  • Highly addictive and offers a surprisingly deep and complex genetic breeding system that allows creation of bizarre and unique horse abominations.
  • Great blend of humor, creativity, and management mechanics with a lot of freedom to play in many different ways including gambling, racing, and genetic manipulation.
  • Excellent replay value due to the open-ended sandbox nature, with many side quests, exploration, and emergent gameplay moments that encourage experimentation.
  • Lacks a proper tutorial or clear guidance, which can make initial understanding difficult and may require external guides for the genetic system.
  • Technical issues including occasional crashes, glitches, and performance problems especially related to gene editing/biohacker and large numbers of horses.
  • Some players find the game becomes repetitive or too easy after main objectives are completed, with limited endgame content and lack of multiple save slots or better inventory management features.
  • humor

    The game’s humor is widely praised for its goofy, bizarre, and often absurd nature, blending silly horse physics, unexpected breeding results, and quirky artistic choices into an entertaining and laugh-inducing experience. Players find the humor integral to the game’s charm, making even its chaotic and unpredictable elements amusing rather than frustrating. Overall, the humor enhances the addictive gameplay loop by encouraging experimentation and creative play with hilarious outcomes.

    • “Beneath the intentionally silly humor lies a genuinely compelling gameplay loop that rewards experimentation and creativity in ways that make the game difficult to put down once its mechanics fully open up.”
    • “The breeding mechanic is hilarious on its own but once you start combining different types of animals... that's where it gets wild.”
    • “The 2D physics based horse racing is hilarious to watch, fun to bet on, and it feels like there are so many ways to improve and exploit the movement tech.”
    • “The horses are comically bad at simple running to the point of it being more annoying than providing a skill curve. There's a 50% chance your horse can't run in a straight line without falling over, which is not a fun experience.”
    • “I looked at the stats of 4 different horses and picked the one with the best numbers, but it immediately fell and became immobile. It's not funny, it's just annoying. Don't give horses stats if they don't mean anything.”
    • “After an hour of catching different horses, breeding, and exploring the maps, my horses didn't get any faster. The game lacks the depth people talk about, and the process of getting to that point wasn't fun or engaging.”

    The gameplay of this game is deceptively deep and highly addictive, centered around breeding, genetics, and racing mechanics that offer extensive experimentation and strategic freedom. Despite simple and goofy visuals, the mechanics provide a rewarding progression system with surprising complexity and replayability, appealing to players who enjoy uncovering layered systems at their own pace. While some find certain elements repetitive or poorly explained, the overall gameplay loop is engaging and fun, balancing chaos with strategic depth.

    • “This game is hella stupid and looks worse but under the hood are surprisingly deep mechanics and all the silliness makes it such a good game overall.”
    • “Beneath the intentionally silly humor lies a genuinely compelling gameplay loop that rewards experimentation and creativity in ways that make the game difficult to put down once its mechanics fully open up.”
    • “The mechanics are decent, but the progression is extremely short.”
    • “The goals are piss easy and don't actually require you to engage with the mechanics of the game (I basically beat everything before even touching gene stuff), the quality of life is abysmal especially trying to fish out horses from your trailer and stable, the systems are poorly explained if they are explained at all.”
    • “I appreciate the charming-but-weird aesthetic, and it's a shame the core breeding/genetic modification mechanic is almost entirely redundant - it seems like a lot of work went into it, but its utility was massively undermined by the fact that I ended up using a bunch of clones of the first "horse" I bred because it was pretty much untouchable in races, and even after a lot of experimentation I never came up with anything else even remotely competitive and the novelty of watching an abomination fall over wears off pretty quickly.”
    • “Also, the digging mechanic gets old pretty quickly, so I didn't enjoy that part.”
  • graphics

    69 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are characterized by a unique, quirky, and simple art style that some describe as charmingly janky or reminiscent of retro MS Paint visuals, which complements its comedic and absurd nature. While not aiming for realism or high fidelity, the graphics enhance the game's personality and appeal, proving that impressive visuals aren't necessary for deep and engaging gameplay. However, some players find the style rough or even visually uncomfortable, but overall, the graphics add to the game's distinctive charm rather than detract from the experience.

    • “The graphics in this game are phenomenal, from the popping colors to the shapes; it's probably one of the best looking games ever created.”
    • “Genuinely I thought this game would be trash because of the graphics but actually it really just makes the game better and more charming.”
    • “After a couple hours you realize this game is extremely detailed, disguised in msdos-level graphics that add to its charm.”
    • “The graphics of this game genuinely hurt my eyes when I play it.”
    • “Whenever I try to open the game, instead of the smooth graphics you expect, it has lines all across the screen like it's an old box TV.”
    • “The music is fine, the graphics are probably the worst you could possibly make them while still having a unique style, and it doesn't even matter, because you buy a game to play it.”
  • story

    The story is quirky, humorous, and filled with unique quests centered around breeding and evolving horses, offering an engaging and emotional narrative for some players. However, many find the main storyline short and relatively shallow, expressing a desire for more depth, additional missions, and improved quest clarity. Despite this, the game's strong gameplay and side content often compensate for its story limitations, providing good replay value.

