Does the Pony Platform Game stand out from numerous other... pony platform games? Is 8-bit the art medium of the new millenium? Can one manage to get their OC's head stuck in a floating earth island? All this and more, after the break.

As you start the game, you are offered a choice of hair, mane and eye color for your pony. Although not a selling point, the ability to play as the pony of your choice (in color, if not in mane and tail style,) is a nice touch. Your colors can be randomized at any point during the game by pressing 'R'.

A brief message details the game's interesting control style - while you can run and jump, which is perhaps a little faster on land, holding the jump key allows you to fly. Flying is smooth, but on the ground the controls feel a little unresponsive and clunky. The power of unlimited flight allows you to explore the game area with greater ease, but also leads to some awkward interactions with the environment. Thankfully, you've been blessed with the magical power of upward motion through dirt, so you can't get permanently stuck.
