This machine has a rather simple look to it. Two people are riding horses in the middle of a forest. The player controls a man wearing white clothes and a white hat on a light brown horse machine. The other character is wearing darker colored clothing and has a much darker horse.
As you get faster and faster. you leave the forest and the background changes. The gallery at the bottom of this page shows the seven different environments you can be in. These include a red forest, a sunset, a city, and more.
The player gets four lessons, each based on the rhythm of a [[Wikipedia:Horse gait|horse gait]]. Once the player catches up to the other person, they go on to the next lesson. After the fourth, the horse speeds up and the background changes, as long as the player can keep up with the rhythm.
==Story==
''Horse Machine's Story,'' [[Things to Read in Rhythm Tengoku|a letter]] obtainable in Rhythm Tengoku, describes the secret story behind the development of the Horse Machine. The Horse Machine was developed by a scientist named Dr. F. Dr. F began development of the Horse Machine so everybody could experience the joy of riding a horse, which is his passion.
Dr. F experienced many hardships throughout the Horse's development. He often lost sight of the answers and considered giving up. Now, Dr. F says that if you play on the Horse Machine and get any bit of enjoyment, his hardships and problems will fly right away.
The objective is to follow along with the rhythms that the other horse trots to. After getting farther than the other horse, you will need to follow the next rhythm. Eventually, you will get to the last rhythm, galloping, which will repeat forever as it becomes faster. The rhythm will eventually become humanly impossible to maintain due to the speed and will require some sort of tool assistance to continue.
