"Fun, nice game... but..."

(Beware some mild spoilers)

I liked the style, the cutesie graphics and some of it was rather clever. However if you just click enough you're likely to find out what you have to do pretty easily. Perhaps in the next game have it so you have to click on things in more of a time conscieuse way. Clicking 1 thing and then another for the action to work.

The boss fight was wow, understated, the first think I clicked on killed him. Now I think you meant to do it on purpose as a joke, and it was pretty funny. But it may have been better if you drew attention to the fact it is a joke... maybe the charachter should spawn a little speech bubble with ... over his head when it happens.

To have got higher marks from me, I'd need more of a challenge, but it is a very appealing game in looks and gameplay. Nice way to use 20 minutes.

"Rather suprising!"

You get a lot of things with the same kind of feel that just create the 'WTF' reaction and then are over. Whereas with this you get the 'WTF' with a competent game behind it. In some areas its actually challenging... I found the punching man, hammerfist and the first mouse quite hard. There were some funny characters and because it had a plot (albeit a nonsensical one) I played it all the way through.

Good Job. I'm impressed.

"I say nay"

You really need to cap the debt... allowing the player to borrow as much as they want means they can bet stupid amounts at the start of the game... unlock all the prizes without even racing... with giving the player essentially an infinite amount of money you really give them house advantage... with careful doubling up on a two horse match you can essentially make as much money as you want through maths.

To me this spoils the fun of the game.

I found the gambling controls kinda irritating to use... would have prefferred an odds based system, perhaps.

I quite liked the graphics... no complaints there... overall could be a good game if you sorted out the money system (which is essential to a game like this) and perhaps included more stuff to buy, the possibility of sponsoring a horse (and making more money on it when it wins) giving the horses personality (which would work well in an odds system e.g. have the steady horse that often wins but with bad odds, the tempermental horse that sometimes does amazingly well sometimes awfully, the old horse that almost always loses but has great odds).
