four verbs. that is the entire game.

  • J

    horn swing

    a wide arc across everything in front of you. one clean hit puts a farmer down.

  • K

    stampede

    charge at four times your speed. nothing lands on you mid charge and anything you cross is trampled.

  • L

    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.

how a run pays

three steps. no wallet needed to play.

  1. 01

    Play every day

    Level up and every level is a ticket.

  2. 02

    Pick your desk

    NVDA, GME or QQQ. Fewer pickers, bigger slice.

  3. 03

    The bell rings

    Four times a day the pot splits between the tickets in it.

ride or cash out

Cash a ticket at the next bell, or hold it. Every window a ticket is held through adds 5% to its weight. The bank stops at 2.0x. Holding the coin counts a ticket half again on top of that, so the most a ticket can reach is 3.0x. A day with no run puts the bank back to 1.0x. The ticket itself is never taken away.

an example. the pot is whatever the fees bought.

pick a desk

three desks. pick one.

  • GMEthe degen desk
  • QQQthe index desk

the ladder

a level is a ticket.

30 levels. Each one pays.

    Gold skull

A black bull charges through the stockyard gate under a ticker board
the yard, at the open

the honest part

nothing here is a projection.

Free to play. No NFT. No gate.

  • the board

    Your score gets you on the board and nothing else. Levels pay and score never does, so cheating has nothing to buy.

  • the coin

    Holding the game's coin (working name $HORNS) makes every ticket count half again.

  • the pot

    Pots are whatever the coin's trading fees bought. Nothing is promised in advance.

Enforced by the build and not by policy. The simulation and the renderer cannot import wallet or player code at all, so no bull can carry a stat even by accident.
