Chasing Cans

This is our entry into the GDTV2026 Game Jam, theme "Connections".  In the world of barrel racing, in order to be successful your bond with your horse must be at its best! The connections that are made between rider and horse, are wonderful bonds to witness (of course, this coming from people who have 10 awesome horses in their lives). And we are blessed that we see it first hand, almost, every other weekend at barrel racing competitions. The name for our game is from a rodeo slang for barrel racing. 

Controls:

W/A/S/D : Move forward, turn left, move backward, turn right (respectively)

SPACE : Cue horse during cue window to increase bond

How to Play:

There is a barrel to your right, left and in front of you at the other end of the arena. In barrel racing you want to make a shape that resembles a clover.  So to do this, you want to run to the barrel on your right. You circle the barrel in a clock wise pattern. Then run to the barrel that is now across from you (the original left hand barrel).  Make a counter clock wise run around it. Then head for the  barrel in front of you (the original barrel that was at the far end of the arena). After making a counter clock wise run around that one, run straight back to the starting point. 

 Eventually, we would like to add more levels, other events (ie 50 yard dash, poles, keyhole etc.)
