here it is! the one & only (?) horse generator!

created during pigsquad's summer slow jam. the theme was character creator.

i ran out of time for some of the ideas i wanted to implement, but i still had LOTS of fun making the character creator, and adding two simple tracks to try your creations on. hope you have a bit of fun with it! :)

known issues

apparently there's something that prevents the itch.io version of the game to pull an http request to grab a pic from thathorsedoesnotexist.com. i might try and add a client version to see if that works. but other you can just visit that website in your browser and get inspired for your horse. :P

Did have quite some fun although i wasn't able to find out how to beat the second track, maybe it isn't possible on the current build but i almost did it with enduranc 13 speed 12 and bonking all obstacles but not pressing f while recovering

Managed to beat it!!!
Turns out stamina is only checked while running so you can finish the race by jumping and never pass out despite having 0 stamina

good find, hehe. yeah, i sadly didn't manage to finish implementing the whole stat system, and so there are so possible little hacks like this one. thanks for playing it and for your feedback!

Yeah, it's a really simple game but it was really charming. I'm sure you learned quite and put on plenty effort and hope you continue to grow as a dev.