    • “I thought it would just be campy fun to race dumb looking horses, but every time I drive around the map I find new missions and puzzles to try out.”
    • “The story is incredible, the abilities you have as a player to pretty much do whatever the heck you want are incredible, and the graphics look better than RDR2.”
    • “Amazing story that kept me getting back on to save my dear family member (I think) from the horse flu.”
    • “I'd also like to see more to the storyline; the game is rather short.”
    • “Only thing I can think to do is a better storyline.”
    • “The game has phenomenal potential, but there needs to be more of a draw to the missions and a reason to stay engaged.”
  • music

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for being catchy, immersive, and stylistically fitting, significantly enhancing the overall experience despite simple graphics and mechanics. Many players find the soundtrack memorable and enjoyable enough to want to listen to it outside the game.

    • “I constantly yearn for this type of music and it really makes sure this game feels immersive.”
    • “Stylistically wonderful and has one of the most fitting soundtracks I've seen for a game in this style.”
    • “Somehow every musical track is a banger and I guarantee you'll be singing along.”
    • “The music is fine, the graphics are probably the worst you could possibly make them while still having a unique style, and it doesn't even matter, because you buy a game to play it.”
    • “The music, though repetitive, never got old.”
    • “Ps: please let us label floppies / DNA vials and release the soundtrack!”
  • replayability

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The game offers strong replayability with numerous ways to approach its systems and progression, providing many hours of engaging content. While some users find it highly replayable and recommend it for repeated playthroughs, a few feel the replay value is limited and may not justify the price for everyone. Overall, it is praised for creativity and variety, especially given its affordable cost.

    • “This freedom gives the game strong replay value because there are countless ways to approach its systems and progression mechanics.”
    • “Such an amazingly well done game with many hours of content and replayability.”
    • “For 10 dollars there are so many options and so much replayability.”
    • “It's replayable, sure, but not enough to replay it 100 times for most people.”
    • “The sad part for me is that there's not much replayability. Ten bucks feels pretty steep for this game; I feel it's really like a 5-6 dollar game at most.”
    • “Add more horse types, since there is probably an infinite possibility for making even more deranged species of animals and options for their movement, so the game could be even more bizarre and replayable.”
  • grinding

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game is highly praised for its deep and rewarding grinding mechanics, appealing strongly to fans of grind-heavy gameplay with unique secrets and experimentation. However, some aspects, like grinding champion races for resources, are considered tedious and time-consuming. Overall, it offers a rich grinding experience with creative exploration beyond just number upgrades.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Extremely amazing game, however, grinding champion races for infinite fences and infinite gun is terrible.”
    • “I keep grinding up the clones because nothing matters more than the original boot-wearing honey that is the original.”
  • optimization

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game offers deep genetic optimization mechanics that allow players to enhance and customize creatures for peak performance. However, despite its impressive graphical efficiency, some users experience significant performance issues and lag after extended play sessions. Overall, optimization is a core and rewarding gameplay element, though balancing progression and system stability could be improved.

    • “Individual genes can be edited, copied/pasted, bred into or out of a gene pool, and optimized.”
    • “Graphically this game is a master class in performance.”
    • “I bred a centipede, rabbit, and a human and then optimized it. I won with that; it's a perfect game.”
    • “But unfortunately I'm having huge performance issues. After playing the game for a bit, it starts lagging my entire PC, causing me to have to restart my system.”
    • “My neighbor "optimized" my horse by turning it into a green rectangle with three heads.”
    • “You may not like their grotesque shape, but that horse is what peak performance looks like; that thing carried me to credits roll like it was nothing.”
  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including crashes, freezes, and visual glitches, particularly in certain areas and scenarios. While these bugs hinder the experience, ongoing efforts to improve stability are noted by users.

    • “When I open the game and let it run a bit, the screen goes black and the game shuts down. This happens every single time when I go to the suburban home with a specific DNA; it freezes and crashes. Sometimes it also happens randomly while driving the truck. I thought this game was good by watching caseoh, but I'm completely disappointed by how abysmal it is.”
    • “Like the game but I am having some pretty bad visual glitches in the open world.”
    • “Runs perfectly fine then all of a sudden just glitches out and I can’t even do anything.”

    The game delivers a deeply emotional experience, particularly for horse lovers, evoking strong attachments and intense moments. Despite some frustrations with quality-of-life and unclear mechanics, players appreciate the realistic and impactful storytelling that keeps them engaged on an emotional level.

    • “One of the most realistic and critically acclaimed games of the universe, this horse game is an accurate, real-life inspired open world game where you are thrust headfirst into a life of horse gambling to save your family. This intense, emotional rollercoaster of a product is no joke and is absolutely worth your money if you love real-life horses.”
    • “I cried.”
    • “Was fun, got emotionally attached to the horses.”
