I love the very elegant movement of the happy organisms ;) And I like that you added music and horse noises! The title name is 10/10 I must say. That being said, I had flashbacks to presentations in school when I saw the Comic Sans font, but maybe you picked it on purpose to trigger old people xD I would have loved it if there was some story (e.g. getting to buy something cool with the money in the end / losing your wife & children because of debt), or a shop to buy something (e.g. skins) or another mechanic apart from luck. But maybe I'm just not enough of a gambler :) Overall, nice game!

I really enjoyed this game, I found it fun. I'm new to game development and since I liked the game so much I will think about making a similair game (gameplay wise) as a way of learning.
It was fun watching the horses go and how one would be winning but then one would overpass another.
It was satisifying seeing my horse win.
The movement of the horses and choice of music was well done. The game fit very well with the theme of horses.
Don’t bet on Happy! I lost all my money 😭
Cool, satisfying game! GJ!
I liked the both the art and the game, although the game feels like lottery.... yet the funny horses make it better. Whats the name fo the brown one?
The game is one of a kind, I love the idea, but I felt like a bit of a degenerate gambler trying to get just one win
Tried like 50 times and didn't win. At least i have an infinite supply of 50$
Cute and short loop. Like another commenter mentioned, it took me some time to understand how to place a bet (1-6 on the keyboard, for people reading this comment). After bashing my keyboard enough to find that, I placed a couple of bets, and lost them all. Reminds me with I don’t gamble, haha!

This game brought my gambling addiction back :(. Joking aside, it was actually fun to finally win after some rounds.
Winning felt very satisfying! Nice work. It took me a minute to figure out how to select a horse (number pad), but once I got the hang of it I was gambling my brains out.

Gambling is not about winning - it's about the debts you made along the way





This motivated me to start gambling!
