  • The faster you answer a goat correctly the higher you score for that goat
  • Each CLASSIC levels has its own sequence of goats (not random)
  • All other game modes play random goats in any order
  • To unlock all levels and game modes you need to get high scores by answering correctly and quickly
  • To find out the unlock score for each game mode look at the stats screen or select the locked game mode from the game mode selector on the home screen
  • There are 972 individual goats in the game, most of them are very ugly
    • Each goat always plays the same noise

Game Mode – CLASSIC

  • If you get a wrong answer you are deducted the number of points you would have got if you had answered correctly
  • To get 3 stars on a level you need to answer all noises correctly and score a minimum number of points
  • The minimum number of points gets higher and higher as you progress through the levels
  • To get above 20,000 on a level you probably need to start memorizing the goat sequence and move your fingers efficiently
  • For amazing scores above 23,079 you are awarded with different coloured stars :
    • Orange to yellow to red to black
    • Black stars are actually ninja shurikens
    • To get all 3 black stars you need to score 23,400 or more
    • The stars are displayed on the level over screen and the level select screen

Game Mode – POO BUCKET

  • Bigger poo will fill your bucket more quickly than smaller poo, just like in real life
  • If you get all the poo from one goat you get a golden poo bonus
  • These bonuses multiply. If you get all the next goat’s poo too will get twice as much golden poo!
  • You can remove the current goat immediately by tapping it
  • To fill the bucket in under 25 seconds you need the x2 combo bonus golden poo (get 100% of all the poo from the first and second goats)
  • To move the bucket to the other side of the screen instantly, just tap with your free hand where you want the bucket to go. Two handed technique!

Game Mode – BEAT THE SHEPHERD

  • The shepherd will only challenge you to a game mode that you have unlocked
  • For CLASSIC level challenges, the shepherd always picks the level you've scored lowest on
  • The target score for a challenge is usually slightly higher than your best score
  • The shepherd you see is actually the game developer, Gareth, dressed up and wearing a wig while his wife was out

Game Mode – HERO LEVEL 1, 2, and 3

  • In HERO mode if you get a wrong answer the game ends and you score nothing
