This game is an epic story about an evil lord trying to escape the forces of justice. Unfortunately, all his mechanized death traps are standing between him and the rocketship to freedom.

This was originally intended for the 48 hour compo, but slipped as it turned out to be a bit more work than anticipated. If people like it, it might become a "real" game in the future. :-)

While there are no actual goats in the game, there might be some in the main character's lineage.
