 The game has been compared by the developer as akin to skateboarding games , but where the player controls a goat aimed at doing as much damage as possible around an open world map , without any other larger goals . The game , initially developed as a joke prototype from an internal game jam and shown in an early alpha state in YouTube videos , was met with excitement and attention , prompting the studio to build out the game into a releasable state while still retaining various non @-@ breaking bugs and glitches to maintain the game 's entertainment value .
