Gizmoat is a strange little addition to the iOS App Store, out now

Author : Simon May 15,2025

Gizmoat is an intriguing new addition to the iOS App Store, featuring a unique endless runner game where you control a goat, aptly named Gizmoat, attempting to outrun an ominous cloud across a mountain landscape. Despite its seemingly straightforward concept, finding detailed information about Gizmoat proves to be a challenging task, making it a mysterious gem in the vast world of mobile gaming.

Our journey into the lesser-known corners of mobile games led us to Gizmoat, a title shrouded in mystery yet compelling enough to pique our curiosity. The game's minimal online presence, limited to its iOS App Store listing and a sparse website, adds to its enigmatic allure. From what we can gather, Gizmoat falls into the endless runner genre, with a twist of platforming elements, where the primary objective is to keep the goat moving forward, away from the ever-pursuing cloud. There's no clear win condition; instead, the challenge lies in surviving as long as possible, a hallmark of classic endless runners.

However, its minimal digital footprint outside of a few websites highlights a common issue with niche mobile games—limited visibility and discussion. It's unfortunate because, with more exposure, Gizmoat might reveal itself to be a hidden treasure within the genre.

If you're an iOS user intrigued by the mystery and willing to take a chance on a game that might surprise you, Gizmoat could be worth exploring. For those seeking a safer bet, our ongoing series "Off The Appstore" showcases new and exciting releases that you can find outside the typical iOS App Store and Google Play listings, offering a curated selection of games we know you'll enjoy.
