Bulldozer could have a bit more acceleration since when i go reverse and then forward again its extremely slow. But i suppose then difficulty would be too easy since now reversing/bumping is exactly when the farmers catch you with dynamite, other than that its ok.

I honestly like the ps1 aesthetic. I find it real funny that the farmer is throwing dynamite at the bulldozer. Overall it's a simple and fun game to play. The audio is a bit loud though.

A weird, but also a really funny little game.

I really liked this game. It's really fun just to destroy stuff and escape from the bombs. It would help if there was more visual aid to the bombs. Even just a grey sphere that expanded to the range of the explosions. Also, I did find a bug when I tried to get revenge on the Baron. I ran at the Baron with the scoop down, then tried to lift the scoop and the Baron. But that pushed me down and outside of bounds so when I stopped playing I was falling infinitely. I love the graphics and the music. Well done!

Its a good prototype. I know its hard to make a 3d game and yours even has destruction and vehicle physics. Wish the acceleration and gravity were a bit higher, you can really make the game more fun by just making it more snappy. The stretched textures don't look very good on level boundries and the horses run through them which looks kinda strange, maybe you could have make one huge fence around the level that horses jump over, I dunno, something like that. Music is -very- loud, I'm on 1% volume and its still loud. So, overall, there is potential for a fun game here ^^

Definitely a game about "un-stabling". Getting stuck sometimes was frustratin, but the farmer was probably also frustrated both about me scaring the horses and getting stuck himself. Turn speed felt a bit weird, but good job anyway!

I like this game, but the bulldozer is a little bit too slow, and it going a little bit nuts when you destroy a stable made it so every time I do that it was a bit of a coin toss to where I was going to go. Cool music and sound effects!

Poor horseys, I got to run them over pretty a lot :) Plus after I hit the farmer, my buldozer flipped around like a crazey horsey. A plus for gamepad controls. Another plus for a horsey game :D

At first I hated the slow acceleration but after learning to play it makes going fast a lot more satisfying :D (well maybe a tiny bit of acceleration wouldn't hurt). I had a bit of audio crackling on the web build but that's sometimes hard to avoid. Nice music and solid graphics as well!
