Hobby Horse

Some people chase dreams. I gallop after them with a stick horse

Hobby Horse is a cheerful and unconventional sports game that turns hobby horsing into an arcade-style competition built around running, jumping, improving skills, and creating increasingly elaborate obstacle courses. Developed by Games Incubator and published by Games Incubator and PlayWay S.A., the game embraces the unusual nature of its subject instead of trying to present itself as a realistic equestrian simulator. Its colorful presentation and accessible mechanics make it immediately understandable, while progression, customization, and creative tools provide additional reasons to continue playing beyond the initial novelty. The main gameplay revolves around taking a hobby horse through courses filled with hurdles and other obstacles. Timing jumps correctly and maintaining an efficient pace become important when trying to complete challenges successfully. Courses appear across different settings, including indoor sporting environments and outdoor areas, helping provide some visual variety as players progress. There is also a city environment connecting different destinations and activities. Although the basic mechanics are intentionally simple, improving at movement and learn…

This is the goofiest racing game I've seen or played and if you think you'd enjoy it, you probably will (even though the controls are a bit difficult to get right away especially if you don't play racing games that often).

By the end, I wasn't riding the hobby horse—the hobby horse was riding my emotions.. (Disclosure: I discovered this gem via Keymailer and was offered a chance to review it.)

Hobby Horse is a casual racing game where you create your own hobby horse and rider, then compete through obstacle courses built around running, jumping, boosts, and improving your skills. Between races you can customize your horse, character, and room while working toward new trophies and unlocks. Pros ✔️ Live your horse girl fantasy without the cleanup! - You get the horse, the competitions, and the trophies without ever having to clean a stable. ✔️ Customize your horse and rider!!! - There are options for your horse's colours, shape, and accessories along with outfits for your rider, so you can actually make the pair feel like yours. ✔️ Surprisingly good racing gameplay - Underneath the silly concept is a pretty solid racer with drifting, jumping, boosts, and courses that actually take some skill to get good at. Cons ❌ It caused some motion sickness - Quite a few viewers who do not normally struggle with motion sickness mentioned feeling it while watching, which feels worth warning people about. ❌ It really needs co-op - Racing hobby horses already feels like something I should be able to do with friends, so being limited to single-player feels like a missed opportunity. ❌ Cus…
