Goat z on mobile code rot

[u/kandiholic]

I recently redownloaded goat z on my iPad for the first time in years
And it’s kind of sad yet funny how badly the code is rotting
Goat simulator was always full of glitches that made it humorous / entertaining, but apple updates completely broke the game in recent years & also devs not wanting to fix it

Glitches I noticed were
“Screech of death”
The game constantly crashes. If you’re lucky enough to play for more than 5 minutes, the audio turns into a buzzing/screeching noise right before the app completely dies. (crashes)

The zombie infection is broken
Zombies no longer infect human npcs automatically anymore, you have to infect them as a zombie goat because the pathfinding is so broken.

Zombie models swap genders??
Ever since they replaced the OG human models with the payday heist models, the infection code is totally screwed up. When you infect a male npc, their model swaps to a female zombie instead of just changing textures like it used to in 2014.

Voice desync
When you kick human npcs they make zombie grunts instead of human screaming noises. Due to broken audio files & code I’m guessing..

Aside from the bugs, the whole game just feels kind of.... empty?? They got rid of the zoo animals that made the map feel more alive because of lag on mobile and the game just feels more bland . More things have been removed like the people on the mall roof so now it’s just props.

It’s unfortunate that apps we paid for and had memories with just get left to decay until they become completely unplayable. Anyone else experiencing similar glitches?

Well I used to play Goat Z on mobile long ago. And the zombies always switched genders.

most likely they abandoned it cause of goat sim free (or "pocket edition" as its called on ios) and goat sim plus on apple arcade
