    For those who don't mind a little bit of morbid fun, Unpleasant Horse is anything but unpleasant.

    Despite the lack of multiplayer capabilities and dearth of social options, the free game is definitely worth a look-- for shock value alone.

    Yet another take on the endless jump concept popularized by Doodle Jump, it's obviously not the world's most original concept, but while there isn't a whole lot to the game, the general performance is sound, the saccharine-goth artwork is gleefully deranged, and the price tag (FREE!) is great, so what are you waiting for?

    Although the gameplay is perhaps a little too simplistic for our tastes, the presentation in Unpleasant Horse is top-notch. The graphics are great, the premise is pleasantly twisted, and the music adds a classical counterpoint to the Adult Swim-style madness happening on the screen.

    This relaxed take on making games means free games for you, Mr. or Mrs. Consumer, so if Unpleasant Horse sounds interesting to you at all and you can stomach the unpleasantness, then definitely give it a download.

    Attractive and fun for a short while, the unbalanced gameplay and lack of social features end up clipping the wings of this fairly pleasant casual game.

    Despite having wings, your Unpleasant Horse's flying abilities are poor to say the least, so getting around requires leaping from cloud to cloud while stealing passing birds.
