I liked the idea of use of the limitation a lot!

Submitted

This is such a fun concept! All of the game's aspects really come together.

Submitted

So fun, I really like the sound effects when you accidentally lick the tumbleweed!

Submitted

Loved the western film vibe

Great entry, fun concept, good use of limitation, and the art and music are all cohesive.

very original and wacky, love it, also suprised to have a leaderboard

Submitted

What a funny idea and the horse sprite is hilarious! I enjoyed it!

Submitted

This game is so funny! The tongue controls are a little difficult at first to figure out which way the tongue will start moving. Good sound effects and feedback to the player when things happened! Very nice visuals as well! Good Job!

This little game is fantastic and held my attention for quite some time. Love the implementation of a leader board as well to motivate players to keep going. I suggest you keep working on this and find a way to ramp up difficulty and make it a full fledged game. Nicely done.

Love it! You executed your concept super well. I thought with the slobber trail (?) it might be like snake, where you can't cross your old path until it disappears. That could be a cool enhancement if you ever add on to the game! I also really liked the added touches of multi-item combos. Nicely done, I enjoyed :)

The Horse almost puking from the bushes is hillarious. Also having a leaderboard is awesome. Maybe if the game ramped up faster,  so that it gets challenging quicker would be good. I dont know. This is very cool.

Developer

Hahaha, we took the sound from people doing the cinnamon challenge!

Submitted

REALLY?? thats amazing

This is a great little game! I love the way the movement works, very interesting learning to manoeuvre the horse around. As someone else mentioned I also ended up in a death spiral at one point, but a rogue tumbleweed knocked me out of it. Fun game!

Solid game! Simple concept, but well executed. The leaderboard is a nice touch. And the horse is so beeeaaautiful, lol.

Developer

Haha we had like a day and a half to pump something out for this jam so we were extremely careful with the scope! Thanks for playing :D

Instantly got into a death spiral around some cherries, 10/10

Developer

Uh oh, that does not sound good :D What do you mean by death spiral?

Submitted

The horse kept moving in circles

Developer

Ah I thought I was able to fix that bug, apparently not. Thank you for playing!
