[h2]Howdy riders! 👋[/h2]

We’re super excited to tell you about a brand new running map coming to Hobby Horse!
This map is all about running fast, setting new records and having fun 💨⏱️
Our last maps took you to a green forest and a magical gnome village or more ✨🌲
But this time… we’re going somewhere totally different!


🌵 Welcome to the WILD WEST!

Saddle up and get ready for a hot, dusty desert adventure 🤠
This new map is inspired by old western movies and cowboy stories.

While you run, you’ll see:

🏜️ sandy paths and rocky canyons

🏘️ old western towns with wooden buildings

🛢️ barrels, rails, bridges and desert plants

⛰️ cool rock arches and narrow paths to race through


It really feels like a cowboy race across the desert!

🌪️ Watch out for tumbleweeds!
This map has a new challenge 👀
Rolling tumbleweeds can cross your path - you need to dodge them while running!
Stay focused, be quick and don’t let them slow you down 💥

🎶 New music, new vibes
We also added a brand new soundtrack just for this map 🎵
It has strong cowboy and Wild West vibes, perfect for fast runs and big jumps.

👀 More surprises coming…
This is one of several new maps we’re working on!
We’re also adding a few secret features to this Wild West map - but we’ll keep those as a surprise for now 😉✨


[h3]More details (and more maps!) will be shown in the next devlog, so stay tuned 💛
Tell us what you think and get ready to beat your best time![/h3]




See you soon,

[h2]Hey Riders! 👋[/h2]

It’s been a while since our last devlog - but we’re finally back and we’re coming stronger than ever 💥 Over the past months, we’ve been quietly working behind the scenes, experimenting, testing and polishing new ideas to make every run in Hobby Horse more exciting, dynamic and rewarding.
Today, we’re excited to show you some of the brand-new run mechanics we’ve been adding to the game. These aren’t just small tweaks - they’re features designed to change how you move, how you take risks and how you approach each track. And trust us.. this is just the beginning 👀✨

Let’s jump in!

[h3]🟦 Trampolines - Turn Momentum into Air Time![/h3]
Trampolines add a whole new layer of flow to your runs. Hitting one at the right height and timing your jump well, lets you launch into the air, clear obstacles or reach boosts and paths that would normally be out of reach 🚀 They reward good timing and bold decisions - use them smartly and you can completely change the pace and outcome of a race!



[h3]⚖️ Rails - Balance Your Way to Shortcuts[/h3]
Rails introduce a brand-new challenge: balance. Stay steady and you’ll be rewarded! Riding a rail lets you take shortcuts, avoid hazards like mud patches, or simply reach places you couldn’t before.
Mess up your balance, though.. and down you go 😅 High risk, high reward!



[h3]💥 Breakable Walls - Smash Through Obstacles![/h3]
Remember the boost from the demo? Now it has a brand-new use! Collecting a special boost allows you to break through walls and obstacles blocking your path. Instead of slowing down or detouring, you can go full power and smash straight through 💪
Perfect for aggressive runs and last-second saves!




⚠️ Work in Progress!
Just a quick heads-up:
Some visuals shown in the GIFs are still work in progress. For example, rails don’t have their final graphics yet and trampoline visuals may change depending on the map 😊


That’s it for now! Trust us, these mechanics are just the beginning 👀
Let us know which one you’re most excited to try and see you on the track! 🐴✨



See you soon,
Hobby Horse Team
