Gameplay-wise, Goat Simulator is all about causing as much destruction as you possibly can as a goat. It has been compared to an old-school skating game, except instead of being a skater, you're a goat, and instead of doing tricks, you wreck stuff. more! When it comes to goats, not even the sky is the limit, as you can probably just bug through it and crash the game. This game includes time limited trials of Goat Simulator Payday, MMO, GoatZ and Waste of Space! Try before you give us money! DISCLAIMER Goat Simulator is a completely stupid game and, to be honest, you should probably spend your money on something else, such as a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe pool your money together with your friends and buy a real goat. PLEASE NOTE! Goat Simulator is free to download and play, however, additional levels can be purchased for real money. You can turn off the payment feature by disabling in-app purchases in your device’s settings. Also, under our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, you must be at least 13 years of age to play or download Goat Simulator.
