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.

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

This mostly solo project began as a Game Jam entry for Ludum Dare 31 (theme: "Entire Game On One Screen") in 2014. During the first half of 2015 I worked infrequently on the game, mostly concerned with getting Greenlit and/or finding a publisher to bring it to Steam and other PC distributors. When I succeeded in getting the game approved for Steam, I concentrated my full efforts on it and, after about 6 full months of development it was complete. The music was original and created by Jonah Senzel. The design of the first 30 minutes of the game (originally the demo) was greatly assisted by Simon Jenkins, an experienced industry game designer. I created all code, art assets (with the exception of some 3D assets) and the design for the subsequent acts of the game. Playtesting was absolutely essential to the end result and everyone who played the game during development made a significant contribution, especially my girlfriend Tasha, who had to continuously suffer through the levels and puzzles that only I had ever played and were way too hard.


🌍️ Wikipedia:

Pony Island is a video game developed and published by Daniel Mullins. As a metafictional game, the game has the player interact with what appears to be an old arcade cabinet game called "Pony Island". The player soon discovers the game is corrupted by a demonic being which is trying to claim the player's soul for itself. The player is aided by the soul of a previous player who helps the player access Pony Island's internal programming to get around the traps left by Satan and save their soul.

Gameplay

Pony Island is presented as a point-and-click style adventure game though often using other user-interface metaphors, such as a simulated operating system. The player uses this to explore the internal programming of "Pony Island" arcade game. At times, the player must play the "Pony Island" game, a type of endless runner game with shoot 'em up elements, guiding a pony character in a side-scroller while avoiding obstacles and shooting enemies that might attack it. Mechanics of this "Pony Island" game, as well as the operating system, may be accessed by clicking on special marks that appear on the screen, presenting the player with simplified pseudocode along with one or more boxes and visual instruction commands, such as "move down", "move left" or "repeat". On these screens, the player will be required to reorder the visual instructions as to allow the program execution to complete or to achieve a certain goal, such as raising their experience points past a specific level.
