A blackjack inspired real-time horse racing game. Your horse's speed and direction are determined by the cards you play.
Each phase you are dealt four cards. Select two cards to play, from either your hand or your retained cards. Then choose which cards to discard, which can be all of them, but you can keep one dealt card and add it to your retained cards, to play in a later phase.
The higher your cards score the faster your horse runs. You gain a speed bonus for hitting 10 points exactly! (ten is even faster than eleven). Some of the cards have little arrows, which move your horse sideways. Try not to get crowded out.
Time spent drawing a slightly dumpy horse: 5 hours
There are a few things that I had finished then removed from the game, for playability sake, like different colour jockey kits, a few other cards, some menu items. I might add them back in after LD.
I hope you enjoy the game!
UPDATE [APR 23] - I realised I hadn't setup the view for mobile, so fixed this and re-deployed. Then noticed some bugs with mobile, no sound in Chrome + very occasional issue with a button jamming. I might try fix those things when I've rated some games.
UPDATE [APR 26] - I fixed the sound issues and game crashing in Chrome. If any Phaser devs out there interested, the issue/fix is here.
