One of the funniest games around is now fully available and out of beta for Linux. Goat Simulator is pretty popular and for good reason, as it's just insanely stupid.

Ported to Linux (& Mac) by none other than Ryan "Icculus" Gordon it promises plenty of fun. There may be a few issues here and there, but they will get fixed up.

QuoteHey goats! The long awaited Mac and Linux ports are now finally availalble for everyone to enjoy. We've been working long and hard to make them happen, but now they're finally here.

The ports might still have a few issues but we will work hard to fix them asap. Please file any issues on the Steam forum or directly to our porter Ryan Gordon (@icculus) at his bugzilla.

The game itself is a parody of all the "x simulator" games to come out recently and has been a bit of a runaway success itself sitting near the top of Steam's top sellers list when it came out.

Check it out on Steam if you haven't already.


About
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. Destroy things with style, such as doing a backflip while headbutting a bucket through a window, and you'll earn even more points! Or you could just give Steam Workshop a spin and create your own goats, levels, missions, and 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.

I saw my ex-partner play it and it actually looked quite fun to play, and I can imagine after a few drinks with friends it would get even funnier.

If you have played it let us know what you think. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

One seriously twisted game. Bought on sale, and don't headbutt cars!

It is a very funny piece of software. I hope the few bugs will fixed soon and the performance will get better. And it has Steam Workshop Support, so the fun will never stop.

Still says beta when launched

I was thinking that this must be one of the hardest games to bug test, considering he has to distinguish between the "real" bugs and the ones which have been intentionally left in the game.
