First I was wondering wth is wrong with the controls - until I fully realized that my character is sitting on a horse. And these beasts can have their own will, that's for sure! In that sense, you did pretty accurate with these :-D
I think the art assets look really good - it's too dark to fully appriciate them, but by what I can see, they are well made.
The music wasn't of my taste, so I was happy about the mute option you built into the game.
