Giant Horse Feeding

I originally left some positive review because the core gameplay seemed fine at first, but I am changing this to a negative review. I reported several bugs a while ago in discussion and never got a single response from the developer. So I delete that and move them here on this review. It makes perfect sense now, considering the developer is currently on a challenge called Shipping 24 Games in 24 Months. Pumping out a new release every 30 days explains why this comes out feeling so unfinished and poorly made. Another issue is that this is tagged as an idler, which is misleading. You do get to buy foragers to collect resources for you, but you cannot leave the game unattended. If you step away to let it idle, wolves will come by and steal your foragers. It defeats the purpose of the genre. There are several bugs with character behavior and pathing that ruin the flow. One of the hunters gets permanently stuck in place, while two others will just wander off and get completely lost. Even if you restart the software, it does not resolve the issue, and they stay bugged when you reload your save. There is also a frustrating interaction with the wolves that feels broken. When a wolf stea…

Idle & Incremental Lovers recommends Giant Horse Feeding: [i] Another incremental hit by Jestercraft! A silly and creative idea, simple and enjoyable gameplay, great visuals and creature design, respect for the player's time, that's the recipe for success! <3 [/i] + I'm becoming a big fan of Jestercraft's short incremental games. They're all creative, cozy and have a pretty distinct personality. One thing Jestercraft is very good at, is designing cute and unique creatures (like the "horses" and the little helpers in this one). + Finally, a game about poop that isn't gross and/or a cashgrab. + Absurd, funny, deliciously silly and cute! + I like that you have automation, but also can "click to poop" and hunt sheep, wolves and domestic pigs. Idle and active gameplay are both enjoyable and rewarding. Good balance! - Last upgrade (which has the absolutely great name of "complete the game") is a bit long to obtain. While you don't really have to idle during the rest of the game, this last one feels like an unnecessary wait. - The save feature doesn't work for me. Each time I load a save, I have a flashing loading screen with an awful sound. But it looks like I'm the only one to encount…

"FIXED 07/03/26: Very rarely loading a previous game save ends to a "Loading Game..." being repeatedly flashing on the screen." This was supposedly "FIXED" but the same bug prevented me from being able to play the game. It seems like a fun poop based game. However it is currently unplayable due to the bug I experienced.

If you want to lend a hand, you can follow my curator page here: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28368700-Annoying-Accent-Reviews/ It’s very rare for this project to release games that disappoint me, and ever since the dev jumped on the bandwagon of incremental, semi-idle games, it’s found its niche. Of course, by releasing a game every month, we miss out on beta testing, or even quality assurance, but the biggest problem here is really with this game is the imbalance in timing between the end of progression and the end of the game – the point at which we have nothing left to do and are left simply repeating actions until it ends, which is exhaustingly tedious. Progression is well-balanced up to that point, both in terms of the skill tree and the in-game progression, even though the game itself offers very little in the way of creativity, and the developer has spoilt us with far better ideas. In terms of recommendations, there are a few things to consider, because we mustn’t forget that the game is part of a collection, and there’s a group of fans who follow this odyssey. For those who are part of that group, this game is a must-play, but if you’re just looking for an id…
