A few days ago, I saw a post on Reddit that inspired me to create a new local multiplayer game for me and my friends. After some late-night coding sessions, I’m excited to share Horse Race: a chaotic, fast-paced game perfect for game nights (or even solo play).

How it works:

Each horse is assigned to a specific button: the button you press to join the race. Your button is your key to controlling your horse throughout the race:

Attacking Opponents: to attack an opponent, simply press your button when you're in front of them.

Changing Direction: to adjust your horse's direction, press and release your button.

I’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts. Any feedback or suggestions are more than welcome. Let me know what you’d like to see added or improved.

Have fun!

Seems like it's going to be limited by the particular keyboard used and how many simultaneous key down events it can handle. Most keyboards and/or keyboard drivers have a limit to the number of keys that can be reported to the PC as being held down at once.

Probably won't be a problem for six players, but it does put a soft upper bound on number of players.
