    I cant imagine playing Angry Birds while tilting my ipad left and right. Just not for me.

    I hope youll consider adding control options without tilt, especially with the amount of reactions you're getting regarding tilt+tap and drag.

    Forbidden Forest. It reminds me of that one.

    Totally agree with you, tilt gameplay isn't for me either, unless it's a racing game, but even tho, I would still choose the alternative way

    I'm probably alone in this but tilts controls don't really bother me in a game like this .the graphics look beautifull do I am going to give this a try for only 69p (99)


    Edit played through the first level and I have not been disappointed .everything about this game just makes me smile I know it's an outside choice but GOTW for me do far at least.

    I bought it but can't play it until I get home tonight from work. I'll let you know whether or not you're crazy around that time ;)

    Thanks for going on about it! Sold! This game is amazing! I love the shadow of the Colossus vibe. Beautiful pixelated graphics. Strange to hear all of my Fellow gamers complaining about the difficulty of tilt controls they haven't even tried out yet. You're a gamerÂ… Stop complaining about difficulty and overcome the challenge. LOL Any control scheme can be done right if the developer gives the right attention to detail. This one IS done right!

    I have played this game through about 10 levels and I completely love it! Tilting and aiming at the same time is challenging but not impossible to master. I think it portrays the difficulty of aiming on horseback very well. It should be difficult. But over the course of needing to be better during the more difficult challenges you'll find that you achieve a level of mastery that at first he would not have believed possible. Great job developer! This is the type of gaming experience that iOS needs more of!

    Similar to my thoughts as well. Nice little game. Controls are intuitive and work well. I found the side-scrolling portions more enjoyable than the top-down though. Think the game would actually have done better to stick with the single perspective and build on it.

    I like the looks of this one! Will check it out, but probably won't get a chance to play it for awhile, I'm so backed up with so many new games right now.

    Very interested in it, is it an endless game or is there a story with an end ?

    This is what makes the App Store an interesting place. Lovely game, feels like a breath of fresh air. Actually think the tilt controls work well and creates more of a feeling of riding a horse.

    The simplicity to the graphics just add to the overall feel... great use of pixels with some nice little touches.

    Gabrien already mentioned it but the game does have a little Ico/Shadow of the Colossus vibe running through it. Great stuff!

    Yes, I think there's an almost zen-like mastery of the controls to be achieved that, like you say, must be close to what it's like to actually ride a horse and shoot (and it seems like this going for a zen-like mastery of skills is intentional on the developer's part) This game is brilliant in its combination of elements and beautiful in its pixelly portrayal of its world.
