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
Kotaku and RPS gave this glowing reviews recently

At one point I was tricked into thinking I had accidentally sent a horrible message to someone outside the game. The tricks Pony Island played on me were so clever and effective that when I finally finished playing and closed the application, I wasnt sure if I actually closed it. Im still not 100 percent certain.

This is such a treat, and I fear that the (perfect) name will mean too many people look past it. I love that its not mocking anything in particular when it apes early 90s arcade games, and yet feels like its mocking the entire universe at the same time. I love that it feels cruel, yet I couldnt make a good argument to justify why, especially when half your time is spent jumping about a magic pony. So trust me, pick this one up.
