i really liked riding pony, and have learned about multiple new usa states now!

Was really fun! Feel like I've learned so much about American history!

The controls are vile, but in a good way 😅 took me quite a bit of time to get any resemblance of control in this game. The art is really well done, and very SBIG! Sound effects are also on point!

Overall a really solid entry. Well done!

This game makes me hope "educational" wins as a category one of these years.

A very straightforward but interesting game, the visuals and audio are on point, no notes there! The Wilson screams are especially nice, I appreciate the continuity of Tom Hanks in your entries.

The controls are flipped and awkward but the game isn't too punishing on that front and allows the player to go into the negative lives, so I found it more funny than frustrating once I discovered that.

The games simple, but it's very SBIG, great work!

this seems very accurate to how they used to do things in cowboy times

Somehow the controls are the exact opposite of what’d make sense to me, and my brain has utterly failed to adapt. GG.

WILSON!

WILSOOOOOOOOOON

I love the parallax on the shutterstock background

I didn't expect the horse to move like... a space ship

and honestly the fact that the controls are tilted 90 degrees compared to a normal driving game, it feels so unintuitive it almost feels like I am playing this kind of game for the first time again.

Great job! Very sbig.

There's not a lot to this game but it manages to be very, let's say, subversive with what it has. I knew it was going to be weird going in, I did not know how bizarre it was truly going to get.

I made it to Nevada- sadly I did not have the coordination to actually dodge anything with the janky controls. When the lives rolled over to -1 I kinda stopped trying, and getting a game over at I think -4 was a rude surprise.

Truly this is one of the games ever made. The presentation is immaculate, and the gameplay riviting, but I had no idea what the controls were for the first 30 seconds tbh. 7.8/10, too much sand.

This is brilliant! I loved the George Washington paintings, and the "WILSON!" sound effect.

WONDEROUS. I will add the magic gravity-defying pink express pony in my DnD campaign.

This is AMAZING! I love the attention to detail :)
