Is it still worth playing?

A goat has to get out of a magical castle, room by room, jumping and dashing with a little mouse as a helper, in this 2011 puzzle platformer. Each room is a puzzle of objects that help and objects that hinder, to be worked out and used in the right order, and a hub world leads to the smaller worlds. A level editor lets you build rooms of your own. Made by one developer, it came out for the Xbox 360 first, on Windows in 2012, on Linux and the Mac in 2013 and on the Switch in 2022. A sequel came in 2014, with a new look, new puzzles and magical hats. The rooms are still a prison escaped one puzzle at a time, with the editor to lock a friend in afterwards.
