I've debated on whether or not to straight call that out for the game jam though. In a 'normal' game, I'd leave that as a discoverable strategy, but maybe calling it out in the game description is better for a jam, allowing quick plays to have that tiny bit more strategy. After all, I can't expect jam players to play more than a few minutes which may not be enough time to see an enemy get slowed by a stable naturally.\n\nLove your avatar btw :) HxH <3","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld49\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/cfhm.itch.io\/unfinished-horse-nonsense","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"79076","g_author":"1237618","g_event":"LD49","g_eventkey":"119","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"379522","g_title":"Incomplete Horse Nonsense","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"1435","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"262056","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"262056","n_urlkey":"379522","n_parent":"258323","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/49\/pending-horse-game","n_slug":"pending-horse-game","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"237618","n_created":"1632748967","n_modified":"1779320330","n_version":"839219","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD49","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":2,"author":237618,"body":"![Screenshot 2021-10-04 210824.png](\/\/\/raw\/230\/a3\/z\/46b4d.png)\n\nLife on the Infinity Ranch was nice.
