### 5/5 — GREAT GAME

*2026-01-18, version 1.81*

ive been playing this since i was little

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2023-10-03, version 1.81*

Les mots ne sont qu’euphémismes pour décrire la grandiosité de ce jeu voir même meta jeu. Nietzsche a dit “Dieu est mort” mais il ne s’en réjouissait pas, il craignait les horreurs qui allaient être perpétrés au XXeme siècle car il ne savais pas qu’on s’en relèverait si bien, que Ready set goat fut créer. Les anges remettent en question leur perfection quand ils voient celle de ce jeu. Jesus a dit “La vie est vis je revis” surement une référence à ce jeu

### 4/5 — good game

*2023-03-31*

really fun game for when you’re bored, ages 6+ can play, only problem is it doesn’t work when you don’t have wifi, even if you have data

**Developer response:** The game should work on cellular data. Make sure you've got Cellular Data enabled for the Ready Set Goat in the iOS Settings app. If it's not working that's a bug, I can look into it

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-09-12, version 1.81*

I like it. Glad I can play it offline finally. Only wish it was a bit easier or had more ways to get collectables.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant

*2022-08-29, version 1.81*

My gf got me onto this and then I preceded to get 10+ of my mates playing at once - has to be good for that retention!

### 5/5 — Goat

*2022-08-24, version 1.81*

It about goat

### 1/5 — Mute mi hai un po’ deluso

*2022-03-28, version 1.8*

Volevi fregarmi soldi eh

### 5/5 — My 3YO loves this

*2022-02-06, version 1.8*

“It’s my favorite game”

### 5/5 — big fun!

*2021-11-14*

Controls and movement are awesome. The replay ability is surprising! The movement speed and jump distance start to make sense over time so new high scores always feel achievable! The apparel additions make leveling up a joyous experience and I can’t wait to brag to my friends about my high level, swagged out Goat!

### 5/5 — It’s a great fun game

*2021-03-17, version 1.8*

I love the game! Addictive but because you see yourself progressing and slowly climbing the leaderboard! Great artstyle and graphics, over all awesome five stars!
(One slight gripe, no points taken away, is that the game doesn’t fill the screen on iPhone X, leaving black bands down the side, doesn’t take away from the game just thought you might want to know)

*Season 2*

The game has changed! So much so, that we're kicking it off with a fresh Bleaterboard. Don't worry, your top scores from Season 1 are frozen in perpetuity. The Season 2 Bleaterboard is totally new, so it's the perfect time to get your score in, before it fills up!

You can still view the old scores on the Bleaterboard page.

Congrats to our top Season 1 Bleaters:

1 - Smabbott - 702
2 - HanooBanoo123 - 622
3 - BentanX - 577
4 - saradorable - 454
5 - Goldie Gamez - 422

8 - KitchenTiger - 369
9 - iheartsalinas - 360
10 - OsirisIsReborn - 355

*More Challenging Enemies*

We’ve introduced a new concept for enemies: hats! Hats double an enemy’s health, meaning you’ll have to stomp twice as many times to knock them out. You’ll now see both standard enemies and their tough hat-wearing counterparts throughout the updated early-game and in Random Mode.

*Chaos Gems*

To help offset these powerful new foes, you can now collect chaos gems. These gems drop any time you dispatch an enemy while on a combo streak. As long as you’re on a 2x or higher streak, each enemy knocked out will drop one gem. Prioritize queueing up enemies for combos, and you’ll be swimming in gems.

One thing to keep in mind: gems will only stick around for 5 seconds, so pick them up quickly!

*New Power-ups*

Every time you collect 5 gems, a mystery box will appear in the center of the stage. Each side of the mystery box contains a new and powerful aid in vanquishing the creeps: extra lives, added damage, or some surprises. We won’t spoil everything here, but try grabbing the mystery box from different angles to explore different strategies. Just keep in mind: powerups only last a limited time, so keep collecting those gems!

*8-bit lobby music*

*General performance improvements

Huge thanks to all the devoted players that shared feedback and helped shape this update. We’re thrilled at the early response to Ready Set Goat and will continue to add new gameplay and features in the coming months.
