This was really fun, I got a high score of 23! The graphics were incredibly clean, and especially worked well to contribute to a great, fast paced game feel, and looping a lot of horses felt pretty satisfying. It'd be cool to see some endless mode where you do this until you run out of lives, with the extra speed making it more difficult.

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

i've played quite a few wrangling games here and this one's got the smoothest feeling mechanics by far. the art here is absolutely gorgeous and the horse stacking is so delightfully silly - i love the way they sway around. and the akira slide at the end?????? cinema

By far my favorite game of this jam!!!! Absolutely incredible, hats off to you!! The level of polish, chaos, the absurdity, the humour, just fantastic! Beautiful graphics and color palette, the gameplay is so much fun, funny, and easy to pick up, and I could barely concentrate once my horses started stacking because of how hilarious and absurd the whole thing was. And even down to the clever title! I could go on forever really, such an awesome game!! Also I wish I could save the soundtrack to my Spotify lol well done, team!

Legitimately the first game I've given 5/5 in every category in all my ratings for the jam. Delightfully absurd in every aspect of the game, solid graphics, and a creative take on the "make a circle around the targets to collect them" theme that also makes sense in the theme of the game. The horse Akira slide at the end is pure art.

So much silly fun concentrated into just a few minutes. Wonderful submission.

The style and humor are IMPECCABLE. The wild west vibe. The Leaning Tower of Horse™️. The explosions. Why am I reminded of bringing down ATATs on Hoth? You have birthed a beautiful thing.

This was such a fun game!! I laughed out loud multiple times because the combination of sound, fun, and absurdity made for such a hilarious experience. Love it!! I managed to get 30 horses in a stack but I know more can be done....

I love how the horse explodes when hitting obstacles! sooo funny! XD

Submitted(+4)

The graphics are absolutely stunning ! Really liked them ! The gameplay is nice, i could suggest one thing though, showing where the obstacles will come from, because most of the time i get destroyed by the rocks without much time to react. Other than that, great one ! :D

A cowboy horse with a stack of horses is a crazy and awesome idea for a game, and you pulled it off so well. The game looks great, is tons of fun to play, and becomes so engaging and intuitive once you start to get on a roll. Great job!

The horse doing the akira slide and the horses "popping" off the top at the end absolutely killed me, this is such a slick game!
