How does your game fit the theme?
Our game features horses stuck in a time loop where death and fatigue are only temporary, they go through the gameplay loop of improving/sabotaging horses and modifying the terrain, while racing in a track that goes in a loop!

Horze to the win! Fun concept. Upgrades add depth to the game, but on the other hand, when you upgrade your horse, it’s easier for them to win. So the game get’s easier and easier and as races go, you have almost certaint win. Maybe some progression to higher league could help with that, but that’s to much to ask for in a game jam game.
Yeah, we had a few ideas for that but we ended up not having the time for it, for now the game is more of a "candy bar" experience rather than a proper "meal".
This was hilarious. I love it
sooo cool, the concept is really funny!! nice game
yooo we got hrt at GMTK Game Jam
"we have hrt at home!"
the hrt at home:
i'm on wave 36 killing every horse every run half the track is lava the other half is ice, i have a problem please send help. Also the music is so slappin holy
Had to stop, my dear hotke didn't feel like moving to the finish line anymore :'o
Congratulations! you have beaten the developer high score of 35
very fun game! the horses going so many directions is a cool mechanic and the upgrades are also interesting. overall great game!
This was quite entertaining! Music was fun, and its a cool idea to have the upgrades interact the way they do. I wish the pathing wasn't *quite* so random, since even if you upgrade a horse two or three times with intelligence, they can still sometimes just... not xD The randomness needs to be there of course, but I think the degree to which it affects gameplay is a little much. Overall a fun experience!
Thank you for the good feedback!
This is such a silly yet fun game. Umamusume wants to be the zany craziness of horse racing in this game.
I had a lot of fun, I think the only thing that detracts from this game is that I didn't really care for the upgrades/downgrades as much as watching the tiny horses bounce randomly around the track which was a pleasure in itself. I rated this game really highly for creativity and enjoyment.
Thank you!
It would be really nice if you can drop by and checkout my team's entry for the jam here:

This is my kind of game, great job. I like the intense music and the horse's names.
Love it! Simple fun concept, well executed!
