I see we weren't the only ones who thought about escaping equines. I like you take on the interpretation. The writing is great and the bucking mechanic is a unique twist for an attack.

I like that you make instability the goal rather than the challenge. Nice twist on the theme and the game was fun to play.

Your game was very cute and technically did fit the theme of un-stabled XD. Bucking was a fun way to attack, and the writing was humorous. I had fun playing your game :).

The control layout is odd, but I did get used to it eventually. You get bonus points for the pun; unSTABLE ha :laughing:

Hey, another stable pun person! I love the horse's dialogue - he has definitely gotten up and chosen violence today.

Fun game, I like the idea of using the backwards kick as the main attack.

Well now, that's a horse of a different color!

Yeah, not bad! Not what I expected, but well executed. Having the sugar cubes reset when entering the tractor stage was kind of a problem, because there was just no way to get past the second fence.
