Horse Magnifier: The Full Horse has officially launched on Steam, bringing its distinct brand of puzzle-solving to the platform's popular new releases. While the title previously existed as a smaller project on Itch.io, this premium "Full Horse" edition expands the experience significantly.
The core gameplay requires players to manipulate two horses on screen using a variety of magnifying glasses. Each tool applies different distorting effects, and the objective is to match one horse to the other with pixel-perfect accuracy. Despite its unconventional premise and '90s-inspired drum 'n' bass soundtrack, the game has earned a "very positive" reception from players, with over 250 reviews currently logged on Steam.
What's Included in the Premium Edition
This release is positioned as a substantial upgrade over the original browser-based version. Key features include:
- Over 50 Levels: The premium edition adds a large suite of challenges for players to complete.
- Steam Workshop Support: Players can access community-created content, theoretically allowing for an ongoing stream of new puzzles.
- Launch Discount: The game is currently available on Steam at a reduced price for the initial launch window.
The game has gained attention for its blend of frustrating mechanics and humor, with early users describing the experience as a mix of beauty and confusion. It is currently available for purchase on PC via Steam.
