Funny yet challenging game. I included it in my Touhou Jam 5 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Simple and effective gameplay !
An addictive runner with some upgrades, nice job !
I manage to block my stability bar (don't ask me how : I was looking for the counter eating key), prefered to restart a run since it is way funnier the classic way =D
Some floaty candy could had been nice, like you would had to both jump and eat on specific timing =P
The game mechanism is concise while attractive. And the music is stylishly arranged. Though I am not good at this type of games, I still try to survive longer to hear the full audio.
Hey this is a nice idea and it's put together well! I like the upgrade system, though I feel like what's really missing for replayability is some reason not to just do the same action, like obstacles that aren't candy or you're not supposed to jump over because they pass under you. Anyway i liked getting into the zen of playing it once i got the hang of it. The eating timeframe seems a bit small and arbitrary and I just started timing it with when the candy gets to the horse's horn, but that's not bad or anything. I do wish the UI for keeping her upright was closer to the head so I didn't have to play funny eye games the whole time, but I adapted to it quickly enough. Anyway, great job!
Perfect concept with flawless execution. Beautiful.
Detailed animations, simple yet challenging controls and objectives, decent character and background arts, soothing and relaxing music. What else can one expect from a jam game?
And it even has a progression system that keeps you around for awhile.
Here's my personal best. I don't think I can lose by only jumping so I started eating candies along the way. It's matter of endurance with all the upgrades.
she can ride a horse so well now, I'm so proud of her and hope she doesn't contract diabetes and/or death from all that candy with the wrappers still on
A lovely headless horseman and a funny game. Nice job! Just a little hard to eat candy.
Sweet game! at first the difficulty caught me a bit off balance, but I didn't lose my head over it and ended up having a good ride.
