Key points

Game will be purposefully buggy for the sake of humor; bugs causing the game to crash are not intentional, and fixes for them should be included here.
Missing GoatVille High from the mobile version.

  2. Verified by User:SargeCassidy on 2021-07-23
    Tested with a keyboard and a wired Xbox One controller (model 1708). The game allows only the input which responded to the start screen prompt. Pressing the corresponding button on the controller only allowed the controller input in the game and the same follows for the keyboard.
