Es ist nichts besonderes aber durchaus um mal zwischendurch die Zeit zu vertreiben.
Let me start by saying that 90% of the game is a thumbs up/recommend by me. it is simple, but fun, a bit RNG with stats, but still a good easy to learn horse breeding/racing game. there are some things i wish they would change/add, such as different aptitudes for Turf/Dirt races for each horse, as of right now as far as i can tell, there is no difference for track type for horse ability, and i wish they would expand a bit on the breeding aspect, with regards to colors / personalities / stats, but overall it's a good fun simple game..... the reason i am not recommending this game, is because as of the last time i played the game (May 2026), once you start getting to year 10+ of a career, the game starts lagging horribly. from what ive read from the dev, it's because the family tree / stats / history starts bogging down the system the farther in you go, but what happens is menu/transitions/loading begins taking upwards of 30sec - 3min for everything you do. When that gets fixed, I will happily change my review, but at this point, there is no late game, because unless you sell/pasture ALL your horses, you can't get to the point where you can get a horse that is triple crown worthy, because you just can't keep enough horses in your stable without the game lagging out.

Tap Derby is a fun and engaging horse racing game. Training and upgrading your horses adds a rewarding layer of strategy. The thrill of seeing your horse perform better with each race is genuinely satisfying. It's a well-designed blend of progression and competition that makes the core loop feel consistently fun
I love this game. Reminds me of some games in the 90s I played, but even better. Its so addicting, I played it for a few hours and went and told some friends who have also purchased the game! Great job!
I have become kind of obsessed with this game. I was looking for a horse game that had breeding and competitions without the added fluff of grooming the horse and making you ride the horse yourself and such, I saw this one in the Horse Fest event and decided to try it. It's hard because it seems to be part user influence and part RNG, so you have to hope you did everything right and also get lucky, but it's easy enough to not make it horribly frustrating (except when you are forced to watch your horse come dead last). Anyway, this will definitely be a game I keep coming back to.
This game is so dang addictive, but not in an unfair way. there is no way to pat honse for winning :(
Very compelling loop of training and racing. Good game.

Highly addictive game! Pretty intuitive, easy to understand.
Setup very nicely for quick play. Has some depth and probably add lot more by an active one man show. Purchase this game and help him out, plus get a game worth much more than 5 dollars.
