full of fun

OML this is fantastic and hilarious lol. The physics, the little horse models, the way the legs are spinning around. It's amazing. Also, a few additions (Powerups, different maps, etc) I think it would make an awesome multiplayer game haha.

oh man this game made me laugh looking at those horse legs. i think most the time i ended up running my self out of the ring and losing. this game could use maybe some kind of aoe push on cooldown. like i found my self next to the ledge with the horse almost going off and i was turned the other way. and by the time i got turned around it was too late. though it was a fun to play game, nice job.

Nice! Short and simple, but interesting. You should add 2 player game option.

Nice one. The crashes are hillarious and I enjoyed luring my enemy into running down the playing field :D Also, nice music!

the only thing this game is missing is a multiplayer

firtn 2021-10-04 13:20

A horse sumo wrestling game... Brilliant!

An excellent idea for a jam game: simple, in theme, effective and hilarious! Great execution too. I particularly enjoyed the programmer art with the spinning horse legs and the audience clapping once a horse goes down. Cheers!

Haha those poor horses. The enemy opponent was surprisingly good at this game. I really enjoyed it, it's fun, simple and funny. Who doesn't love ragdolls? I really like the music too, it was kind of Aphex Twin like.

First I didn't understand but after I learned the controls it was pretty hilarious overall it was very fun and nice game !

Game where you play as a horse... okay, I have to play this one, don't I? Even if it's bad it'll be good.

And it's not even bad. You know, I hated this theme when it was announced, but I'm seeing loads of great interpretations of it, and this is one of them. This game totally embodies the theme. Also, I love how the horses' legs just spin round. Great little detail.

The two-button controls (that's been a past theme, right?) totally work and are a good way to keep it nice 'n simple.

Oh, wait, horses, unSTABLE, I just got it XD

Excellent game, very well done :slight_smile:

I had a lot of fun with this one. It's incredibly funny to watch the blocky horses wave their legs.

Innovative controls. I like that it's difficult, but not frustrating.

Sure, the graphics could be improved (although this blocky style has its qualities as well), but the gameplay more than makes up for it.

This game needs a coop mode!

Yes!! I won! What a fun game.

This is hilarious. The constant rotation of the low poly horse legs is endlessly entertaining. Either the AI is really good or I am terrible, I was only able to take one life off of them in two games. Props on the theming with both the horses and unstable character control. The music and announcer add to the weird vibe in the best way.

Nice and simple, the horse animations are very charming!

Only polish suggestion I have for you is the UI :) well done!

minidavid 2021-10-04 19:09

very very charming. Horse hit each other with hilarious attacks

fersyvanderzee 2021-10-04 20:08

Haha, lekker man. Super droge shit. Vet geluid ook. Ik hoor zeker die invloeden van je album terug.

kalevrk 2021-10-04 21:25

My favorite entry that I've played so far! There's just the right amount of randomness introduced with the turning of the horses to make it a lot of fun to try and knock the other horse off. The presentation, art style, and music all work really well, and I like the ability to adjust the background music. Awesome game!

Amazingly fun in every aspect! Gameplay, audio and graphics work together for a tiny but entertaining experience. Very well done! :D

Funny game, it has a lot of strategy even though it uses only 2 buttons.

lex 2021-10-05 17:53

That would be a great multiplayer game, haha.

echo-gameworks 2021-10-09 21:45

Quirky and funny. Great job!
