Gameplay

Horse Isle is set in a fictional world that centers on horses.[2] The focus is on the individual player's capture and care of horses, mini-games, training, arena competitions and the dozens of horse breeds the game offers. The game includes parental filters, allowing it to appeal to users of all ages. In 2010, the game had a player base of around 10,000.[3] The game is completely browser-based, but is a fully graphical online role-playing game. The artwork in Horse Isle has a 2D style with hand-drawn images.

The Horse Isle series uses educational elements involved as part of the game progression. These focus on reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics, science, and problem-solving.[4]

Life Cycle

In 2012, the third version of Horse Isle, called Life Cycle, was released. The game has the same virtual world but the focus is now on breeding. In Life Cycle, horses can age, breed and die.
