My Horse Is Amazing

A runner with one control and a surprising amount of nuance in it. Tapping makes the horse jump; holding and releasing controls how far. Fences, pits and water need different heights, and the game gives you enough warning to choose but not enough to dawdle.

Power-ups collected mid-run raise attack and health, and the horse itself gets stronger and faster the further you go. That escalation is deliberate — the later stretches of a level are only passable on a mount you have already fed with pickups.

Each level ends in a boss fight, which is unusual for a runner and gives the format a proper punctuation mark. Getting there is the run; surviving it is the test.

1. Tap for a short hop, hold and release for a long jump.
2. Match the jump height to the obstacle in front of you.
3. Collect power-ups to raise attack and health as you run.
4. Face the boss waiting at the end of the level.

Never take a power-up that costs you a landing. Trading a clean jump for a pickup is the classic runner mistake — the pickup makes the boss easier, but the missed landing means you never reach it.
