Experience the sleek, dazzling life of a professional Ostrich trainer in this SIM/RPG game!

Be warned, this game is not an action game and contains no explosions or severed limbs :P
If you like Sim style games or just love gambling, this is a game for you!
If not, don't worry, my next game will be action.
Enjoy.

All the instructions are in-game, but here are some key points:
- Save and load in the options menu on the home screen, as well as reset game button.
- You can improve your ostrich by either training it a lot or buying a faster one.
- If you take a loan, try and pay it off as soon as possible
- Main races are on Saturday, local races are on Wednesday
- Move your mouse over the box in the top left of the main map screen to see all your relevant stats

"Deleted Review"

date: November 3, 2009

I had a legitimate review posted, but it was deleted. I explained that I thought the game was broken and poorly executed, with near impossible chances to actually bet on any ostrich to WIN. Usually when you tell someone what's wrong with a game and why it's bad, that's constructive enough for them to use to fix it or when they make another game in the future. But apparently that was offensive and it was deleted. So...OK, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Hmm...next time, make the game not so frustrating for people that just pisses them off...oh, and HOORAY FOR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!

I didn't see your other review, but giving a 0 is always offensive no matter how much you dislike the game.

It's saying that all elements of the game, music, graphics, design, gameplay etc, - are all worthless. If you had ever made anything yourself and gotten a 0 for it you would understand why a 0 is an offensive review.

"gotta learn to type"

by: rayhs

if you can't type 20 WPM without looking at the keyboard you have to play half-assed (read cheat) to win.

You can win without training your ostrich yourself or cheating, it's just hard :P

"Easy to exploit"

date: November 3, 2009

While it was a fun game, the loan shark makes this game too easy to exploit. Basically I bought the best ostrich I could, took out the biggest loan I could, saved the game, and then just continuously bet on random ostriches until I won a ridiculous sum of money. Once I did that, I was able to buy the best ostrich in the game, put him in the best training program, buy all the food I'd ever need, and hired the best trainer there was. From there on all I did was keep 3 grand on me to pay the rent, and sleep until it was time to do the next race. Nice idea for a game though. Thanks for the submission!

Author's Response:

Yeah I know, that's what I said to Mo about the whole save-loading thing. Waaay to easy to exploit, but he insisted on putting it in.

Thanks for the review.

"Hmmm"

date: November 3, 2009

When I started to play the Game it was quite good.
Nice Idea to train the Ostrich, and i also won the first races.

Then I started to bet, because depending on Stats and the Bet-Ratio i definately had the f**** best Ostrich on the field....And whenever i bet, and if just 100 $ i never even get 2nd place...
There's nothing about loosing sometimes, but this is really annyoing -.-

But still it's a nice game to kill some time

Author's Response:

Strange, betting or not betting doesn't effect the outcome of the races.

You're probably just unlucky :P
