Can I ride the unicorn? If not, can I kill the unicorn?

I'd like to ride the unicorn as pictured both in the ad on the right as well as in the game main menu:

The unicorn seems to be an unkillable monster and I am unable to defeat it; I have to either dodge or use the photon blaster to set him back a few inches.

I tried goomba stomping it, tried charging head on, but I keep dying every time.

Even a highly powerful, high-density rainbow photon beam blaster didn't do anything to the unicorn; it merely pushed it back, without actually doing damage.

The picture to play depicts a valiant J Skeet on his steed; I'd like to know how I can ride the horse just as he does. If not, then I'd like to know how to beat the unicorn and perhaps take his horn home to put on my trophy wall.

Is there a way to ride the unicorn? Is there a way to defeat this vile unicorn? If not, is there any way to ride him as depicted in their ad?

Solution 1:

Definitely invulnerable and nothing more.

Shooting a unicorn:

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(this.boss, this.ammo, function(t, e) {
    e.kill()
}

does the same as shooting a platform:

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(this.platforms, this.ammo, function(t, e) {
    e.kill()
}

i.e. destroys the projectile but not the object shot.

Furthermore, any collisions with the unicorn simply end in death:

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(this.player, this.boss, this.loseGame, null, this)

Solution 2:

Running into the unicorn will kill you and shooting it pushes it back slightly. As far as i can tell you cannot kill it. I have currently shot it over 600 times in a row and it is still walking towards me. Apparently unicorns are invulnerable.

Solution 3:

The box art and menu art assets were created in parallel with game development, but the game development changed course without coordinating with art, so there's a slight discrepancy, and you cannot kill or ride the unicorn.
