Pony Island. Don’t look into the game at all. Go in blind. Awesome little gem of a game.

Second this.

Also once you're done, play Dan Mullens other games: The Hex and Inscryption.

Oh wait, Inscryption was made by the same guy? That explains a lot.

Yep. I beat Hex. I stopped playing Inscryption by the 2nd "phase" (I don't know what it's called, but you know what I mean). I'm having a difficult time picking it back up.

The 2nd and 3rd acts of the game were a bit weaker than the first one(to the point where they released a version that is just an endless act 1) but the ending of the game was incredible

Trying to take your advice and not look into the game. Can you tell us what genre this is?

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I haven’t played it in years. I guess would say puzzle platformer? It reminds me most of Undertale and it’s a little hard to nail down a specific category. It’s much more than it appears. I would say there’s very little replayability.

I never could get far in it. I have absolutely terrible hand-eye coordination for the exact type of action the game presents. I've never gotten past the second round of pony levels. I've lost at least 30 times in stage 4 (the second stage with floating demon heads). I just can't do both things at once.

Which is a shame. The puzzle part of the game is great. I wish there were a way to skip the action parts. I forgot all about it til your comment here. I might just have to give in and watch a let's play of it.
