Coder Brony here. Thanks everypony, I'm glad you like it!
Yes, I do hate sticky keys although there was no ulterior motive in picking it, I just usually use shift for jump etc. in games. Also I spent ages trying to get a thud sound that sounded right :P
I dislike this game. The reason is that the challenge is the struggle to control your character. I consider a player vs. interface conflict to be bad design.
Props to creator, he definitely knows what he's doing in the gameplay department: this is Robot Unicorn kind of brilliance.
The difficulty curve is a bit too hardcore though (thud-thud-thud-thud...). Some more air control wouldn't hurt, I think. Again, like in Robot Unicorn.
@Anonymous You wouldn't like any racing/flying/platforming games then.
I turned sticky keys off after the last 'press space to jump' disaster. It also lets you use a mouse-press for jump as well.
So far haven't gotten past 600m. Once in a while the game freezes for a second or two and the messed up timing makes me crash -- Is anyone else getting that?

It's like a scheme to get you to turn off sticky keys.
940, wanted to get 1k, but got tired. Pretty good though.
Some people spend their lives mastering tunnel flyers like this, add some obstacles and it sweatens the torture of a master at work.
Why don't we have a Touhou Project spinoff yet? That seems like it'd be the one of first things we'd do.
Just sayin'.
We already have a touhou spinoff with the parasprites thing, it was way too hard and the boss was unbeatable.
1105m
holy shit, this is addicting AND fun
FFFFFffff You sticky keys! I'll have to wait till I get home and play on Fedora.
1138! WOO, managed to break 1k...Maybe I can go for 2k...*Continues playing all night*
thanks Equestria Daily, for finally getting me to turn off goddamn useless stickykeys.
750 miles in 10 seconds flat. Well.. not really 10 seconds o3o
That thud sound is so sad....

I AM THE IRON PONY!
Could you really not have just used spacebar?
1229
Thought I was the best ever, but as usual there's always someone better.
OH WELL!
cant say i care for the paticular music remix this game uses, but its still fun.
1330, but now I need to beat the 1542!
Rainbow Dash would be disappointed at your feeble efforts. :>
holding down left mouse button works also, to avoid the sticky key issue.
1137... this is hard.
1071
At least I got more than 1000 XD
PROTIP: Left Mouse Button works
SUPER-PROTIP: Turn off StickKeys anyway!
1049... curses!
On the plus side, I sent the link to a bunch of my co-workers and now they're all hooked on it.
Not bad but could do with some occasional enemies to avoid... #1, a balloon with derpy in it
#2 a tardis spinning randomly
#3 random thunderclouds?
lots of potential for this :D
Takes me back to the days in school where my friends and I would play "The Green Helicopter Game" instead of work
I feel like I need the a source on the background music. Like right now.
807 was my to after about 10 minutes. It's a lot of fun!
Maybe a choice of ponies would be possible? You know, just different character sprites. That would be cool.
Good job!
It is a good thing I was not born a pegasus pony. I wouldn't ever be able to go even one kilometer without crashing.
Is this based on the Canabalt source code? It seems strikingly familiar.
Hey guys, I managed a new one.
1567
I know it's not MUCH of an improvement, but I consider it a success.
1038
Pretty hard
@Anonymous
look up Rainbow Dash Likes Girls on youtube.
also, damn you iron pony!
Dear Celestia in Heaven this is ADDICTIVE!
Awesome job, coder brony
My hand kinda hurts now... But I won't let a pony beat me!
It's very nice and all, but what we really need now is Robot Rarity Attack;)
1251, FUCK MY WRISTS HURT, CURSE YOU ADORABLE PONIES!
The one thing which could make this better is to make Rainbow flap her wings when the shift or mouse is pressed.

Original link is dead, try looking in Google for

Caution: You'll probably end up on swfchan, which is very unsafe for work and not suitable for kids.
