Overall an interesting concept. I like the wordplay you did with "Unstable" so I gotta give it points for that. The game was a little short and confusing at first, but I eventually figured it out. The camera is a little weird and makes it hard to predict where I am landing, but otherwise, Not a bad game at all. Keep making games, I believe in you!

I enjoyed your walking animations, particularly for the player. Did you use a special program to create it? Or did you just freestyle it with a paint program?

This game did a good job of keeping it simple. You laid out the level so that certain paths were blocked, requiring the player to figure out the best way to get each horse to the exit. While I'm sure it could be expanded/improved, you succeeded in making a full game. Well done!

@thepelranthean I used Microsoft Paint 3d. I wish I could have added more levels but time constraints with life happens more often than not, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!

I had an idea to use horses for the un"stable" theme... it's good to see someone actually go with it :)

Nice and simple game. But movement felt too slow and I think the collision boxes are too big, I had a few tries before I was able to make the horse go down 'cos he's always taking the food lol. Also, before the horse got down he was floating in the air because his tail is still on the platform.

@alina-baybulatova During my last participation in LD (LD47), I saw someone just copying and pasting the same comment over and over in different entries. Can't believe I'm seeing it again. I saw the same comment from you on another entry.

@alina-baybulatova Okay. But I'm not saying you're the same person who I saw during LD47.

It took me so long to figure out how to do it. It was a bit embarrassing really, I didn't understand why the apples kept disappearing and I decided I needed to ride them out. But I like the game, the audio is simple, but works and the design is really nice.

I like the animation a lot. The scale felt a little big, though. Like the world was too big for the character and the character could jump too high. But nice work overall!

I think to improve this game increase the gravity so it feels less floaty, also I might reduce the hitbox for the horses to help them faster and eat apples from a closer distance. My fav part of this game was the visuals, they were very charming. Nice solo entry.

Hey, cool design. I saved all the horses and for a moment I felt like them, and I guess that was the point.
At the beginning I thought it would be easy, but the last horses can only be saved from the right, which was surprising. Capitalism is bad and so is the artificial jungle:unicorn:

the character moves a bit slow, but while I was walking I realized the journey was more important than the destination.
this broke rules i didn't even know were there. absolutely inspired use of paint 3D. hell yea

I mean full marks for theme here. I would have loved more horse centric games this jam but you’re the first one I’ve seen. Fun game!
