Ok, very fun, took me 2 tries and... I technically didn't beat it. I used a Horse of Theseus strategy where I trained 3 very strong parts by swapping them between 2 horses. I also prioritized training learning early. So by day 19, I had the perfect horse with super high stats, plus the ability to teleport. I CLEARED the final race by a mile. No contest. But it only rewarded me $44 for first place !!!! So I didn't earn enough to feed mom for the last day (I ended with $360, I could have beaten a tier 1 or 2 race and won the game). It took me a really long time to get to that point, so I didn't want to do it all over to see the end screen :(
Despite the disappointment with the way my playthrough ended, this game was really fun. Kept me hooked the whole way through, really satisfying progression, and the time limit gives you strong motivation to beat the game. It's a shame there was no music or sound, but considering how much you packed in here it's understandable. Nice work!!!
