Mobile gamers crave dumb, glitchy goats as well as clashing clans

Last week, the ridiculous PC game Goat Simulator made the leap to mobile, and it’s already found success on those platforms.

Goat Simulator has already surpassed 100,000 copies sold on iOS and Android, according to developer Coffee Stain Studios. That comes just five days after the open-world game debuted on those mobile devices. Goat Simulator has players trying to perform insane and humorous tasks as the titular horned mammal, and the developer purposefully set out to make it all feel broken. With Goat Simulator already finding an audience on PC and now on mobile, it reveals that studios don’t necessarily need to pour a ton of resources into polish and production values as long as what they are making is interesting or funny. Goat Simulator sells for $5 on mobile, and it is also just the latest release to show that mobile gamers will occasionally spend a few dollars to download something despite an overabundance of free-to-play options.
