Cookies eaten
Hmmmmmm I unfortunately did not eat any cookies but I drank a lot of soda and pizza yesterday which was pretty cool.

Cool game, I like the explosion it does when it starts haha ;) The clicking was a bit too exhausting for me, especially the marathon! I think I might have found a bug, because some horse was actually always wquicker than me (the red one I think), but I still somehow got first place. But it's fun and I llike that you implemented different skins :)

The P in Unicorn stands for PeacefulThis is best played two handed, one hand butterflies the LMB, and the other hand is ready to press the RMB in case of a piece of horse shit on the ground. Iam going to deduct points for that haha.

Pinball HorseMy mouse is broken now but i really liked your game!

Happy Organisms Runs Super ElegantI like the retro style, the excessive clicking to move and jump might be too much though. I ended up "cheating" and using both hands on the laptop trackpad to keep pace with the other horses.

Gear of the horseI'm glad you liked the style. I tried to make everything pretty consistent, even if it was a goofy theme. Definitely some range in clicking speed from person to person. I had some people playtest it and tried to tune the horses to be pretty fair but I imagine a trackpad would be much harder than a mouse to keep up with. Glad you enjoyed the game!
really cool retro vibe :3 also pretty enjoyable and skins are a cool addition

Horses Lost LandLoved the super minimal vibes and aesthetic of this one. I was terrible at it however. Nicely done!

Horse Divorce FishingLoved the retro computer game style. The concept was difficult for me, I'm so bad at spamming mouse due to my wrist so I hooked it up to a controller and it was fun. I didn't do well though, ahaha, my best time was 76.9. Hearing the "you need to lock in" was very funny as I was setting up my controller input. Overall, loved the presentation, the tutorial popups are sweet, and the opening was excellent.
Absolutely immaculate vibes, sound effects and music were perfect. It's quite minimal but I love the art as well, it fits the vibe. The overall presentation is great, good job. I got 49.1 on standard :)

Mini Horse RacingThe page and the game brought back fond memories of the Coleco from my youth. Everything in this game is the perfect level of bodacious gnarly radness, tubular! (or something like that)

Leading HandThis is so funky, I love it. Not sure how I got first place with 74 seconds, but I'll take it! The sound effects sell the experience so well and even though the artwork is very minimalistic - it gets the point across and I actually think it adds to the charm a lot. I also really loved how you had pop-ups showing the mouse controls to explain how to play. I thought that was really clever and clear. Great work!
