Really fun game! Congrats

Great game! Love the art and music. Needs more physics based objects like the beachballs :D

Also, loading time between levels was rather long, and after the fifth level or so, it didnt load the next one.

Very nice. Great job with a clever take on the theme.

After the second level it hangs on the black screen with the music playing and you can still move the horses. Love the concept though! And it looks and sounds great.

This is hilarious in concept and really adorable! The visuals are simplistic and really polished, the sound design is really cool (accordion sounds pitching up and down was a fantastic choice) and the gameplay is of a simple puzzle style I haven't seen before!

Top notch entry your team put out, super impressed!!

Excellent work, loved the presentation - sound design was great! Having the little physics objects to kick around was good fun. Definitely the most engaging sokoban I've played!

I did not realise that I required horse based sokoban in my life, well done!

Chef's kiss!

this is way more enjoyable than I thought it would be, but you get top marks just for the concept/title

Excellent job! One of the best games I've played so far in this jam. It was really intuitive to pick up and get used to. I liked the 3D art and chill soundtrack that kept playing. I played all the way until the end and would have kept playing if the game was longer. I would have liked to see other advanced mechanics to take the horse marriage to its extreme, but I understand how limiting the 48 hour window is lol. +++ points for a name that rhymes.

Adorable and fun. I loved the horsey head jiggle, it made it super responsive feeling. Also the beach balls were a lovely touch. I think I beat it cuz I got to a black screen? Great submission!!

Submitted(+3)

This is the most incredible thing i've seen all day.

Submitted(+3)

I would actually buy this were it a full game! It's so great!

Submitted(+3)

Super cute game! Very fun, would've liked more levels. Also, why are the horses in a office? Do they work there? 🤔

illicit workplace romance? 👀

Today I learned the market for horse marriage counseling is completely untapped. 

In any case, game is awesome, cute, and many laughs were had! Excellent work!
