Really wacky and fun runner game, love how goofy the horse is, that and the absurd glitchy environments really give this game a unique charm and atmosphere.

Fantastic job on this!

Developer

Thanks! The atmosphere and general vibe of the game was something I spent a lot of time working on, so I'm glad you found it unique and fun!

Submitted

Easily my favourite game in the jam so far!

The absurd visuals and music, and the satisfying death animation... it's perfect!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed, and honored to be your favorite in the jam (so far)! Thanks for playing and rating!

Submitted

I like silly game!

Developer

I also like silly game! :D

This is the best game I've ever played

Developer

You must not play very many games :D

Submitted

Incredible art piece. The animations and movements are very smooth and give a sense of speed. Hitting the wall feels really painful tho lmao

Developer(+1)

My goal was to make it as painful to watch as possible whenever you hit a wall, so I'm happy I succeeded. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

I love the effect of this scene! It looks awesome! Seriously, this death animation is amazing!

Developer

Thank you so much! That death animation is my magnum oppus, so I'm happy you enjoyed!

lol, I love this hahaha great job on the overall style of the game and itch page it all works together really well :D 

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks! I was trying to channel some of that "random early 2000s game that you found on the dark web" sort of energy with this one, so I'm happy that style may or may not have come through to you!

Thanks for checking out the game!

Submitted

Oh you nailed it :D I could see some kinda neat ARG or some type of weird hidden thing being in the game that sorta plays with your expectations of the reality of the game :)

Submitted

Absolutely bonkers.

Loved it.

Developer(+1)

Absolutely bonkers was my intention, so it's good that it came through!

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Loved this one! The animations were so absurd and silly, especially the double jump and death, really well done.

It got really hard when you picked up a lot of speed, so it took me 10 attempts or so to beat.

The SFX and music also helped to lean in to the silly and absurdist vibe, really well done!

Developer(+1)

I whittled away on the animations and sound effects for quite a while, so I'm glad that you enjoyed them! 

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

You could tell! Really felt like they were made with love and care ^^ 

Submitted

i keep running my horse into walls lol this was fun!

Developer(+1)

That death animation is the Magnum Opus of my career. Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

Absolutely love the thumbnail and the overall aesthetic, especially the way the music ties it all together. Great game! Would jump again

Developer

Thanks for checking out the game! The thumbnail and visual style of the game was something I worked quite hard on, so I'm happy people seem to be enjoying it!

Submitted

horsey go, horsey win, horsey happy

Developer

All true statements. Thanks for playing!

This game will haunt me in my dreams. 11/10. I didn't think this game could get any more horrifying and then I accidentally figured out I could double jump. Love it. Was actually quite challenging but I eventually managed to win.

Despite everything...

Developer(+1)

That goofy double jump pretty much carries the entire game lol. I'm glad you were able to win while still finding it challenging, since the difficulty was one of my main concerns when developing the game. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is PEAK! 11/10

Developer

Glad you thought so! Thanks for giving it a go!

Submitted

Incredible game. The thumbnail of the evil and intimidating horse hooked me. Congrats on the submission and release!

Developer

I'm glad you liked my thumbnail, as i spent an embarassing ammount of time trying to draw that horse.. Thanks for playing and rating!

Submitted

10/10 game, the double jump killed me hahaha. Fun, Good loop, and the graphics are amazing! Really well put together, congrats on the Release!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

The only disappointment I felt after playing this game is that I've never quite seen real horses do flips like that. This was hilariously entertaining and it's honestly amazing what you managed to 'Frankenstein' together! Had a grin on my face throughout and the...mild gore is a nice touch. So well done!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you had a good time with this one! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

It made me reconsider my life choices. 10/10 funny game

Developer

lol I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
