Loved the idea and it ended up being quite addictive.

Also, this game was immensely charming and really fun. I especially love how the horses explode into a neat pile of bones and guts - good job! :D

p.s. i think this might be the only game I've ever given 5 stars for 'theme' - unstable unstabled horses in an unstable stable? Brilliant.

Hey. This looks familiar for some reason x). Fun game! =)

stanroy 2021-10-04 23:29

Ok, so I launched the game without reading the description and I didn't really expect the horses to blow up lol Cool game tho

mmhathaar 2021-10-05 00:43

So funny! Congrats

binroot 2021-10-05 00:55

hahaha, I *love* the horse! I want a toy version of that.

Now this is how you play with the pun. Good job.

Hilarious take on the theme! The last level was a struggle for me, but the puzzles were all well designed and fun. Only thing missing for me is a silly background tune to set the mood. Great work!

wbertrand 2021-10-06 02:37

Amazing game, the visuals and audio were great. Loved the hanging lamps, really nice touch for seeing the stable being tilted!

minibobbo 2021-10-06 02:52

I liked the joke and your over the top use of the theme. The graphics worked well and the exploding horses were a nice touch. I am unclear about how simply brushing up against another horse causes both to violently explode, but flinging a horse across the stable into a wall does nothing, but I'm willing to overlook that :)

I feel like this would have benefited from background music or something. I liked the different puzzle elements. Puzzle games are hard to pull off well but these seemed well balanced.

Oh god, when I bumped two horses against eachother! 😱

adrian-guevara 2021-10-06 06:32

Stop with the horses games hahaha

wang-tianliang 2021-10-06 07:08

so strange but so fun

rein 2021-10-06 07:19

@minibobbo there are some questions mankind is just not equipped to answer yet. ;P I tried to find music that would match the feel of being perched high on a lone mountaintop tilting a building around with explosive horses in it, but nothing felt right. In the end I think the quiet groans and creaks of the building as you tilt it and the smacking of horses into walls as they're whipped around served the atmosphere better.

Good and very funny game. I enjoyed it a lot :)

erkerkiii 2021-10-06 14:32

Couldn't play on web browser :(

r3dleg 2021-10-06 14:46

Loved it! Genius Briilliant NICE. The only thing: maybe there could be an indicator why i got only 1 star (maybe a timer or something). Sick game. That is a realy solid and super funny entry. I could easily see this as an app release if you integrate tilting with your mobile as a way of controling it. Well done!

ascension 2021-10-06 14:57

5 stars for Humor, I enjoyed it a lot.

ausstein 2021-10-06 15:03

I managed to do all 20 Levels. Half the intended way, the other half with some janky physics. I love it :)

euix 2021-10-06 16:21

@r3dleg you only got one star because there is only one star! great job! thank you for the kind review.

aderpychickenstudios 2021-10-06 17:56

Really fun and interesting game I could definitely see this with more levels being a full mobile game I know I would play it. Sometimes I did find that the physics were a little janky like the rotation of the house would go one way but the horses would seem to go the opposite of gravity. Besides that little thing I thought the game was excellent and super creative. I also loved how there was 3 levels to the theme overall amazing job!

heiach 2021-10-07 00:54

Goblin dumb. Puzzles hard. Horses keep sploding. I had a kot of fun though!

mateu 2021-10-07 01:51

I loved this game. It had a super unique mechanic, and it made for some really nice puzzles. It fits the theme of "Unstable" extremely well. My biggest praise though, is that it didn't feel like a game jam game. If I didn't know better, I would genuinely think it was an actual game, like something on the app store. If you do want to make this a full game, I would work on the controls. Sometimes, they felt a bit too janky. (I know, it's supposed to feel a little weird, but sometimes it was just too much). It made it so that I could see the solution of the puzzle, but I just couldn't execute it. So that could be frustrating for the player. One last thing before I conclude would have to do with the UI. It doesn't really feel like it fits the game. For now it's not a big deal, but again, if you want to work on it some more that's something I would work on.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this game and like I said, I wouldn't know if this was a game jam game or not. So great job.

This is a really well made game, the sound effects fit the game really well and I had a giggle at the background.

kiwi663 2021-10-07 15:08

Really good game. I liked it :) Wonderful graphics and mood.

remn 2021-10-07 15:19

Its funny!

loreign 2021-10-07 18:06

This game made me giggle, the gameplay is so fun! Sometimes it is really hard to not let the horses collide.

victoriaogino 2021-10-07 21:14

What a delightfully fun puzzler! I loved it!! Level 8 took me a while to get past, but I'm supper impressed my all the new mechanics you introduced throughout the level. The sound effects was fun, and the horse exploding animation was a bit gross, but also fun. I think the only thing missing for me was some silly background music, but otherwise and top notch game! Great job :D

robert-li 2021-10-08 05:32

I had so much fun! The rule that makes two horses explode when they collide is the most challenging part of the game! I love it!

adiwan 2021-10-08 11:30

From all the games I played so far it is the best of the bunch. A pun-tastic spin on the LocoRoco game concept. I like the puzzle challenge that comes with the horses' explosive nature.

jpgfg 2021-10-08 14:15

Lol this is a fun and crazy game, score high for sure on humor, I had a blast fooling around with it. Thanks for submitting and I need to go calm down after the death of the horses.

shrillwhip 2021-10-08 19:10

This looks great and controls really well. Solid concept and execution!

awesomealliterationalliance 2021-10-08 19:58

Really impressive puzzle mechanic that fits the theme in a clever way. Extra Points for the number of times you used the word "stable" in your game. The number of levels is amazing, especially if you consider the difficulty curve you managed to design with them. Stable entry :D

kodepo 2021-10-09 08:37

Really nice puzzle game with awesome graphics. Good work!

patsui 2021-10-09 08:43

Funny with a great twist on the theme. Solid mechanics and good graphics, one of the top games imo! Only UI tweaks could make this better. Excellent job!

michelangelo 2021-10-09 11:09

You had a lot of interesting ideas implemented in few days, and they are fun to play! I had a hard time to understand the game physics, and was a bit frustrating, but after level 8 the game become really pleasant. Be sure to make first levels truly enjoyable and make them test your mechanics on a safe environment where they can't lose. Cool idea, it work well on mobile, keep working on it!

etrealjunior 2021-10-09 18:07

Congratulations for the great game, everything was well balanced thematic, art and humor, my suggestion for future pos jam would be to make the entire cartoon art, which in my opinion would make it prettier, and with a cartoon face, if you can give it your own. feedback also on my game I will be very grateful, a big hug.

ryjcio 2021-10-10 17:44

Such a great, small game! Pls release it on mobile platform so I can kil my time on the bus :D

trusty 2021-10-10 18:39

Great game. Had a lot of fun with this one.

cheeks 2021-10-10 18:47

This game is awesome. I loved the explosion graphics and the sounds, and the puzzles were creative.
