Stay the Distance Walkthrough

Stay the Distance is a racing game. Unlike most racing games on the Web, you race horses rather than cars or bikes. That;s right, you will be racing horses, real horses, not ponies. Maybe this game will make real men out of all of the Bronies out there.

The objective of Stay the Distance is to win the race, of course. There is only one race to compete in, but this is still enough of a challenge to keep even the most experienced racing game veteran occupied. Instead of just zooming around the track, you will have to have good timing as choose your horse wisely. We will discuss different horses later in this article.

Stay the Distance uses the keyboard as its control device. The up and down arrow keys are used to set the pace of your horse. The up arrow key increases your horse's pace while the down arrow key decreases its pace. You do not have to hold these keys down for your horse to maintain its pace. The left and right arrow keys steer your horse in the respective direction. The spacebar is used to jump. Try to jump before your horse reaches a hedge to successfully clear it and avoid crashing. Finally, the control key is used to crack your whip, the which serves as the "turbo boost" of this racing game. You can only do this three times, however, so use it sparingly.

The horse that you choose to race with has a major effect on the gameplay of this racing game. Read the descriptions of each horse carefully before making your selection. It is also a good idea to look at the odds. For example, a horse with 2-1 odds has a much better chance of winning than a horse with 11-1 odds. Selecting horses that have the odds stacked against them adds more challenge to the game and will result in a higher score should you defy the odds and win the race!

Stay the Distance is a unique racing game that requires a bit of brain power as well as pure racing skill. If you are tired of driving cars and bikes, then give horses a trot in this exciting racing game!
