Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. It is not a game about ponies.

Reviews

“It’s a self-aware indie gem with an anarchic sensibility, where anything can happen.”
9/10 – IGN

“Pony Island is bloody genius.”
9.5/10 – Jim Sterling

“This is a game that had me both laugh out loud, and exclaim to my monitor how smart it was being.”
Rock, Paper, Shotgun

About This Game

Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. The devil detests having his puzzles solved and poor programming exposed; you will need to think outside the box to proceed and you will be insulted when you do.

In Pony Island you will...

  • Peer behind the rotting curtain of "Pony Island" to repair its broken code
  • Be forced to play along with The Devil's demented game of ponies
  • Explore the depths of the cryptic software system that runs His game

This game is about as indie as it gets.

So I bought this game because I don't really have anything better to do. Sure, it is a kids' game, and sure, it is five dollars for what would normally be five dimes, but it's actually a really solid game.

Pony Island is an interesting game.
Levels are a bit repetitive at first.
Eventually you get powerups.
After that, it gets more interesting.
Some of the levels get pretty tricky.
Early on, all you can do is jump.
Hovering is added a bit later.
Enemies come at you every few seconds.
Left mouse button to jump over obstacles.
Push enemies away with right mouse button.
Make it to the flagpole and you can advance.
Every so often you get a "Puzzle Break"
It's kind of like a programming puzzle.
A butterfly is trying to get to its house.
Moving arrows around defines a route.
The butterfly follows the arrows.
Reach the house to advance.
Anybody can learn this game.
Please give it a try.
Play it right now.
E   verybody.

I bought this game for my daughter, thinking it would be about ponies. Now she's crawling on the ceiling and spewing bugs out of her mouth while crying for the dark lord.
5/7, would introduce the dark lord Beezlebub into my home again
