i always wanted to drift with a horse hahahahaha the music, controls, effects and animation, all of this feels pretty good!

This was very short but a fun bullet hell. Good animations, and the controls are just floaty enough to make it feel more chaotic without being too frustrating (for me anyway). My only nitpick is that it wasn’t immediately obvious how to escape after eating all the apples. I had noticed the path in the corner early on, but tried to go through without eating all the apples and there wasn’t any feedback, so I thought it was just part of the scenery. It took me a minute to realize that it would let me go through after eating everything.

Side note, you might want to mark the link as web/HTML5 so people who aren’t on Windows realize they can play it.

The music was fun and I really the movement controls it felt very horse like.

Nice submission. I couldn't figure out how to escape after eating all of the apples either and wandered aimlessly around the pen until eventually dying. Because of the wording of collecting enough energy I kept thinking that I would be able to break through the fence when I had all of the apples, but I couldn't. Although smashing through the fence with lots of debris flying around would have been very fitting for the game. Nevertheless, a solid submission with nice animations and music.

Very short but very sweet game! The blood and death animation is pretty graphic, which adds to the unsettling nature of a bunch of bullets shooting in a farm. I was able to get the apple easily quite a few times, would have been neat if they changed positions or moved a bit. I did notice some bullets were spinning here and there. I also saw a standing unicorn over by the exit!

I liked how the music changed when you pick up the first apple, made it tense! Hopefully this war torn horse finds a peaceful pasture.

Very good work!

Heh, PTSD horse. Pretty cool, albeit short, game. Good job! ^^

The energy in this game is really great. At first I was annoyed that the shots were so hard to dodge, but then when I learned the patterns of the guns, that felt like the 'real' game (not just dodging). Fun music/sfx, no idea why the army is so desperate to kill this horse, but I love it.

I love the backstory :D nice game and I was wondering if there will be people who'll pull out a play on words with the theme. Well done

The war is over, horse! It's over! Snap out of it!

Very cute game, great aesthetic and well packaged. Nice job!

Looks good, plays smooth and straightforward. I really wanted to talk to the ghost?? horses: ghost horses, what is your deal?? Couldn't figure out what to do after eating all the apples, but stumbled on the path in the top right corner by accident. Well done!

Nice game and a really fun idea! I would have liked to have it a bit more zoomed out so it would be a bit easier to dodge the bullets but overall a really good entry!

Sin título.png I win! Nice game! I really love it, simple and polished and I personally prefer games that have a win condition.
