Silly, great style and fun, if a little shallow. Very satisfying if you do manage to close a massive loop.

This game was great fun! The mechanics feel smooth, and I like how they incorporate the theme. The well fittedsoundtrack and the silly retro art style really combine to make this a super cohesive experience.    I love how the horses you lasso hop on your back and track your score for the cool sliding animation at the end. Top quality game, well done!

It makes me so so happy to hear our game’s mechanics felt smooth! Programming the lasso mechanic was tying my brain up in knots LOL so I’m really glad it paid off. Thank you so much for the kind words!

Something this silly has no business being this good. You did an amazing job!

Easily the best game I've played in this jam so far! things I like:

  • a catchy sound track with variations
  • the dithered graphics
  • the silly horse stacking
  • ability circle multiple horses at once is really impressive
  • animations/camera angles/movements are quality
  • also a whole bloody tutorial (bonus marks for the running off the screen at the end)
  • oh and how could you forget the Akira slide! what styleeeeee
  • its fun!!

Well done, incredible work!!!
