Some of these prizes that were in the gold prizes should have been in the silver prize list. Horseshoe studs? P. Stroke? C. Fortune? These should have not been gold. Prizes were not even worth it. Not so optimistic about the next event now.

I was very happy with this game overall. It was easy to understand and easy to progress. However, i have two complaints/suggestions for next time
1. I think the treats/paces were still way too expensive
2. We should get slightly better prizes for the time that is put in

As others have stated many of the prizes weren't worthy to be deemed Gold or Silver.

I didn't use any passes to play as I don't consider a Hestia gift a top prize even though I am on a unicorn team.

My suggestions:

[*1 treat per day*] as a UFO. I mention this every survey and will continue to do so. It costs nothing but helps to improve player moral.

[*Less time between moves*] by 30 minutes. More people would have a chance at completing the event and be content. Happy players should be the aim of promos, not merely profit increase for the company.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'm always appreciate of the games Howrse provides to earn free gifts, thank you! That being said, this game wasn't as fun as most of the others. It took too long to get the paces and if you weren't able to log on multiple times a day you missed out on being able to use them.

For the first time in a while I wasn't able to complete the game. I can usually use a few passes and complete the game, but I wasn't enough close this time to bother doing that. Please make it to where the Pace meter is bigger so we can log on once a day.

Thanks!

So so so teeny weeny on my screen that I could not see the map, then the arrows were huge. I found this very annoying. The arrows going all the wrong directions was annoying as well. For me, up is up, down is down, left and right are left and right. I did get some gifts, did not finish the mazes. I never did like this one.

I did not find this game fun, its a lot of trial and error, which gives you no chance to get to finish it in the time given. also was stated that it would finish on the 1st of October, not the 30th of September even though it probably wouldn't have helped with getting you to the end without spending passes

I won't say a word about the prizes at this event... The words I was supposed to use to describe the prizes would get me banned from the forum. default smiley (8)

I didn't even get close to the end despite all the shortcuts and skipping presents. Game glitched after I answered a riddle, it didn't let me go forward, and when I clicked to go backwards to see if my game froze up, of course it only went backwards and used up my extra move.
Prizes weren't really good either. Never using Passes on a Maze game again. default smiley (n)

I usually don't mind the mazes. It's a decent promo. Easy to finish. I was able to make it out of the final maze despite messing up a few times.


The prizes for this promotion were so disappointing. Horseshoe studs were a gold prize? Uhh no. Sorry Howrse, that's a terrible gold prize. The only gold that was worth it was the Harmony pack. This promo had the worst prizes I've seen so far. The mazes used to be great in terms of prizes. Now it's terrible. No way was I spending passes on this promo either.


I'll also pass on the divine. Too expensive for the perk. And I know I'll have to fill the rest of the meter default smiley (o)

I didn't end up finishing, so I missed the HG and Aura, but I'm not too concerned. The other 6 main level prizes were pretty good. I will say what's been said by others though; most of the Gold-level prizes were not gold-tier in value. A lot of them should have been higher-end silver prizes.

I did find it a little disappointing, I admit. A lot of the promos have been going this way, and they seem to be heading only further and further in this direction. Nothing we can do about it, but it's sad.

The mazes have always been a somewhat un-exciting event for me but not the worst.
However as someone who is sometimes only able to log in once a day before work i have never managed to finish a maze event or even really get very close. I usually make it to less than half way through the second last maze and that's only when i ignore most of the prizes and just try to be as efficient as possible with the paces available. Would love it if there was a longer pace bar or some other solution for those of us who cannot log on multiple times a day.

For starters i always forget to mention that it would be very nice to have a SKIP button for the events so that players that all ready know what to do can just play from the start without having to do all the annoying intro to the events

Prize wise, very mediocre for the gold prizes i didnt even bother going for the silver or bronze

Repeated prizes for the gold boxes was annoying and wasnt even a good prize

I wasnt all that interested in the event this time so i missed out on a lot of moves so i didnt complete the event this time round

Again as i always mention with this event the arrows are very miss leading and slow so at times you end up pressing the wrong arrow and moving where you dont want to go

At least make the arrows point in the direction of the map where you are going to move

Not an event im too keen on could do with some improvement especially with the rewards given.

