180 seconds loose in the stockyard
HORNS RUN
The screen above is not a video and not a mockup. It is the game itself, running the same sim and the same renderer you get on /play, with a scripted pilot at the controls.
control panel
four verbs. that is the entire game.
horn swing
a wide arc across everything in front of you. one clean hit puts a farmer down.
stampede
charge at four times your speed. nothing lands on you mid charge and anything you cross is trampled.
headbutt
meet a wind up head on. the hit is cancelled and the farmer is left wide open.
ground stomp
a full circle slam that throws the ring off you. twelve seconds before you get another.
- 180seconds. the hard cap on a run.
- 146ranch hands scheduled across it.
- 60ticks a second. the same inputs replay the same run.
- 1seed. every runner gets the same yard.
your nft. your bull. your run.
The bull you own is the bull on the field. Pick one from your garage and it becomes your character, your portrait and your name on the board. It never becomes an advantage.
Golden Maverick#0042 / epic
Black Thunder#0187 / rare
Greenhorn#0301 / common
Pasture King#0777 / elite
Development bulls, shown while the collection is not yet launched. Names and art are placeholders.
same seed. same stats. your skill.
Same seed
One shared daily seed builds every arena, so the farmers and the timing are identical for everyone.
Same stats
Every bull has the same health, the same speed and the same damage. Rarity changes the colour of your hide and nothing else.
Your skill
The only difference between two scores is how the two players ran. That is the entire product.
This is enforced by the build, not by policy. The simulation and the renderer are blocked from importing wallet or NFT code at all, so no bull can carry a stat even by accident.
where the build is
- the run
- playable now
- free, in the browser. no account and nothing to install
- controls
- keyboard only
- a run needs a real keyboard. touch controls are not built yet
- daily seed
- fixed for now
- one seed shared by everyone. daily rotation is not wired up yet
- leaderboard
- not live yet
- the board page still shows placeholder scores
- holder skins
- not live yet
- no collection exists, so there is nothing minted to hold
nothing here pays out and no rank earns a prize. a run is worth the score on it.
read only here. connecting checks a balance and changes nothing about the run
the gate is already open
