\nWas not super crazy about the slow speed ramp on the horse. My suggestion would have been to let the speed ramp quickly, but then sell the momentum by damping the turn rate and slow down rate at high speed instead. So you get to the “action” quicker, but once you’re committed to a path, you can’t back out as easily and have to land shots to survive.

The horse has shop upgrades to improve its control, but that’s randomized so you might not always access it. I’ll try to improve that.

I was really trying to find a way to shoot back while moving forward, without resorting to add the mouse. I tend to prefer when all controls are within the keyboard.

I like the animation and overall look of your graphics (especially the sketchy style of the animation), and running around on the horse felt nice by itself. The archery felt satisfying as well! One thing I didn’t like is how sometimes enemies would appear directly in front of me while I was running, so I didn’t really have a chance to dodge or shoot them. Not sure if that was just a bug or something, but it happened quite a few times. And personally I think the collision area on the trees felt a bit big, so getting through the forest felt hard at times (though I do appreciate the bigger collision area on enemies, so it made it more likely a hit would land!). Overall though, well done!

\nThe issue with enemies appearing was something I wanted to fix, but I pretty much ran out of space.
\nI did get other feedbacks regarding the trees, so I’ll make sure to improve that.

I found that some players find the game repetitive if they don’t know to get to the next hut, by following the brown dot. Were you able to catch that?

\nBasically, the speed that you used to get in the initial version became a shop item that you need to acquire. It’s free, but in the first shop, you have to choose between speed and bow.
\nI’ll try to improve that initial experience, perhaps by making sure the horse is faster initially. But in the current version, those are upgrades you acquire as you go through levels.

I’m glad I can get you to keep coming back!\nThe game only changed twice though. If you don’t remember the coins (I assume you mean the shop prices), it’s because the first shop does not have prices. Both options are free.

\nIt felt really good to control the horse around the map. I like the arrow implementation which provides a limited ability to “aim” accurately with some practice.
\nIt took me some time to realize that the brown dot was leading to the next hut to buy upgrades. I think an arrow might be a better indicator.
\nA few nitpicks:
\nThe art style and animation are really cool, but it seemed to run at a fairly slow frame rate for me which detracted from that a little bit. Otherwise fun and straightforward shooter mechanics! Nice entry!
