Simple and addictive premise. Artstyle fit together very well. Looping multiple horses is hard but very rewarding! Awesome job.

This is great, excellent tutorial, love the score counting sequence, looping a bunch of horses is super satisfying

The horse stacking is so ridiculous, it alone really elevates this game from pretty good to amazing. The dithered graphics are also really well done!

P.s: I got 22 horses :)))))

This is so silly and enjoyable, really enjoyed the flare of finishing and your cowboy horse looking so cool akira sliding in. Awesome work!

Because of this game I now want to start my own horse ranch. And I don't even like horses.

(Amazing game)

xDDDD How did you guys came up with this concept?
This is the most hilarious game I have seen submitted so far xD
But dont get me wrong, it is also good looking and fun, I think the only change I would have made is a wider view to see obstacles earlier before hitting them

A very polished experience for a game jam game, all the artwork, music and animations really come together nicely here. Also respect for having an actual tutorial.

The art, music and concept are all excellent. Stacking the horses made me chuckle every time I added more. Had a fun time with this one! My only complaint is that the obstacles were sometimes hard to see and I thought they were just things hidden in the backdrop until I hit them, I think their red outline was just slightly too subtle. The final cutscene was great too and the polish for this felt very high, nice work all round!

This game is soooooooo filled with creativity. Overflowing with it. From the idea at hand, to the horse stacking, to the AKIRA SLIDE, everything about this game made it such a fun experience!

Submitted(+3)

This game made me smile so much! The mechanics all really come together nicely with the positioning and I really like the comedy from the horse stacking and end animation. 

Submitted(+4)
