Game: Twilight Wing

Futzi01, pony flash game maker nonpareil, just released his newest game - Twilight Wing. Play it now while it's still hot off the presses (seriously - this game is only a few minutes old at the time of writing)! It's a bullet hell style game where you must retrieve Elements of Harmony by blasting enemies with Twilight's magic. This game will definitely be getting a full review in the near future - but for now, simply play and enjoy!

Iridescent Pony Warrior Beta

Download Iridescent Pony Warrior

Super robot hyper team pony force go! ...at least, that's what the game Iridescent Pony Warrior sounds like to me. I'm told the name is more or less a parody of bullet hell naming conventions in general.

Iridescent Pony Warrior is actually a bullet avoider, meaning you spend more time dodging the flood of projectiles as you don't have to aim yours toward the boss. The full version, roughly slated for the beginning of Season 4, will contain more complete mechanics, and a variety of RPG elements to make the game more than just blasting.

Don't write the game off as easy, though. True to its roots, even the demo of Iridescent Pony Warrior contains an additional set of challenges after the completion of hard mode. In the beta, a single shot will knock you out of the sky, so you've got to be on your toes. Have at it!

Review: Rainbow Wake: the Game

Download it Here!

Man, I find out about two top-down pony shooters in a week? I must be dreaming.
DeftFunk's relatively new game is based off of the thestoicmachine's unusual comic Rainbow's Wake. Rainbow Dash has stolen Twilight's horn, and the resulting insanity lends itself perfectly to bullets and explosions.

Does the game live up to the oddball humor of the comic? Yadda yadda yadda and more, after the break.

Review: Bullet Hell Ponies (My Little Pony vs. Starcraft II) v1.6

Download it Here!

I promised myself I'd beat this game on Pony Mode like a man before I reviewed it. Two days later, I've emerged bloody but victorious, and I'd call myself qualified. For over a year, huod umop apisdn (get it?) has been developing this classic Touhou-style game, which we posted way back in the day. The download link above goes to the games' development blog, which also contains download links for the XNA and Microsoft .NET frameworks required to play the game. If you want to see the game before committing to downloading all this stuff, the team released a trailer here.

Bullets! Ponies! Bullets! Starcraft! Friendship! Bullets! That stuff, as well as some (hopefully useful) advice, after the break!
