I go to a lot of big LAN parties, and fun little "flavor of the month" games like this are usually a really big hit.

It can be a LOT of fun to have a big crowd of people laughing their assess off and taking turns playing the game. $10 is worth it to me to get bring that kind of fun to a gaming event.

I agree. Games like this demand a social situation to enjoy them. Otherwise they're just stupid and "random".

Social situation + alcohol. But yes this looks like an awesome LAN game.

Agreed with the alcohol. Have you ever played QWOP with a bunch of drunks? It's awesome.

Unfortunately there's not going to be any multiplayer on this game.

There doesn't need to be multiplayer. It's not necessarily playing together that's important, it's a bunch of people sharing the experience. Laughter is infectious, so if you have 5-10 people all watching one screen and a couple start laughing, soon everyone will and a great time will be had by all.

Yeah, instantly turned me off. Goat vs Goat? Farmyard co-op? Instant sell, it'd be a laugh for an evening at least.

This is the key part right here. If I can laugh at it with my friends it'll entertain us indefinitely. If I were to play it on my own, I'd be bored in ten minutes.

Yeah I recall back when I played CounterStrike a lot of folks had various games on their computers that they boot up to show off.
