This is a clicker game - You only need a mouse to play it! Even the shop menu is opened up with a mouse button.

Let's just say I started with a tray of rice krispy treats and ended with two empty ones!

I never thought I'd have that much fun whacking a horse! 😂
Was hoping for the pinata to pop eventually. :D
It does pop! Just keep whacking!
I loved the idea of a moving target in a clicker game! I wish there was more to buy in the shop. :) loved seeing a clicker game, the first game i ever made was a clicker game too!
Thank you! I was aiming for a piñata style clicker. Would’ve loved more items as well but that’s just what you get with a 3 day jam!
I forced the horse out of bounds using an autoclicker at max speed xD
Haha I had no idea you could do that! I did a ceiling so it wouldn’t go off screen, but I didn’t put any walls! It probably went off to the side and then swung up and got stuck on the roof!
very nice game! the swinging rope looks really nice. i was so locked into clicking, the end surprised me haha
haha yea it’s meant to be a bit of a pop-up surprise. I’m glad you had fun!
The concept isn't bad at all, but I couldn't really play comfortably. The screen didn't scale properly and I could only see a part of it, though the idea itself was good.
There should be a full screen button on the bottom right corner on the itch page. I couldn’t figure out to make it work without playing in full screen.
pretty fun lil clicker :3
would have been cool if there were some passive upgrades that also hit it
(Also the resolution is broken on 1440p monitors, it was playable, but it only took up a small part of the screen)
oh no! I’m sorry it was off for you. I had it set to 1920 x 1080p since that’s what most monitors are at. I’m glad you were still able to get some fun out of it!
Really enjoyed the concept and very polished art, well done!
Thank you! I can’t tell you how long I spent mulling over color palettes haha
Love the creative idea for the given theme! Managed to get all the candies!
Yay! That’s the goal!
A nice and polished clicker game! I liked your spin on this idea. I kind of wish the sound effect would change with each weapon, but I still found whacking this horse to be super satisfying. Great work.
Aaah I had that idea too! Sadly it was almost deadline time so I couldn’t add it! I’m really glad you found it enjoyable regardless.
Ahh, a clicker game about whacking a horse — what more could you ask for? 😂
Very well polished game — I’m looking forward to more upgrades and some passive horse-whacking
thank you! I’m glad you thought it was polished - I definitely felt like there was more I could do, so that’s very nice to hear!
Very creative idea for the theme and limitation, nicely done!
Thank you!
Fun little clicker game! You said my lasso sound effect does something but listen to that shop slide up and down sound effect, ooo wee! Nice Job!
Haha thank you! The shop sound effect is actually a horse snout & exhale noise. Ya know, for the horse theme and all.
Awesome I love your Kinks this is 5/5
Thank you!
Love the simplicity of the game and the art is pretty! It would of have been funny if you had a story that went along with it like the horse begging to stop being hit by a stick, carrot, etc. or if the horse was excited to finally be let go of being a pinata! Really cool game! Good job!
Haha I love that. I did think it would be funny to give him a googly eye that follows the mouse and some kind of "ouch!" face - but I didn't have time to implement it!
Love this! Short but sweet, and the physics were a great touch.
Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it
Great idea, whacking a pinata as a incremental game! I dont think I have seen a clicker game with physics before. The animations of the UI was really smooth and I liked the color scheme. Minimalistic and clean!
Thank you! The physics was definitely a challenge to implement, but I think it made for a fun experience!
Very simple game but so fun to play. The physics were impressive and it was surprisingly hard to pin the horse in one corner. While the graphics are simple, I appreciate how polished and professional they look. Made it my mission to beat the game as fast as a could and got the Riding Crop in just under 30 seconds.
I’m glad you liked it! I intentionally made the game shorter so other jammers could finish it faster and move on to playing other games :)
