The art style kind of reminds me of Rogue Legacy

The music is catchy enough.

Chiptunes were nice, found myself just listening in at the start of quite a few levels.

Graphics are certainly an improvement over the pixelated mess that was the first Escape Goat.

Very hard game to criticise. Not because it’s good, not because it’s bad.

It’s the middle of the road, it’s most definitely a game. But without anything really good or really bad to set it apart from the masses, it’s not going to change anyone’s mind about the puzzle-platforming genre.

If you liked the first Escape Goat, get this one. It’s more of the same with a slight graphical improvement. If you didn’t like the first game, then you can safely give this one a miss.
