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. It is not a game about ponies.

7/10 J'adore les jeux comme ça, très très bon. Le titre peut en décourager certains.

Started playing on NYE - don't know why. I remember hearing the Giant Bomb guys raving about it back in the day. So far, I'm a fan of the weird mishmash of rendering styles.

Started playing on NYE - don't know why. I remember hearing the Giant Bomb guys raving about it back in the day. So far, I'm a fan of the weird mishmash of rendering styles. The attitude is a little much, and the programming loops are kind of annoying, along with the constant "what would the dev want me to do" thought process that is inherent to this kind of game.

Plataforma: Steamdeck (bateria top pero el control un poco chungo)
Duración: Corto, pero teniendo en cuenta su jugabilidad hasta un poco largo
Historia: Guay, tiene algunos giritos y roturas de la 4ª pared que están muy bien
Nota: 8,12

Love this game

Super solid, tons of different game mechanics and layers of meta writing, creepy atmosphere, and a satisfying progression. There are a few similar games - There is no Game, Stanley parable, Doki Doki, etc - but this one pulls it off so well and has a very unique tone. Highly recommend this unique gem.

Just being self aware and tongue-in-cheek doesn't make this a good game. I've played and enjoyed a few fake/fantasy OS games, but this is just boring. There's nothing here. It's supposed to be only around 2-3 hours long, but I couldn't keep on going after one.

was watching someone stream this a bit last night and it looks like a fun, fresh take on some aspects of the adventuresque formula (yes please!) with some twi5t5 am1dst th3 fluff 0x01

What. A. Trip.

Pros:
-- Fun 4/8-bit graphical aesthetic
-- Surprises around every corner
-- Probably more enjoyable if you have any interest in programming flow

Cons:
-- With no way to have expectations, you can't really know if you will enjoy this or not
-- Talking too much about the game spoils the surprises
-- Probably less enjoyable if you have no …
