Excellent Game! – Derby Quest: Horse Manager Review

Derby Quest is such a joy to play. I have only one issue with the gameplay and a few bugs to report, but overall this is an excellent and addictive game. First, sometimes when I am racing a horse, I have another racer on the right or left side of my horse, but the mechanics won't let me veer away from that racer. Second, when you switch the jockey from male to female and vise versa, the female version only shrinks at the waist (appropriately, which is nice) and receives a long ponytail, but does not change the face. It is odd that I have a female jockey with a man's face...that is something I would like fixed. Third, it took me hours to figure out this one: when I am trying to purchase a treat, feed, tack, or equipment for my jockey, the only options I see are apples, hay, the basic tack/equipment. For some reason, the scrolling part of the par that should display the other options is blank. I am able to purchase the other options, however, by blindly tapping the blank page, but I do not like this at all. Lastly, on an older version of this game that I played years ago, the color of a new horse's coat was decided by genetics. That feature was very intriguing to me, and I am rather upset that it is gone. Again, overall this is an amazing game and I don't ever plan on stopping playing it. If you love horses and want a more interactive (free) game, do not hesitate to try this game out. I would not suggest skipping the tutorial, this is not a very self-explanatory game. -A very pleased DQ player
