Erratic Equine Extraction by hwaet

``` Your name is Henry the Horse You live in a stable, of course You want to be free To explore the country So you're fleeing without remorse
Use arrows keys to move about (Controllers work too, no doubt) Yet it's no easy trip- The grass makes you slip Be cunning, you'll find a way out
The farmer will keep redesigning These pens that are used for confining Keep trying, my friend Escape into the end There you'll find your dream, ever shining ```
For extra challenge enable Wobbly Mode in the main menu!
We plan to make an Android build controlled via gyroscope but that will probably be after the deadline.

Even with the control frustrations, I quite enjoyed my time with this silly little game
It was interesting the first time a new mechanic was introduced (horse controls in level one, hay, goat, cow) but the other levels in the beginning were quite similar. The later levels with the cow were a lot more fun in my opinion. The loading time between levels felt quite long.
I think this mechanics would fit better in discrete motion, you could make really interesting puzzles out of it.
Gyro-version sounds cool, but less goal-oriented.
But it is only my opinion.
Good work, keep up!
The cow is a little buggy, when you move it out of the stable, the screen gets super zoomed out and you can go places with her.
I appreciate, that you crafted a lot of levels, something that gets often neglected in game jams. The music was also well done.
The un-stable pun is really a work of art.
nice entry!
Oh, the eye movement of the horse was quite cool as well
