Oh man, this is certainly not my kind of game, hahahahha, I just get way too stressed.

That does not mean it's bad though! Not at all! For one, i love the art. It's just the perfectly bizarre thing that something like this needs. I wish i could have seen more custom art, more platforms and things like that!

I seriously LOVE how the horse is dynamically animated, how its whole skeleton moves with the balancing and the legs move with the unicycle. Seriously, stuff like that is delicious to see.

But yeah, not for me, hehe. It's a bit weird to advance, specially when you get to a bunch of mini pillars that you have to go over, and yeah, the fun is exactly that, but it's just too frustrating, haha

Overall, pretty good! Wish could have seen more art, backgrounds and platforms!

This is a very good happy wheels esque game. I especially liked how after a bit of gameplay the tie into the theme becomes more obvious with a little thought.

This was very enjoyable to play. I can't imagine that you weren't inspired by Happy Wheels, but if you haven't seen it then do take a look. 
The controls felt right, very loose but responsive enough to feel intentional.

I love and hate this thanks

Given your username, I'd imagine the rectangular platforms cause a deep inner conflict for you. I understand, and I am here for you. (EDIT: IAS me too lmao)

Nice drugs guys, can you share some :d. Joke aside, the keep feels very satisfying, especially when i do 7 front flips in a row. Overall is a good nice, i have enjoyed the experience.

whoever made this game also created an aneurysm in my brain on rocky road; otherwise 5/5

It's the apex of the art form

Why does the damned thing have a stiffy

Although at first I had to think about how this connects to the theme but I came around eventually!
Never once in my life thought that playing a "Trials Unicycle" game would be so hard, yet so entertaining.
It's hard to gauge how much of it is design and how much is the execution but you struck a nearly perfect balance of physics simulation and controllability. It's a bit "floaty" but that's what allows the player to get back from dire situations where the mane is almost touching the ground, yet you can still stand up :D I always had agency over my failures, never felt it was the physics' fault. Also my first backflip was a double on accident but landing it felt crazy good!
One thing with the level design is there were some wild slopes that seemed impossible to climb because of the lack of traction. Not sure if I'm not good at the game yet or they were really that hard.
All around great game, had a great time and the art/music was great too!

There is no game!!

Check your Javascript settings. We've changed from Itch.io's size auto-detection to 1080p (with a fullscreen button for other monitor types) so that might have fixed your problem.

Ok, it works now.  The inspiration is clear :)  I'm too bad at this type of games though

It's ok. I struggle to get three stars on some of the later levels, and I made it!
