Horse Magnifier: The Full Horse Reaches Overwhelmingly Positive With 100% Approval
Maintaining a 100% positive rating past 500 reviews is rare, and the game's success follows its jam version, which also holds high ratings on itch.io.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Solo developer sketbordcat released Horse Magnifier: The Full Horse on August 10 for PC via Steam and itch.io. The puzzle game, which has players distort horses with lenses, has kept a 100% positive review rate on Steam while surpassing 500 reviews, earning the Overwhelmingly Positive status. It includes over 50 puzzles and Steam Workshop support.
The game tasks players with matching a target image by placing magnifying, shrinking, and flipping lenses over a horse picture. Lenses can be stacked, and slight misalignments still count as correct. The result is often a horse that barely resembles its original form, which gives the puzzle a comedic edge while still requiring genuine trial and error.
Horse Magnifier: The Full Horse launched on August 10 and within days reached Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. User reviews, including Steam keys, stand at 530 with 100% positive. The game is on sale for 355 yen, 10% off, until August 18.
The project grew out of Horse Magnifier: Jam Edition, built in three weeks for MacGDC Game Jam 2026. That free browser version has 18 stages and holds a 4.88-star rating from about 1,100 itch.io reviews.