The promo ended at the time it was supposed to, it's the crown that stays until the 1st. The crown always stays an extra day, with almost all promos ending on a Monday.

Also to add that the divine horse that is always on the event page with a different end date to the event your playing makes it very confusing to know which day the event ends

so i think they should be placed in separate tabs and the event should have the day and time it ends with the event and not the divine horse

it is very annoying and not so clear as to when the actual day of the event ends and i think it would be nice if that changed

It states on the banner when the event ends, plus the date on the other banner for when the crown ends. They are separate. They mention the crown date on the divine banner on the promo page because that is when the crown offer ends. I personally play both versions, I've never had any trouble finding the end dates for both offers.

I was not that impressed with the overall prize pool. I liked that some of the non buyable BMs were end of maze prizes, but the prizes within the mazes themselves felt very cheap in comparison.

The only prize i was really wondering about why are dropping a prize not everyone has plant divines. They can sell it i guess. I think manure is better. I win that for lottery event.

I got several things for clicking a few times. Super happy. default smiley :)

Anyone who isn't happy, you do know that you are not required to play the game, right? If the prize doesn't appeal to you, don't play. default smiley ;)

I have never been a fan of the mazes. The movement is confusing and it takes too long to advance. The Divine definitely wasn't worth it so I didn't waste passes. The bronze, silver, and gold prizes, as others mentioned were not very well divided. Things that were gold should have only been silver or even bronze. And I really hate getting droppings as a prize. Kind of insulting! As someone else suggested, it would be nice to have a UFO treat once in a while. I usually hate those stupid UFO's. They never have anything good in them and are just annoying getting in the way of my game, but to have one tie in to a promo would be nice. I think Howrse has too many promos too close together. It would be nice to have a little tine in between to just play my game.

The mazes promotion is one of my favorite promotions. But the prizes this time were not that great and waiting two hours for the meter to get moves made it boring. Plus, I recall there used to be a few diamond prizes that would be good BM items like a Nyx pack. They were missing this time.

I did finish the mazes without using passes even though I made two small mistakes. As to the divine, I won't bother to try for it because the fragment rate will be low and I won't use passes to fill the meter. Not worth it to me. It needs some work to make it better. default smiley :$

Not a great event in my opinion. The Starry Aura horses are pretty much worthless and not what I consider any kind of good prize. I did not waste passes on this event. I started out just going for all the gifts until I realized that most of them weren't worth getting, were things I could make myself, or things I could buy in the shop. This event has never been a favorite and I do believe it has been dumbed down even more than the last time it was held. It is a boring event that takes way too long to advance. I did, however, like the graphics. Space stuff is always good even if it was a little cartoonish. Looking forward to having some time now to just take care of my horses and play the game!

I noticed that this survey didn't show the results of the poll like Howrse usually does. Has anyone else noticed that when Howrse doesn't show us the results it's because they've gotten too many negative answers?

meh. completely. I always come up 2 or 3 moves too short on the end maze. Doesn't look coincidental at all. Probably will skip it next time. default smiley 8-)

Overall, I was satisfied with it.

I kinda wished they would have given us more prizes that we could sell or exchange, so I'm not stuck with items I don't want and will likely never use in my inventory forever, but most of the prizes were great (I got 20k Equus from one maze! Thank you!) and it was easy to play.

The desktop version was cool to watch while I moved because it actually showed the maze corridors (or whatever they were called)! If the background art for this event is available with Ow's Helio's Ray, I will definitely use it for my horses someday.

I've seldom kept returning to an event like I did with this one. I hope there will be more events like it in the future! default smiley (l)
