"World's dumbest game" Goat Simulator launching on April Fools' Day...of course

Coffee Stain Studios announces release date for humorous PC game.

By Eddie Makuch on March 4, 2014 at 7:41AM PST

No Caption Provided

Goat Simulator, described by its creators as the "world's dumbest game," will launch for PC on April 1, better known as April Fools' Day. Created by Sweden-based Coffee Stain Studios, Goat Simulator takes inspiration from classic skating games, but here you control a goat.

Instead of nailing tricks, you will "wreck stuff," the developer says. "Charging into a table and knocking it over yields points, and if you can manage to do it while doing a backflip first and a 360 afterwards, you'll score even more points."

Goat Simulator also includes Steam Workshop support, meaning players can make their own goats, missions, and levels. The game will make its public debut at the Coffee Stain Studios booth at the 2014 Game Developers Conference later this month.

You can preorder Goat Simulator today for $10. The game has no multiplayer and is in development only for Windows PC, not Mac or Linux.

"Goat simulator is garbage!" "They charge for this trash!?" "TYPICAL LOW QUALITY GJ STEAM" "Gabe quit ruining gaming!"

Did I do Feedbackula right?

What happened to games being about having fucking fun? Is that not allowed anymore? Grow up you fools. If people want to pay 10 dollars to be a goat and grab park benches with their tongue then send humans flying through the air, let them do it.

@grenadehh It was never supposed to be a game. It was one of many quick creations made during an experiment in which developers where making multiple games in just hours.

It was the gaming community that blotted out the sun asking for this to be an actual release. Even Danny O'Dwyer dedicated a 'The Point" video to make the case why it should be released as a real game.

And i personally cant wait to play it.

<< LINK REMOVED >> People forget about that and willing accept practices that suck the fun out of games. I wonder if the reason they allow companies to get away with practices that suck the fun out of games is because they are too focused on graphics.

Sorry, won't buy until they add in the ability to eat anything and everything just like a real goat. Sort of like being able to pick up anything and everything in Skyrim, but only with goats...and eating.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >>Oh, I can hardly imagine what the modders will do with this. The main game is already quite bizarre, so what will people change? Hopefully, the engine doesn't cause trouble, crushing people's fevered dreams. At least, I don't think the games weirdness and modders' weirdness will cancel each other out.

@ShepardCommandr it was the actual customers and gamers that wanted them to release this,for the crazy notion that some of these gamers may have fun playing it and modders going crazy modding it.....but who plays games for fun right?

Lets all pay $60 just to play "Insert name of boring AAA shooter here" that will be much more fun *sigh*

@St0Ne4Ge "I dont like it so everyone else should not like it too." Yeah very mature.

Look they made it for a contest and put out the video for fun. Turns out people actually wanted it so they're bringing it out. Supply and demand, they'd be stupid not too.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >>It's a matter of opinion. I could say I think the PS4 is a step down compared to the PS3. There are some people who would agree with me because of the lack of BC and online multiplayer paywall. Likewise, there are people who don't care much about classics and enjoy PS+ for the random games it offers every month.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Exactly. I may not enjoy PS+, but other people do. I don't want PS+ to die off, just for Sony not to push people into subscribing for it by requiring it for online multiplayer on the PS4. (Just because you like something doesn't mean you should push it on someone else.) It's that kind of attitude that is keeping me away from the PS4.
