WTF did I just play. I like that y'all put effort into the details like measuring the height of horse related things with "hands". Nice job.

You are crazy and I love it.

This is a hilarious game! I love the chaotic nature of it. The sound effects are probably my favorite part by far. The sounds the horses make just seal the deal.

SFX 10/10

As far as the gameplay goes, I kinda had no idea how to beat the level, but that's okay, because it was really funny.

I was cracking up while playing this, and my favorite detail is that the unit of measurement is the horse-appropriate "hands."

While I had trouble figuring out how to 'win' once I got past the first level, I think it could be argued that I won just by playing a game where I stack 3D horses while the mountains change texture in the background. Congrats, this must have been really fun to make and it shows!

WTH was that? Why am I playing it? Why it's intresting?

Haha I love this game, how do you even come up with such ideas lol

mechanizedit 2021-10-04 17:25

Ohoho sooo cool game!! Great graphic and mood! I really have fun to play this game! Thank you))

big-play-ben 2021-10-05 05:18

@nathant ahaha yeah I think I messed up the meters to hands conversion

ache-games 2021-10-05 05:19

Well done. I had fun playing this one.

yuko 2021-10-05 10:31

A nice interpretation of the theme. I must say I didn't think I would make an unstable horses' tower today. Thanks for this opportunity! It was fun!

moandor 2021-10-05 11:57

This is terrifying...

codeer 2021-10-05 14:03

Very cool game and also a bit strange

gus-goucher 2021-10-05 15:52

Haven't even played it yet but props for the tom7 fonts! I thought I was the only one!!

DARK SOULS on LSD, love it! you have all my stars!

helenangel 2021-10-06 02:57

This game is absolutely hilarious & had me laughing the entire time. Excellent work! :)

big-play-ben 2021-10-06 03:50

@helenangel Thanks. Your game Remote Work has been my favorite so far.

This equestrian nightmare was a blast to play. I think I've killed enough horses for one day though.

honey-pony 2021-10-07 02:33

This game is a lot of fun. I like how it gestures at a couple of different kinds of ideas: the startup noise is very arcade-y, the music and environment seem like a monster truck rally or something, and the horse noises are cartoony. The mashup off all these aesthetics is pretty compelling; it is absurd but it is not overbearingly so. The aesthetics are unusual but they do work well together. For example, even though the only direct aesthetic resemblance it bears to an arcade game is the little jingle, the game overall does work as a fine arcade game.

hawkin 2021-10-07 03:04

This is quite the acid bath haha. The zoom-in on horse death was so funny. And all the sound effects just added to the craziness. And the music going from sunday-morning cartoon to techno house, I just don't know what XD

Thanks for the fun little game.

lychee 2021-10-07 20:06

Well that certainly was a horse pile game! Funny game idea, I definitely felt like it captured the theme "unstable" xD

minibobbo 2021-10-08 18:57

Ummm... what?

That was absurd, in a good way. Was there any other strategy other than just mashing the mouse button?

I also didn't rate you in graphics because I wasn't sure what was others works and what was yours. Maybe make that more clear in the description?

kinart 2021-10-09 00:52

I'm fully in love with this fever dream of a game.

yerkwell 2021-10-10 17:00

OMG, absolutely crazy :DDDDD

Looks like something from 2000s, the best epoch of Internet that we've lost :cry:

sleepystudios 2021-10-17 12:05

Not totally sure what I just played but it better win the graphics category because I'm not sure anything else can compete with it. I agree with the comment above, it's straight out of early 2000s aesthetic hell and I absolutely loved it.

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-20 16:45

You guys done a amazing work on this game and importantly that horse dropping sound!!! Terrifying game!!!!
