Game: Cutie Mark Unmagic



 Hot on the nonexistent trails of the lack of news about season 5 of that one horse show, futzi01 has another one of those Flash games he always makes. This time, the concept is six minigames centered around one-upping each member of the main cast at some part of their special talents, sending them face-first into crushing show spoilers and the endless wait for more drips of information. If all six of the minigames are beaten in one sitting, your reward is a screen ranting about the excessive commercialization of a show designed primarily to sell toys.

Mini-Game: Hop, Skip & Jump

http://www.mylittlegamedev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1198

 If you have some time to kill but don't have enough energy to invest into a complex game, here's a more simple option for you. Leap from pillar to pillar while avoiding the off-screen hydra and collecting gems on the way that you can use to unlock other ponies and hats(YES HATZ) in this little game that could potentially rival Flappy Bird when it comes to addictiveness. Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Android!

 Since it's a rather straightforward concept there's no break this time. Enjoy!

My Little Game Dev Marathon Reviews: Pinkie or Not Pinkie / Primaeval Threat / The Moon


After playing several games from the recent My Little Game Dev Marathon, I realized that I couldn't review them in our standard format. For one thing, it would be unfair to hold a game created in two weeks to the standards I'd expect from a larger project. For another, it would be impossible to do them all justice!

Instead, I tackled three of my favorites at once and graded them against their peers. Find Pinkie or Not Pinkie, Primaeval Threat, and The Moon below the break!

 Two Argentinian blokes who called themselves Silly Mare Games (creators of Stroll) were playing Tales of Eternia's "WHIS" minigame when one of them decided that it needed more ponies, and recreated it in Game Maker. It has a pretty main menu and nice music, but unfortunately I can't exactly review it since I'm not sure how one should grade a card game. Kind of a shame that it doesn't have multiplayer, but hopefully the developers decide to implement it fairly soon.

 Oh yeah, and it works well enough in Wine, if agonizingly slow. As with all Game Maker games you should install directmusic and dsound via Winetricks/PlayOnLinux in order to have working audio, but since it runs so slowly on Linux you might want to skip the game altogether. Then again, I did manage to complete the entire game of SuperTux on my old Linux box while running the game at about 5fps, so don't let extremely low framerates stop you!

The Sparklepeep Season 3 Minigame Compilation


Several months ago, Sparklepeep over on DeviantArt resolved to make a minigame for every episode of season 3. As the season flashed past, the games just kept coming, and finally, the set is (almost) complete! Find them all below the break!

Flash Games: Pinkie's Balloon Patrol/Pony Puzzles/FLUTTERSHY NAVIGATE


Happy Sunday! May yours be lazy and sweet.

Development on major projects has been slow this week, but we've got loads of creative pony flash games to fill the void! Today, we've got puzzles, a pixelated Pinkie Pie balloon catcher, and a mind-bending little game based on Keep Calm and Flutter On. You know where to click!

Game: Sweet Apple Cider


Jeez, Applejack, it's about time you took responsibility for cider season. 

Sweet Apple Cider is a ponified remake of Tapper, the classic 1983 arcade game. Playing as Applejack, the player frantically runs back and forth between three tables in a futile attempt to buck enough cider to satisfy the oncoming horde. Gameplay is simple and addictive, and while there's only one level, it should keep you gnashing your teeth for a while.

The game's pixelated charm is evident right from the title screen, which nostalgically proclaims "CREDIT 0, INSERT 2 BITS". The rest of the graphics seem homemade as well, and the game successfully pulls off the retro feel. The chiptune rendition of "Raise This Barn" playing in the background doesn't hurt. 

Overall? This is one of the best minigames I've played in a while. Go give it a try!

Magic Duel Episode Minigame Compilation Post


Sweet mother of Celestia, that was quite an episode last weekend. In just a few days, it's spawned loads of fan content - including games, of course. Astounded? Don't thank me, thank sparklepeep, FearlessPie, and SylrePony! More after the break.
