Super buggy, but fun. My first game, I somehow made a bunch of horses love me without ever finding a charmr target or scoring any points.

It was worth it.\r\rAm I right in thinking the classic Snake game was an influence here? I thought it was neat that my tail ended up being an obstacle at one point, when it kept deflecting me upward mid-coil because I'd slithered around everywhere willy-nilly.\r\rI liked how you used the simple control scheme, though I swiped left on a lot of horses accidentally when steering around things; part of the challenge, but it could have gotten frustrating over time.\r\rThe design on the dancing horses was really adorable; I loved the graphical style, the proportions, the animation, how round everything was, etc. The profile pictures were hilarious too; the obscenely buff horse giving me a lilting "Yoo-hoo" may very well have made my day.\r\rThis was weird and cute, and a lot of fun. Great work, folks!"},{"author_name":"Hot Box Games","author_uid":"39707","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 10:42pm","epoch":1450391820,"text":"This made me lol :')\rReally like the models of the horses and the dating app was genius.\rGooooooooood job!"},{"author_name":"Coomzy","author_uid":"45176","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 10:58pm","epoch":1450392780,"text":"Great game!"},{"author_name":"Clavus","author_uid":"18043","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 11:05pm","epoch":1450393200,"text":"Haha, certainly one of the more interesting submissions!

I had been getting similar problems running a few other LD games on my computer, so I figured the problem might be on my end instead of yours. Then, one LD entry suggested a solution which solved my problems with all the games that had failed to run, including this one: disabling Avast (particularly the File System Shield).\r\rAnyway, this game is hilarious (as is to be expected coming from Young Horses). I like the twist on the Snake formula- particularly the fact that the danger of growing too long is no longer the possibility of crashing into yourself, but rather making it more difficult to get more points due to being wrapped around too many horse-dates.\r\rI did notice a few interface issues- for instance, the first time I got a date that happened to be on the second floor, it took me a while to figure out where they were, as there's no way to look up (or any indicator of where the next date is if they're offscreen). Also, I could not find any indicator of a time limit, so I was kinda caught off-guard when the game ended.\r\rStill, those are minor issues, it's a lot of fun. Good work!"},{"author_name":"Molpe","author_uid":"67097","time":"Jan 4, 2016 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1451943960,"text":"The game is awesome! Great idea!
