🎠 A Big Thank You + Music Info! 🎶

[h3]Hey Hobby Riders! 🐎[/h3]
[h3]First of all – thank you SO much for all your feedback, suggestions, and kind words after the release of the demo. Your support means the world to us and it really helps shape the future of the game. We still have a lot of work ahead, but knowing you're with us on this journey makes all the difference. 💜
[/h3]
Now, to answer one of the most common questions we’ve been getting lately:

👉 “Can I use the music from the game in my videos/streams/shorts?” Yes! Absolutely yes! 🙌

We have full copyright ownership of the soundtrack in Hobby Horse – it was made entirely by one of our amazing developers! 🧑‍🎤🎼 So if you’re posting on TikTok, YouTube, Shorts, or anywhere else – feel free to keep the original music on. You’re 100% allowed to use it in your content.

We’ve also heard that some of you turn off the music just to be safe – but there’s no need! Soon we’ll update the in-game soundtrack titles so it’s even clearer that the music is original and safe to use. 🎧✨

[h3]Thanks again for being part of this project. Your voices matter – and yes, your ideas really do shape what Hobby Horse becomes! 💬🐴[/h3]

With love,
Hobby Horse Team

Check out the upcoming Playtest maps 👀

Yo riders! 👋


[h3]It’s finally happening — Hobby Horse is opening up playtest sign-ups and you’re officially invited. 🎟️[/h3]

If you’re into races, horses, flexing your skills or just wanna try something absolutely fresh — this is your shot. Sigma energy only 🧢.

We’re dropping you into three crazy maps — each one with its own vibe, obstacles and hidden traps ready to catch you slippin’.


[h3]First up, we’ve got the Forest. 🌳[/h3]

It’s lush, green and full of those misty, overgrown paths that look peaceful — until you realize you’re dodging hurdles, benches, cones and old tires left and right. 🌲

Move fast, jump clean, and don’t sleep on the boosts — without them, you’re gonna feel the weight of every mistake.


[h3]Next, the Gym. 🏋️[/h3]

Classic polished floors, bright lights, stacks of benches and that old-school gym smell you somehow still remember. 🏫

Pacing here gets brutal — obstacles come at you fast, tight turns everywhere, and if you miss a jump? GG bro, your time’s cooked. Power-ups scattered across the hall can seriously save your run — skip them and you're playing yourself.


[h3]And then... there’s the Gnome Village. 🏚️[/h3]

Imagine giant glowing mushrooms, little houses, and winding fantasy roads under a purple sky. 🍄✨Sounds chill, right?

Except now you’re also dodging thorn patches ready to rip your momentum apart. Plus the usual hurdles, cones, tires, benches — only now it’s all mixed into a magic fever dream where one wrong move means long minutes added as a penalty to your final time..



No matter which map you're running, you’ll NEED the upgrades to make those clutch saves, boost your jumps and help you elevate your times to the next level.
It’s simple:
Skip the power-ups? Mid runs. ☹️
Grab the power-ups? Sigma flexes and leaderboard domination. 🏆💪

[h2]🎮 JOIN THE PLAYTEST[/h2]
This is your chance to be part of the first wave. Race through the Forest, the Gym, and the Gnome Village. Master every jump, break every record and most importantly shape the game with your feedback. 💬

Spots are limited, so get in now before you're just watching others pull off those perfect runs.
Sign up, jump in, and let’s make Hobby Horse history together. 🖤
