(okay, sure, here's a not-cheeky description)

You are a horsey on a rampage.

LEFT-CLICK to jump in L-shapes onto (or over!) enemies and explosive barrels. Collect points and chain attacks to build a huge score before you burn out in a blaze of glory!

When you've jumped 3 times (or take too long), your horsey desire to BASH grows too strong and you charge forward uncontrollably in a random (but predetermined) direction.

After your turn, any ignited barrels explode, then enemies near you take a turn. Then you're up again!

There's some glitchiness in the embedded build frame-wise. It runs MUCH better as an executable. I think it's a Godot export thing? Dunno - sorry!

Super fun game! I was curious how the gameplay will end up after seeing your twitter posts

I'm glad you enjoyed! ðŸ˜„ I barely had a chance to playtest for enjoyability, so I was really hoping it'd all come together at the end!

Very well made and very silly game. The whole dash mechanic with the jump is so sick, and I love how the horsey has movement like a knight in chess. The enemies are fun to combat (except the chikkens, my god I hate those things), and the exploding barrels bring some chaos to the game (there is no killing chaos in this game). The music for this game is very good too! It feels very silly and is just right for this game (love the detail where the drums sound like galloping noises). Overall, very good jam entry! It's nice to see some new stuff like this from Jake. Good luck on the voting, man!

This is the best game, end of discussion. It was super fun to watch get made and still feels super fresh and original no matter how long you play it. It takes a little while to get used to the controls but then it makes alot of sense and is huge fun.
