Just came back to congratulate you guys, you made it into the video! I was sitting there eating my sandwich, and I heard him say the words "horse divorce" and I was like YOOO

YEAH WE'RE NOT OVER IT YET EITHER???? 
Thank you so much!! I'm really glad I got to interact with you folks through the jam, hope to see more neat work from you all soon :))

Likewise, it was really cool to meet you guys through the jam! You ever want to chat about game development or anything, I'd love to talk with you guys! 

I don't see any kind of DM type messages on itch, so if you want, discord is Crashtroid#1059!

Hahaha this game put a smile on my face! Fits the theme really really well and is just genuinely funny and a good game! The mechanics work great and the puzzle design felt good and achievable, but not simplistic which was a great balance to reach in 48 hours! Great job!!

Awesome game, love the art style and how consistent and polished the game feels. There was one stage where I had to push boxes away to get to a button, but it looked like there was a plant in the way. It wasn't obvious to me that the plant didn't have collision so it took a while to figure out. Other than that 10/10

Love it! The wacky concept, gentle level progression and especially the sound design - that background music's super chill and I love the sounds that get higher/lower as the horses stretch/retract. Everything's so polished! Seriously nice work!

Five stars across the board. It's unique, it's funny, and it plays really well. The only problem I can point at is the fact there there's a noticeable loading time between levels - on the web version, at least.

This is amazing both in visuals and in gameplay.

Haha I love it! Great concept and nice puzzling mechanics! At some point the screen was just black (hopefully I wasn't too impatient) and I assumed I finished the game. Nice job, I can definitely see more levels and mechanics happen with this, very cute and fun game with nice presentation! Good one!

Really sweet little game, Great work introducing controls per level to allow me to understand as i played.

Loved the concept and the music and animations are so fun!

Nice ! But for some reasons, you can still move when you complete a level...

Submitted(+2)

Nice game feel where (horse head bob when you move). Very cool how they elongate nicely! Everything is pretty good! Maybe add a hat to the horse or highlight the controlling head in some way when you switch between the 2 heads (to let the player know which head he is controlling)

A beautifully quirky puzzle game, it fits the theme so well, and It actually made me feel clever with some of the solutions. Great show!

Really cute game, great visuals and some nice puzzles. Controls were a little fiddly for me and I found if you spam the arrow keys during the kisses you get exploded with hearts :)

Developer(+2)
