Movement feels a little slow but otherwise it makes fun

Very funny idea! The physics feel a bit wonky, but with some sound effects and some variation to the levels (like having the pens change location and size) it could be a pretty fun time!

This made me laugh once I actually figured out how to play. Really fun little game you got here. Nice work!

Looks fun, but the controls are awkward.

un-stable huh lol, silly but quite fun, I was trying to run out of the map to see if there's any easter eggs but couldn't because of the camera angle lol

I can't stop laughing! Totally historically accurate [un]stable simulation!

So bizarre, I love it. The gallop animation is majestic and then the horse just ragdolls. Perfect.

It is really challenging me.

Thanks so much, it's my first game really. So happy people found it at all fun.

Beautiful! Really fun, and once I figured out you can hold space to jump higher it became a lot easier ;)

Simple graphics but they get the job done, some fun horse-sounds when the squash each other would be fun I think, but then again, it is a jam and you can only get so much done in 72 hours.

After some levels (4 in each stable) it got quite repetative and getting the horses in felt more and more like a chore. Maybe ramping up the difficulty faster would make this better :thinking:

Very well done!

Once I understood the movement system, it was actually fun to try and chuck those horses in their stables. 5* for the theme.

It got repetitive quickly, but damn if chucking those horses wasn't hilarious! Surprising game.

I enjoyed humor in this game. Also nice interpretation of the theme.

Great concept! Fun to play. I think I found one of your cheat codes too haha

A bit difficult but so much fun!

@whimsicalwang I would like to know what that is, I didn't add any so it might be a bug :)

Silly game! Not much depth there but it certainly fits the theme xD

Only watched it played, but I feel like I got the gist pretty much.

God tier, game of the year.

This is the pinnacle of gaming as a form of existence. I'm going to write a book about this game.

Oh my, there are so many wrong ways horses can fall in their stables, I HAD NO IDEA :laughing:

Very nice idea and theme interpretation!

I missed audio, though. Neigh, snort sounds would contribute greatly to mood.

Very funny. Watching the horses flip over the walls and trying to land them in the stalls was fun. I was half frustrated with the controls (the repeat clicking was difficult, unless I was misunderstanding how to do it) but I wasn't sure if the difficult controls were part of it, like QWOP or something like that.
