Art Game: Nick Crockett's A Friend You Can Ride On (2017)

HORSE GAME is a mobile game designed to be played on the Arcade Backpack. Aided by a magic pocket mirror, players must guide their trusty and adorable pink steed, played by Nick, through both in-game city streets and the real-life Hammer Museum courtyard. Players can use the joystick to examine a map of their surroundings, but must tell their driver - either by shouting or by shoving - which way to go. Turn miles into money by picking up animal-corpse-beings and shepherding them to their destinations in your taxi.
