Cool concept. I got a bit lost with the controls, and the jumping felt quite challenging most of the time. Is there some double jump command? I almost got one horse :D

Funny interpretation of the Theme, the game is good maybe some kind of radar it could be good for the player
Funny game. Got 4 horses out of 5. It would not hurt to have some andmarks in order to understand where you are at all. Especially useful when almost all the horses are eaten.
I ate four horses and then got trolled with the pit on the bottom lol. Like some others have said, it could use a hud and some indicators for where the horses are. Fun game tho, love the concept and art.
As someone else said, it's an neat idea, combining a labyrinth with a platformer in a wide open space. I appreciated that a misstep wasn't certain death. You don't fall too fast, so paying attention to your surroundings gives you an opportunity neatly recover.
The main thing the game needs is feedback/guidance for the player. There are no sound effects for jumping or successfully eating a horse. Some indication of where to go, how many horses are left, and where I might be in the map would have been great. I also ran into an glitch where I sank into some of the platforms. I couldn't figure out why, and it would mess up my jumps.
Nice idea, but location is huge. Add signs that will show the location of the horses, and game be better. And yes, you could trolled me, and I had to restart the game)
Nice entry! Maybe some score would be could, like how much there's horses to catch, maybe a timer too?
Keep up the good work :)
Its not bad, but it didn't hook me. It took me forever to even find a horse, after countless falls. Controls are also really odd - having Y as the boost isn't intuitive. The platformer mechanics could do with some work too
I loved the concept of platforming mixed to labyrinth, but I am feeling like the player need some directions for reaching the horses. Good work btw!
It's an ok game but I feel like Shift + Space bar would have been a better boost and jump combo than W and Y.
Cool artwork!
Gameplay feels like platformer-labyrinth (interresting idea), but direction to goal is not clear.
Good entry and good luck!

Indicator showing how many horses are remaining would be a good addition. Nice job, cute artwork!
