Game feedback requested

CLOSED! Thanks for the feedback, the game is now back under paid access!

I am currently working on an roleplay exploration game involving riding and raising horses. You purchase horses from a shop, quests lead you into different areas of the map, and you have some stats to incentivise taking care of your horse, and the ones at your ranch.

The game is targeted toward a young audience and is made to work well for social interaction, exploring areas with friends, and viewing each other’s horses. Furthermore, you can race at the horse track to see who has the best horse.

I’m still working on this, adding stuff like permanent stats (things that always stay such as levels and xp) but would like some feedback on what has been made so far.

Normally I have this game in paid access for 249 robux (obviously free for now) and has had around ~150 purchases but not the best average playtime so I am currently debating whether it has to do with not having many people in the game, as it’s still in development, or if there’s that needs to be done to improve it? Feel free to spark some ideas my way.

Some of the main things I’m interested in knowing about, but of course feel free to mention anything else:

  • How does the gameplay feel, is it smooth?
  • Any frame drops, if so what device are you using?
  • Anything that feels confusing? Do you now know how to find x or do x?
  • Is there a clear goal in mind while you’re playing? Is it hard to understand what to do? I have several game loops but the main one is: Ride Horses > Explore Areas > Care for Horses > Upgrade Horses > Repeat.

If you’re not comfortable replying there’s also a feedback option to the top right of your screen when you play the game.

Cheers!

Hey I actually own a horse myself and would love to check the game out, but don’t have the robux for that so if it becomes free please let me know and I will check it out!

It is free, I was clarifying the sales of the game as I’ve just made it free access whereas it is usually paid :slight_smile:

When jumping, the horse runs in the jumping position for a short time after the jump.
I wouldn’t buy it, I have no robux and wouldn’t spend it on the game yet

So much has happened since September so I’m bumping this again to get some more feedback. I’ve put the game into free access for the week, and I average 200-500 players CCU. My only issue is the avg play time dipped from 12-14 mins to 8-9, want to get some feedback on the general onboarding for new users :grinning:

I’ve added better horses, trading, wild horses, breeding (next update), grooming stalls at your ranches, a tutorial that gets you into the main gameplay loop of wild horse capturing, ranch and horse customising, and a custom training area.
