Escape Goat 2 weaves the same mystical tale as its predecessor, starring a goat and a mouse platforming their way out of prison, where the goat was originally incarcerated for using witchcraft. The main difference in the sequel is the graphical overhaul - Escape Goat launched on XBLIG and PC in 2011 as a single-screen puzzle platformer with decidedly a retro visual style. Escape Goat 2 features art by Randy O'Connor, and it certainly is a step (or a ramming leap) up.

Escape Goat 2 is slated for a launch on PC this year, from developer Magical Time Bean. Escape Goat, the original magical goat game, is on Steam Greenlight right now.

The sequel will retain the single-screen puzzle level structure of the original, as well as its protagonists: a purple goat accused of witchcraft, and his mouse friend in a magic hat.

The most notable change to the formula is the graphical style. Escape Goat 2 has a much richer, pixel-dense art style than the original, courtesy of artist Randy O'Connor. MagicalTimeBean also plans to integrate "some new gadgets and perhaps new creatures." The sequel will debut on PC; plans for an XBLIG release are currently undecided.

If you're wondering just what Escape Goat is all about, we recommend trying the game's browser-based demo.
