I did it!! I'm just sad there's no music :(

I love launch games and this one is fantastic, hard to imagine making this in a day!

Not adding sound is an additional challenge that nobody benefits from... I get wanting the game to stand without them and having to rely on other forms of juice, but games always feel so flat without sound

Fun, but missing source link!

It is a zip file on the entry itself

At first I thought "it's just Nanaca Crash with a horse", but then the roguelite mechanics appeared.

That added a lot of fun to the nostalgia. 

I think maybe the horse shoe item is the weak point - it seemed too easy to get them and before long I had an endless run where I was progressing very slowly but my horse shoes were always increasing. I think maybe less horse shoes + you can only hold one at a time would have been more exciting.

I still had a lot of fun.

This game is absolutely amazing! So addicting!
