The cloverleaf pattern was a little obscure to work out, but I was able to not get disqualified for a while so I count it as a win! I think you nailed the atmosphere and presentation though. Also controlling the horse felt very satisfying. The bonding mechanic was a little obscure too, but overall a cute and enjoyable entry. Say hi to your 10 horses!

I couldn’t figure out what exactly was intended by cloverleaf pattern. Even doing my best to carefully read the cw, ccw, ccw, barrel order instructions resulted in being disqualified. The cue system wasn’t all that clear to me either. Sometimes it would increase with space and sometimes it would go down.

The game feel for controlling the horse is really fun. You nailed the aesthetic with the environment and music choice.

Nice game, Love the aesthetics and controlling horse is fun, I got disqualified though but I enjoyed the vibe and music. Nice work! 

I'll be honest, I couldn't figure out how to use the cues successfully. It appeared as if they were always available from the text prompt, but sometimes the bar went up and sometimes it went down.

I appreciate the support for controllers. Also for input rebinding, something I have yet to include successfully in any game, jam or otherwise. (Though rebinding the bond button on controller seemed to cause the game to lag out a ton afterward and I needed to refresh the browser.)

Here's my best result:

I had a fun time with it! I'd have done more if there was more to do. Great job making a game jam entry while having 10 (awesome) horses in your lives!

Always nice to see animals, and I don’t see too many horses in these jams. Had to look up barrel racing, but was neat to learn about. Good job getting this working, paths can be annoying to work with.

I was unfamiliar with barrel racing also but only got disqualified once. It would be nice if it showed a ring on the ground or something to indicate how close to the barrel I had to stay. I only managed 22 or 23 seconds as my best time. Wasn't sure how the spacebar mechanic worked.

A neat concept! Nice work!

14.77. I had to look up barrel racing on youtube to figure out how to play your game. I think your controls are impressive. I don't really understand the cue thing so I just mashed space bar. Good job!

Ten horses, huh?
You are truly lucky...and was I for trying this cool game, and learning about that racing challenge.

16.20 was my best. Very polished entry, I enjoyed it!

About 17s after a few tries… It was actually more enjoyable than I thought (no offense), the controls are well balanced and the music is enticing :D Nice job!

Nice job! I enjoyed horsing around ;D

Would be a looooot easier if there was a drawn pattern on the ground of how to go around the barrels, especially for the non horse barrel knowledgeable like me. Or even just a diagram that pops up at the beginning of the game.

Overall though, it's bug free and plays nicely ^o^

naturally this one has a bit of a learning curve, but you guys killed it with how satisfying it is to play as the horse, as well as the environment. Despite failing a bunch of times... I just kept trying! 23.39 for me :) 

Also, huge points for putting your real life passion into a game - I love horses!

Very interessting play. My best was 25.2. At first I was a little bit confused on the mechanics but then it clicked. Was a fun little play.

Definitely needs a visual tutorial - every time I tried, I got disqualified after the first barrel on the right.  Maybe I need to go around it even more, but I feel pretty confident I managed to get a clover pattern :(

I wish it has visual instruction like a picture on the tutorial or highlight. I didn't know about the clover pattern barrel racing so I did have to research on it . But once I know how to play it was fun because the horse controller is really nice. I tried a few times to get the best score and I got 17.0 .  

The horse controller is really well made.

It was enjoyable to ride the horse around! The controls feel satisfying and the environment is well made.

The connection theme isn’t very clear to me, but it’s obvious from the attention to detail that you really love horses! Congratulations!

As a barrel racing expert...

Just kidding, but I did notice I can circle a barrel multiple times without disqualification. 

Great job, I like the way it looks and plays.

Really loved the horse animations but I'm not sure how to get the bond up despite doing the clover patterns, but great job nonetheless, the movement is really satisfying!

Great game!  Horse controls well with both keyboard and gamepad.  Looks promising.

“Actually, you surprised me — it’s impressive what’s possible to build with the Godot engine. The 3D work and the horse movement were really nice!
