It was an interesting process to work out how the game worked, and your comment about arrow key movement affecting gravity illuminated what I thought to be a really novel mechanic. I thought the progression of levels was also quite good, too--the difficulty pacing was appropriate, aside from perhaps a few too many find-your-ass-esque easy levels at the very start. I found the horse movement to be a bit tough to control at times (that horse really retains momentum, and don't even get me started on Wobbly Mode), and there were times when it was perhaps a bit more trivial than intended to bypass the goats.
