I played this on my livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srBde18ASdY

I got really hung up on the "Dressage" Stat. I come from an equestrian background and I've never heard it used in that context... I understand it means "Training" in French... but it's more like, the action verb "Training", not a kind of indication of skill... I'm getting hung up on it again...

I think the game needs an easier way of earning money, the starting horses are just awful and didn't seem to breed with the good one I got. Some more info on how I can earn money and improve their stats would be helpful. Maybe "Boarding" horses to gain money?

It's really hard to win this game, but i have enjoy this atmosphere. Really cool intro, also :)

@occultone We intended to add more explanations in the interface but didn't have the time. Since they are micro organisms they multiply by themselves and inherit the stats from the original. The no name thing is just something I forgot to fix. :) Thank you for playing!

Haha! xD That intro, LOL! I played around with the game a bit and i must say i'm pleasantly surprised! It combines a bit of tower defense with micro-management aspects aswell as economics and a neat growth curve.

Keep up the good work! Cause even though the pony theme might seem a bit silly on the outside this definitely has some potential.
