Very fun racing game! I love how you made the modifiers change daily. Great job keep it up!

Submitted

Incredible visual presentation and concept. I was really impressed! The idea of "day to day modifiers" is so inspired and cool.

On 9/6/25, I found the platforming physics to be intensely aggravating: for some reason it felt like the game would randomly kill my momentum for no reason when I'm jumping which was very frustrating. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Submitted

I love this little horse!

I'm surprised to see you used Asperite, as the art style looks closer to vector art than pixel art. It looks lovely!

Submitted

I tried it again and reach 5 place on new rules c:

Submitted

The daily rules change is so unique! Really enjoyed the platforming and speed ceiling of the game as well. I'll be returning tomorrow to see what changes ;)

Submitted

INSAAANNEEEE!!!
The use of limitation in this blew my mind, this definitely will make me come back to play again tomorrow, I love this!

Submitted

I wished I can check out other rules, I guess I have to come back next day, smart xD Very nice entry, well done!

Submitted

Really unique entry! Don't think I've ever played a jam entry where I have to come back the next day to check what's changed. Randomized modifiers each day is definitely an unpredictable ruleset, and I like how missing jumps and hitting the wall isnt really an issue with the multiple wall jumps, it just kills your momentum. The online leader board is a fun addition, nice work with this one!

Submitted

Your art style is so cute!! Very fun concept, I agree with Koxsol that the level design could've facilitated going fast better, but judging by the leaderboards clearly that isn't an issue for some people! Managing to do that in less than 50 seconds is super impressive (or maybe they got better modifiers than me, which is another thing about this game I find very fun). Great job overall, I was expecting a knockoff spin on HorseRaceTests and was pleasantly surprised by a quirky platformer!!

Submitted

Really liked when it got speedy, but it felt like level design was more "Mario" than "Sonic", if you know what i mean. 

If the level design had complemented the character controls properly (More ramps and slopes, less platforms and steps), this game would've been a solid 10/10. Even then, it's still really fun.

Really nice game, I thought the leaderboard mechanic was a really nice touch.

Taking a break from constantly replaying the level to write this comment. 

Really fantastic job. Absolutely adore the presentation and the platforming mechanics, exactly as tight as they should be. We love a good slide mechanic but I wish there were more opportunities to use it and capitalize on the otherwise excellent momentum mechanics. You have a strong grasp on appealing visual language and information conveyance to the player that is inspiring, I'd appreciate the art design more if I wasn't so enthused to go as fast as I can through the level. 

Very addictive, I can see myself coming back daily just for a single go to see if the mechanics can give me a slight edge. 

Okay enough writing have to go back and beat my high score


again.

Well!! I kinda sucks at platforming game. lmao... but i find this game pretty entertaining

Submitted

I really like this art style! The mid air speed boosts are really fun.

Submitted

Now this is a really cool concept, has a lot of potential! And the art is really cute as well :)
By the way, I wish spacebar was an option to jump - my platformer controls are usually A/D/Space.

Submitted

I wonder how many more rules are in the game. I will definitely play again tomorrow. Leaderboard only shows the top 6 places :С

Submitted

Very strong game loop here. The momentum and physics for the movement felt very satisfying, well done!

Submitted

Really well made game! I love the visuals and the sound design they add so much to the game's ambience and make it so much more fun to play! The different rules are also really well thought out and nicely made! Well done and good luck!

Submitted

Really fun gimmick! I wish there was a button to restart from the beginning and wipe your time instead of just from last checkpoint. Overall fun time.

Submitted

Game is good, got our whole team to play through and compete on the leaderboard! Haha. I did notice sometimes it feels like I can get essentially a mid-air jump but wasn't able to do it consistently? I want to see more of what the random effects are and their game impact. Great job!
