautious 2D platformer where you guide a cabbage-loving goat through trap-filled fields with only one life per level.

What players say

Players call Goat Life an asset flip and a cash grab with no sound, just 12 levels of the same thing that can be finished in 10 to 16 minutes. A few joke reviews find it fun for a laugh, but most say it is too short and simple to recommend even at a low price.
