Really good concept! I guess this is a way to practice your finger tapping

Nice very original mechanic and use of limitation.

It's really fun! And with my very loud keyboard, the game really produces the clapping sound :D I kind of dig the slightly cursed look!The only thing that could have been improved: it would have been even cooler if there was no mouse needed for the menu, just WASD or ASDF :) But overall really fun!

What a fun concept!

Its a very good use of the limitation. I kinda like it how you did the puppet animation.

This might be the coolest use of limitation I've seen so far, nice job on the concept.

Wonderfully intuitive game idea. Even if I mute my game my keyboard still makes the hoof sounds

The mechanic of this is quite brilliant, I was drumming my fingers like a horse when I was first brainstorming for this jam, I love that someone actually turned something like that into a game. Really nice work, this is one of my favourites from the submissions.

YOO this my favourite game this jam for some reason. The Idea for the game you wrote into the description is so cool and you delivered on that idea as well. And the game looks wild bro. That forced Pause after completing the full Leg rotation throws me off a bit, but I guess its important for making the noise correctly.  At first I though: "thats not how a horse runns" but after pressing the buttons correctly it acutally looked ok haha. Very cool.
