The goal of the game is to [[Wreaking Havok|Wreak Havok]] on the sandbox (where the AIA.I. humans are [[Artificial Stupidity|not the brightest]]) and complete objectives, while licking objects, blowing up cars, finding secret spots, marvelling at the [[Stylistic Suck]], etc.

Line 19 ⟶ 20:
** ''GoatZ'' lampoons zombie survival games.
** ''Waste of Space'' parodies ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Mass Effect]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'', among many ''many'' others.
* [[Alien Abduction]]: If you carry an odd bowl-like item you can find in the garage of the house closest to the pen in which you start and put it on a post in the middle of one of the [[Crop Circles]], a [[Flying Saucer]] will beam you up and leave you in orbit. (Don't worry, you'll get respawned in Goatville in a couple minutes, or you can speed up the process...)
* [[Easter Egg]]: Finding hidden location and power-ups gets you achievements.
* [[Crop Circles]]: A pair can be found in the fields of Goatville.
* [[Ladder Physics]]: The goat character does it completely perpendicular to the latter, and never actually puts it's hooves inside the ladder itself; in effect the goat is hovering its way up the ladder.
* [[Easter Egg]]: Finding hidden locationlocations and power-ups gets you achievements.
* [[Flying Saucer]]: You can summon one.
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: If you drag five humans to the hidden ritual pentagram in the mountains overlooking Goatville, you can get a special reward...
* [[Indy Escape]]: Averted by the humans onto whom you can roll giant boulders in both Goatville and Goat City Bay.
* [[Interface Screw]]: Happens during the brief [[Mushroom Samba]] you experience if you lick the white powder...
* [[Ladder Physics]]: The goat character does it completely perpendicular to the latter, and never actually puts it'sits hooves inside the ladder itself; in effect the goat is hovering its way up the ladder.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: There's a house in Goat City Bay where you can interrupt a drug deal. If you then lick the white powder on the table...
* [[Ragdoll Physics]]: Uses this heavily.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: The [[Steam]] page, quoted below, points out its game is [[Brutal Honesty|"completely stupid"]].
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Everything from random gas bottles to an entire filling station, sometimes if you just look at it wrong.
* [[Vent Physics]]: Air vents on top of some of the buildings give varying degrees of vertical lift to the adventurous goat.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://goatsimulator.gamepedia.com/Official_Goat_Simulator_Wiki The Official Goat Simulator Wiki].
* [[Wreaking Havok]]: Encouraged, since the physics engine is designed to be ultra sensitive.
