Pocket Jockey is a full-body horseracing game. Compete against your friends or race solo in this fast-paced motion-and-audio experience!
The closer you gallop to the beat of the song, the faster your horse runs! An occasional whipping makes your horse go even faster.
There are 3 fun ways to race:
•Jumping up and down while holding the device in front of your face (whip by flicking)
•Bouncing your legs after putting the device in your back pocket (whip by spanking yourself!)
•Tapping the screen (whip by flicking)
Keep track of the race by watching the colorful jumbotron screen. For an extra challenge, put the device in your pocket and listen for the race sounds!
Playing multiplayer is easy: all you need is a Wifi connection and a friend who has Pocket Jockey.
Get ready for a full-sensory gaming experience like no other!

Really fun + unique app!

Very fun game, with novel uses of the iPhone's audio and accelerometer. UI is pretty slick too. A good deal at this price level.
Quite a workout

Wow. I just finished playing and it blew my mind. I'm still a little out of breathe from jumping around and slapping my bum. I quite a few people were starring at me thinking I was crazy running around on a horse in public!
game is cool
iPhone 2.0
Innovative for sure. Worth the buck I paid for it, which can't be said for most things I've purchased. This game and Ocarina are leading the next versions of interesting apps on the iPhone.
Awesome!

This game is so much fun, and definitely a workout. You can easily play 10 games in a row and not know where the time went!
Inspired, insipid entertainment -- and way too much fun

Wow. Talk about innovative use of accelerometer! Yet it works. In fact it works too well. And yes, I think my wife wants me to test it out (again) tonight... Bravo.
This game is hilarious

The best way to play is to put it in your back pocket and gallop in place. I just played against my girlfriend and she just took off down the street!
This Game Rocks!
Joe the Horse Jockey
So fun and very different from all the other games out there. It's hilarious to watch two people with headphones playing this game, jumping up and down for seemingly no reason. See for yourself!
Best 99 cents i've spent

This app ain't no one trick pony... well, there's one main trick and that is a fun, simple game for your iPhone. The graphics are tight and the sound is scintillating, especially the track annoucer.... "a lovely day at the fairgrounds." The single player option is alright, and will be great to have the cpu be a bit more competitive (playing brickbreaker in the stall for so many years has really honed my hand-eye coordination). The two player is schweeeeeeet! Very addictive and mildly hysterical. Giddyup!!!!
Great funny moments

I downloaded this a bit randomly as it caught my attention and seemed kinda different and it turned out to be a very funny surprise. A very social app that makes meeting and getting to know people much easier and more entertaining. I wish we had more social apps ("social" as in real-world social!) like this for the iphone!
