HiddenAudioLog – Xbox Live Indie Game of the Year 2011:

“Escape Goat is the definition of a complete package, and is borderline flawless at what it sets out to achieve. That’s why Escape Goat is not only Hidden Audio Log’s Xbox Live Indie Game of the Year of 2011, but probably the best Xbox Live Indie Game ever.”

Destructoid – Manasteel’s A Better List than Microsoft’s “Best of 2011: Indie Games”:

“Escape Goat is from the same creative developer that gave us the Soul Caster titles. The game offers the players a lot as a puzzle based platformer, especially once you create your own puzzle rooms. As a Goat, you have to escape your persecution with the help of a rat, a magical hat, and a lot of planning. It’s shocking what one single developer can create and this is indeed a good game. “
