How do you finish this in 4 days?

Having four people with a talented artist helps! And a lot of spaghetti code… 🫣

Yo, Rhino for the win, great and especially funny game (at least for me). Tbh if you didn't put the *4 & *8 speed, my enjoyment would have been totally different haha, so really good call i think. Also the animation make it funnier, especially the first time i saw the car. Good job! AH, i forgot, great choice for the music, perfect fit!

Very creative take on the theme! I liked how wide of variety there was in terms of the vehicles and jockeys. Not too many racing games will pit giraffes against cars. I did find a ran into a glitch when I clicked "8x speed" when the race was ongoing, but apart from that I quite enjoyed this.

Sadly on round 7, I encountered a gray screen bug, that I could not fix. This is a ton of fun and will bookmark it for later. 10/10 experience

Ah, the spaghetti code finally bites back 😔 I’m glad you enjoyed it anyway, thanks for playing!

Such a good vibe to this game! Between the commentary in the corner and the camera switch in the last turn, close races were fun to watch!

Deja vu I've just been in this place before

That is what came to mind after my totally legit horse won its first race. Really had a lot of fun with this, honestly fantastic job!

Great game, I love the variety of horses and all the jockey abilities, I had a lot of fun trying lots of them out. Good job!

The jockey designs are so charming! I like the humor of the game, it adds to the enjoyment as I watch my horse scurry around the track at 4x speed xD

I chose this because horses and it only got better from there. I lost it when I saw a jockey on a car. Also I love how all the horses have the same running animation LOL.

All these needs is a cleaned up UI and we got game of the year. I started a race with the time sped up 8x and all the horses flew off the track. 10/10

I love the different "Horses" ahahah. It was super useful that you could speed up the time. The only thing i would improve is adding more ability to interact with the race.

This is so gas, my giraffe got cooked because I didn't realize I could upgrade my shop till too late, but all the little sounds and aesthetic really made it!
