Fun game, nice concept. Pretty challenging though, I couldn't get past level 6

Developer

THanks, and yeah I kind of intended to make a difficult game

Submitted

i suck at it lol, but i enjoyed the challenge

Developer

lol i suck too

I liked the concept and the control scheme! Even though I haven't quite mastered it yet—I'm just really bad at it, haha.

Developer

No worries, I'm also bad at it

Submitted

Love love love the indirect control over the horse, I think that is a really great idea for this jam and implementing the one hand control really cleverly.  I'm glad I only needed to get one horse across the finish line because I wasn't very good at this game haha. Nicely done.

Developer

And thanks thanks thanks for the comment!

Submitted

I came first because I love the chara design of you horse (really, this is not a joke), and I stayed for the gameplay which is also nice :) Simple but effective !

Developer (1 edit)

Ha thanks :) It seems like that you have posted the first comment appreciating the art of this game that feels real, I think

Submitted

I felt really stupid at first, because my horse always escaped to the top. I also hat a hard time bringing the horses back to center, when they were already way up. But it was very rewarding when I finally managed to get everyone to the finish line! Maybe you give players the ability to adjust the circle range of the mouse by how long they press it? :)
How about adding a leaderboard so people can compare how many horses they got over the finish line?

Very fun game!

THanks! and now that I think about it a leaderboard would be a very nice idea, I'll definitely try to figure that out. Thanks again

It has the vibe of the IQ games that is present in Play Store. And the cool way of controlling the horse is ingenious!.

Developer

wow im high IQ am i

Super cute concept and I love the clean, minimal art style. The indirect horse-control idea is really fun, even if it gets a bit hectic keeping everyone on screen (and the mouse radius feels kinda big). Only real hiccup is it seems a little broken right now — you can win by bringing just one horse to the finish, and the success message overrides the fail — but overall it’s a great little jam idea!

Developer

Ah thanks! the game sure is really broken. I tried to make it difficult with the radius thing but maybe it was too much that it became a bad thing. Thanks again

Submitted

Nice concept, I loved the minimal art style! But there's a small issue — you only need one horse to complete the level

Developer

Thanks! and oh yeah, I later realized that but the game would get frustrating so now only one horse is required

Submitted

really easy game, i just think the radius of the mouse was really big

Developer

Aw man

Submitted

Interesting concept, but it’s a bit broken, considering you just need to bring one horse to the finish line to win. You just have to ignore the “failure” message, a “success” one will override it. ;)

Developer

Oh that's true, thanks for the notice :) I guess I was too good when I tested the game so it never happened to me

So cute, really enjoyed the indirect way of controlling the horses! It's quite hard to keep them on screen, but really enjoyed playing - great concept, well done!
