Wow cannot believe I would love horses smooching so much! Really nice music as well and the level design pacing was top notch. Really cool concept and had a lot of fun!! Great job! Can't believe it had so many levels.

Love the absurd concept, the level design is great, and I'm also impressed by how much content this has.

Good job y'all :)

Oh wow this is so cute!!! I love this idea. I would love to see extension of this where there is a set distance each horse can extend to! I love what you have made here and I hope to see this in the video!!!

This game has amazing artwork. Reminded me Untitled Goose Game. Also puzzle design is very good.

I liked it! Great fun! The sound effects and design of the world were fun and getting the horses to smooch, therefore healing their relationship, was pretty wholesome. However, I felt like I never felt like I solved the puzzles like intended. It seemed to me like I was brute forcing my solution, rather than thinking laterally and coming up with something interesting. That is mostly splitting hairs (splitting mares?...nope...) however. Good job!

Awesome game! Great twist on the theme!

I rarely play games until the end, but this one I was bummed when I got to the end.

Love the little jingle-music when the horses smoosh.

Lovely submission.

Really fun game! Congrats

Great game! Love the art and music. Needs more physics based objects like the beachballs :D

Also, loading time between levels was rather long, and after the fifth level or so, it didnt load the next one.

Very nice. Great job with a clever take on the theme.

After the second level it hangs on the black screen with the music playing and you can still move the horses. Love the concept though! And it looks and sounds great.

This is hilarious in concept and really adorable! The visuals are simplistic and really polished, the sound design is really cool (accordion sounds pitching up and down was a fantastic choice) and the gameplay is of a simple puzzle style I haven't seen before!

Top notch entry your team put out, super impressed!!

Excellent work, loved the presentation - sound design was great! Having the little physics objects to kick around was good fun. Definitely the most engaging sokoban I've played!

Submitted(+3)

Loved the balloons too!

I did not realise that I required horse based sokoban in my life, well done!

Chef's kiss!
