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.

Dog Break!Amazing visual! Amazing gameplay! It's unbelievable that you all created polished game in such short amount of time!

The (looping) Trolley ProblemThis 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....

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

Bugged to deathThe 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

Burning CycleA 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!

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

Born YesterdayEvery part of this game has been tuned for maximum goofiness and I'm all in! The horse stacking, the exploding collision sound, the fact that the player is just another horse with a cowboy hat, and tthe way the horses just get tossed aside like ragdolls when scoring them then get back up to run away. I had a smile on my face the whole time xD
I've seen a fair amount of games about drawing loops but this is easily the best, comedic genius!!

Moovin' Milkin'What a silly game, I love it!
The concept is pretty simple, but it works well with the obstacles and the different horses going around. The visuals are very polished, I really like the dithering effect on the sun! Nice soundtrack and sound effects to make it all fit together, as well.
My high score is 23 at the moment, I'll try to get more horses next time!

Hi HoneyThis game is amazing - really polished & fun! Love the horse explosions :)

L.O.O.P.E.DVery polished game! I like that some sprites are pixelated (like the sun and dust), it creates a vibe.
Downbelow I'm just nitpicking)
In the tutorial I felt like I needed to jump when saw "Avoid the obstacle..." which was unavoidable and then I felt weird that there could be a jump option that I missed.
Also it would be better if horses wouldn't be able to pass trough obstacles and would avoid them, but it's might be hard to implement in time constraints of game jam, so no issues here, it's jusn as an idea if there are plans for future development.

pulse threadOh, thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I deliberately made the wall of obstacles so players would get familiar with what happens when they run into an obstacle (sound cue + losing a horse), but I can see how it’s frustrating as a player. I’ll have to think about how to handle that, maybe just a rewording of the text would be enough.
The Akira slide was amazing (+the explosion at the end because I got 0 the first time lol) Loved this game so much!! I greatly enjoyed being a horse
