Progress on this silly horse game idea that I'm having some clearer ideas on.

Biggest headaches
* animating moves
* figuring out which moves to equip and how
* audio - do I do horse gallops...is there a horse sfx pack somewhere?
* environment - have an idea but idk if I'll love it.

also, I should have said "animating kicks" -- "punch" esque moves aren't too bad to animation...

You can get free sound effects at Sound-Bible-dot-com - if not, try just ripping samples off YouTube

I didn’t know I needed this until now. How does it feel to pioneer the horse flip?

Oh my God is this gonna be a game where a horse fights its rider cuz that's genius

Sort of.

Originally influenced by the basketball game Horse, you essentially are in a race with another player. Each "jockey" encountered has a challenge like *do a combo that does X dmg or Y # of hits*

Tentative title of HAFO (Horse Around, Find Out)
