The real challenge was never the driving — it's getting a nervous horse to choose to walk onto the trailer. Load Up is a cozy horse-loading simulator. No health bars here — just a horse that breathes, swishes its tail and pricks its ears, and the trust between you. Read its body language, find the gentle pressure-and-release rhythm, and load it, drive it, and unload it — calmly. — A full six-phase journey — Pick horse + scene → back the trailer in → load → transport → unload → results. Every leg is scored on staying gentle AND efficient. — Reading the horse is the soul of the game — Ears forward or pinned back? Head low or thrown up? Breathing fast? The CALM readout shows its state — but the real skill is reading the horse with your eyes. Press to build gentle pressure, release the instant the green window lights up, and it steps aboard. Force it and it rears or balks — so step back and give it room. — Three horses; personality is the difficulty — · Lao Li (retired): forgiving, wide window — great for beginners. · Xiao Yan (greenie): spooky and easily startled, narrow window. · Lei Ting (problem loader): rears and balks at the slightest force — a test of patience and restraint. — Four scenarios that stack difficulty — Ranch day · running late to a show · vet emergency (more anxious) · open field (no wall to back against). — More than just loading — · Backing: top-down view with three-color guide lines — and dodge the chicken, cone or kid that darts behind you, in time. · Transport: the horse shifts its weight on the road; counter-steer through hard stops, potholes and oncoming traffic — tap the bubble in time. · Unloading: the horse turns to face out, pokes its head from the box and walks down the ramp. — Make a horse just like yours — Coat and point colors, face markings, leg socks, patterns (pinto / appaloosa / roan / dapple), body size and build, mane & tail length, ears — all with a live preview. Name it, and keep a whole stable of your own horses. A Game Center leaderboard and 8 achievements track every gentle run; after each run, share a highlight "recording" of your best moment and challenge a friend. — Thoughtful details — · Switch freely between light and dark. · Real sound + haptics, mute anytime. · Full settings and privacy compliance, rated 4+, family-friendly. · Progress saved on-device — no sign-in, no connection required. Slow down. Be gentle. It'll load up. # Privacy We take your privacy very seriously and do not collect any personal data from you. # Support Contact us via support@loadupgame.com
