GAME DESCRIPTION:

A reverse beat-em-up where you’re moving through the streets of London, trying to control a horse with a mind of its own, in an attempt to stop them from destroying everything in it’s way.

STORY:
You play as a member of the royal guard, tasked with escorting an unruly horse back to Buckingham Palace from where it had previously escaped. The only problem is that this horse has no regard for decency, etiquette or any notion of fair play. He’s incredibly surly, easily distracted, always leaping at bikes like a rodeo bull, kicking at the air towards anything vaguely human-shaped and all too eager to charge into cars made in Europe for some odd reason.

You wouldn’t want the Queen to lose her mind...lest you lose your head! So, whip this horse back into shape! Reign him in! Get him back to Buckingham Palace before he turns all of London upside down!

GAMEPLAY:
- Left click and drag across the screen with the mouse to shift the reigns of the horse’s muzzle so they may move across the screen and ever closer towards the goal (Buckingham Palace).

- There is a destruction threshold which increases whenever the horse destroys something or injures someone by kicking or charging into them. When the threshold tops out, it’s game over.

- The player can stop the horse from attacking and changing direction suddenly by yanking at the reigns with the mouse right at the apex of a given animation or visual windup cue (timed QTE).

- If the horse’s violent antics are left to become too frequent, the player can be knocked off from the horse, forcing them to chase after it and get back on with a double-press of the space bar before it causes further civic damage (there are moments that will force the player to dismount the horse by themselves to open gates).

- Open gates by pressing AS and D at the same time

- At the end of a successful run, the player is graded on a local leaderboard based on how quickly they managed to escort the horse to the palace and how much destruction was avoided on the way there.
