Dismounting is an action game where the player must dismount from a horse or pony to gain access and control of its movements, while avoiding obstacles such as fences and other horses. Players usually start by riding their chosen animal on level terrain with no distractions like enemies in this type games. The gameplay involves jumping over hurdles that block paths for players. As they progress through the game levels (usually 1-2), more complex challenges are introduced to make it harder, requiring strategic thinking about how best and when to use dexterity. Players can expect a variety of obstacles such as fences or other horses in their way.
