what a game, I mean, genius idea. But quite hard actually! It could probably use another additional way than turning to compensate for the imbalance (mash a button or something like that)

Fantastic concept and execution. Balancing while turning does feel impossible but I had fun failing

Thank you for allowing to play no matter how many fails I did. Because I did them a lot :о)

I have had a good time playing it, very funny haha, also visually it is very cool. And the idea is super original.

great graphics, but keeping those pizzas on your back is hard! being able to lean the handsom pizza boy would be a great addition!

Haha a silly concept, but very fun! Definitely a bit too hard to play, though, in that turning is very unforgiving. Sound and graphics were great for a short turnaround!

OMG I love the pizza shop logo it is HILARIOUS. it's also a very visually appealing game :smile: (we'll not talk about how much I sucked at the game)

The controls are really hard to make sense of (hence the theme I guess). The graphics in this game are really popping though!

I had a good laugh playing this game! It was quite a challenge balancing all those pizzas but I prevailed (after many falls!)
Well done on completing your game!

Good game. Although it's hard to keep balence, I find the tips is rhythm of "A" and "D" keys. And when I successfully get one score, the position of pizza will reset. I love this design!

The graphics are really good, even the start menu makes you really excited to try the game.

Awesome take on the unstable theme. Beautiful game, smooth and round, unique idea, vivid visuals, beautiful menu, easy to understand, hard to master. PIZZA!

Played it for half an hour straight.

Great Work Guys.

Very cool! I like the visuals and the concept is great, but I do feel like I was little TOO at the mercy of the pizza boxes in later levels, to the point where sometimes my only choice was to run around in a circle and not deliver it anywhere. But I still had a lovely time!

This is kind of how it feels to back up a truck with a trailer - you need to go in the opposite direction a bit first. I loved that the music lined up with the galloping! Double points for the "unstable" theme on this one.

Favorite game of the jam so far!!! It's pizza horse, what can you say. So awesome, I loved developing strategies, like turning into the goal to reset my pizza stack/

Very nice game fit the jam's unstable theme! Both of us make a pizza game haha! Physics is great but I think still a little bit hard to keep balance and move towards the target same time. Hope I can control the horse body tilt to keep pizza balance. Good job!

Perfectly fits the unstable theme. Really hard if you're trying to avoid falls. I think I spent more time steering into a wall trying to avoid falling than it would have taken to fall and keep going.

I absolutely adore horses so maybe I was a bit biased :)
Love the low poly art style especially all the cute little people waving there hands and of course I absolutely love the horse!
Gameplay wise I would've loved to see more nuance, ways to re-orient yourself eg slow down or use physics objects around you like buildings to push the pizzas back in place since it seems like you can't really turn whatsoever without dropping them so unless there is some amount of planning expected I can't see how this is really skill based or possible without fails. Also we are not given an overview of the map either so planning is not possible either way without having played before/knowing pizza placements.
Either way super cute game I loved it!

Haha, what a silly entry. Bonus points for multiple interpretations of 'unstable.' I love that I was randomly deciding that some people don't get their pizzas, haha. Great work!

Very cook and fune game /fun funny pony)!

The visuals were amazing and it's a lot of silly fun (the wacko physics certainly didn't hurt) - controls gave me a bit of difficulty, but I feel that's part of the aesthetic to the game (why would delivering stacks of pizzas as a pony be easy, after all?)
Chairshot Games16 Oct 2021, 04:39
What a game! Super fun and needs a lot of strategy. I love the art and music. The game does a good job of teaching you as you go. Lots of great little details (the pizza falling out of the box, ect) that make for a great vibe. Only thing I would recommend is a horse falling-down animation. Great job!

Well, I played... But you know, some additional control is missing... Otherwise, at high levels, you still have to make mistakes to deliver all the pizzas. This will confuse those same perfectionists, heh). The game is, in principle, fun, but it feels very unfinished and unintuitive. But since there were only two of you, it's still cool!

Hello, fellow pun-stable jammer! I love that you went for both serious and pun-intentional meanings of the theme, and the game ended up being super fun on its own - a nice spin on the crazy taxi genre and with some added strategy given by the pizzas getting reset at each checkpoint. Awesome, awesome stuff!

Everybody want to have a handsome delivery horse, cause why not!

Finished all levels without a single fail~

Yeah sure, I saw yesterday a horse on the street deliver a pizza. What a crazy idea! This is really out of the box. Good job!

Great use of the theme, and +1 for the inclusion of horses. Had a good laugh. Well done!
