I was confused at first, but once I understood the game it was actually really interesting. Horse placement manipulation that is also cartoonish and funny? Now that's fun, loved the execution. I'd say you could add more UI visuals and more animations to make the game even more fun, as I noticed the UI buttons look like the generic buttons you get in Unity if you don't change their sprites. But then the cartoonish art and the style kept me hooked enough to try and figure the game out, and I did! The game is really fun, well done!

Geo PhobiaAbsolutely loved the bookie character, the art and dialog is very well written. I found the concept of the game to be really interesting and well executed, although a bit confusing at times. I think there is definitely a learning curve for this, but I really enjoyed it. Well done!

Stranded at Star MartThe character design and audio in this were great!
The gameplay itself was a little unclear and I never did successfully figure out how to properly rig a race. The fat man kept getting angry with me :(

Do Not BurnHaha this was awesome. I thought it was great and then saw you built this on your own and I'm even more impressed. This art was incredible and the crooked items were hilarous.

Traverse the DoodleverseCool take on the theme, and a fun puzzle to play with. One thing that was kind of frustrating was that ties blocked me from getting my horse in the right (strange) place sometimes.

Strange PeelacesI love the art style and feel, the puzzle aspect was pretty fun!

Galactic Disc GolfLiked the idea. I had thought of something similar at the beginning, but could never think of a way to make it work; you found one. I would say have you click the house instead of the lane, and have it be clearer if there are horses behind the pack. Still, I love the idea, and making a puzzle game out of this was brilliant. The bookie is funny, too.

Curling on sandI love that take on the theme! the art and dialogue fit together amazingly! if I had one nitpick it would be that the UI is a bit hard to understand at first, but overall nice job!

Cataclysmic ConstructionGreat art and sounds! It was super tricky trying to rig those races!

Edge of Reality Travel AgencyI liked the art and music a lot. Took me a few goes to fully get it, didn't realise when the horses tied they were in the same place. Really funny, and a good take on the theme.

The Missing ThreadsReally liked the artstyle, but i found it very confusing which horse was wich. i got the hang of it after a while but there was a lot of information to take in.
