Horse Hotel - care for horses 4+

Fun, but the animation could use some work.

Dear Tivola Team,

I enjoy playing this game, and I especially like how you don’t have to wait real time for anything, all you have to do is pass a night in-game.

The thing that bothers me, however, is that the animation is choppy. The horses move in a jerky, twitchy manner that is not at all like a real horse. The tack that is on the horses moves with it, and it looks very funky. I also think that the animation of the rider during vaulting is kind of weird.

I also think that you could make it so that you don’t have to buy as much. When I played it on the Kindle Fire, I didn’t need to buy anything. It came with all the breeds. When I graduated to an iPad, I suddenly saw all of the horse colors in the store for actual money. Just disappointed about that.

Another thing is something that has already been said many times by other reviews, but I think that you might want to change some of your treats. Why would you feed a horse bread?
Just saying, that might set a bad example to young people and/or people not experienced with horses. What if someone started feeding their horse bread in real life?

I do enjoy playing the game, I just think it needs some work. The animation, realism, and availability of certain in-game things should be focused on, in my, and many others’ opinions.

Thanks,
Feather

Cute game for kids but doesn’t make sense!

Firstly, this game is good for kids. My little sister is entertained by it and that makes me happy. But as an equestrian, I noticed a few odd things. I am a western rider, and the first thing that I noticed was when my little sister was doing “dressage”, the horse had a Western saddle and an English bridle on! And also, dressage isn’t a Western event! Bowing is not a dressage move either! Same goes with show jumping. The horse also made movements a horse can’t make. Like prolonged rearing while seeming to hover backwards!! Seriously tivola?? And also, some of the treats in the game are bad for horses in real life! And to top it all off, the game makes you use a body brush on the horse’s face when you groom it. Brushing a horse’s face with a hard bristle brush can damage it! Im disappointed that tivola uses hardly any equestrian knowledge in their game. I was hoping that the game would teach my sister about caring for horses and REAL horse facts. I was wrong! Don’t download for educational purposes!

Good but doesn’t make sense

One when you Feed the horse the cereal bar they feed it with the package on doesn’t make sense. Second when you touch your horse it doesn’t do stuff it just makes it scared when you touch it a lot but padding is fine. Second of all you shouldn’t have a dog around because the dog might fly in the horses depends how much they’ve been around dogs. Second they are running around the paddock all by yourself do you need to be able to lead him them and unicorns are kind of not a horse people think it’s a horse with a horn but it’s not and unicorns aren’t real why do you make somebody think unicorns are real. You also do not feed a horse a whole apple apple seasoning that can make your stomach hurt but it is a good game for kids who don’t know about the horses but makes me judgments
