Dash Off!

It's PONY GAME TIME!

Because E3 is boring me right now with it's lack of FiM/Forgotten Realms CRPG crossovers.

This is a neat little game, sort of an apple collecting platforming thing.

Play it here!

I still need the pony fighting game
Can't wait to kick ass as fluttershy.

Reminds me of the Luna Game, remind me never to play that again.

My first run: 140 apples. :D

My run: 139 apples!

Cute! First run: 131 apples. Also, huge props to the creator for doing chiptune versions of all the show's songs!

Xanilus said...

That was decent. The controls could use some adjusting, but overall I was entertained. (160 total. 5a in 10s. I hit too many baked bads.)

Now give this time to turn into a FPS.

I notice it's a bit too jittery, though it could be my computer. I think this has a lot of potential since it's not your usual jump&run platformer.

8 bit tunes made this one brony (not a game designer): http://www.youtube.com/user/RainbowCrash88

Second run, 206!

Asgard314 said...

155 apples first run!

I'm with Xanilus on this. The controls were a little stiff and took some getting used to, but I got 161 on my first run.

Let's see how much I smoke that by on my second run.

The game looks great, bit I found the controls really awkward.

Reasonably fun, but the controls are terrible. And you go through apples a lot.

First run: 162. Fun game, although it would've been nice if you could move while falling down. Dash falls like a rock when you let go of the fly button.

TalkAcanthi said...

I was expecting something like Robot Unicorn Attack, but this one was a lot more relaxing than that. The controls were a little off, but it was Rainbow Dash! How much more awesome can you get?

Skylark Torch said...

Oh man. Now my diabolical scheme to download the 8-bit songs, convert them to mp3, and tag them with their respective images is ruined.... or not. Does anyone want the 8bit sounds played in this game? I have the mp3 files...

Got 198 on my first run. I found plenty of bugs (besides the terrible controls).

-Most of the time it's really difficult to go under raised ground (I stalled too much trying to reach Twilight in a terrible spot)
-Derpy does not respond most of the time.
-A lot of apples are layered with the bad kind (dunno if this was intentional or not).

139 apples. Cool for burning five minutes again. I'm hoping only being able to fly right is part of the challenge of the game and not an oversight!!

Anonymous said...

A lot of it feels random, the way everything is set up.

And the fact that I can't fly straight up is a little disorienting.

My favorite bug, though, is how any amount of baked bads can be overcome with friendship.
(i.e. nothing happens if you grab a baked bad under the influence of friendship, grabbing friendship will nullify the baked bad, and if you grab a baked bad in the middle of a friendship boost, the baked bad will run out at the same time as the friendship.)



STILL FUN AND AWESOME

Derpy drops muffin! And when you eats, Derpe derps:) That's all respond.

+ Music was thoroughly covered
- Why can't I fly backwards?
- Shouldn't Applejack be the one collecting apples?
- Didn't hold my interest for long

My only problem is moving forward after you land from a jump. I usually hold the right button the entire time, but sfter flying, I have to let go, and press it again. Took a lot of time from my run. Other than that, once you get used to the controlls, it's pretty fun. Good for a wasted 5-10 minutes.

Skylark Torch said...

I got 151 my first time through.

Jacen said...

Great game with a great concept with only a few problems.
1. When you land and are pressing right you should continue running without having to press right again.
2. You should be able to walk under the raised ground since that is what it looks like we should be able to do.
3. Change the name of the bad cupcakes to baked bads.
4. Throw in some sort of algorithm that makes it impossible for items to stack.

@Jacen ok.. will do tomorrow:P

Well that was just terrible. If it weren't for ponies, this game would have no redeeming features at all.

I just got 135 Apples but the comment: "That is 5 apples in 10 Seconds Flat!" Made my day.

*deep breath*

its not very good, the controls are really clunky, collision detection is too small, you can only fly at 45 degrees, you fall straight down when you stop flying, you sometimes have to repress right to move when you land, baked bads can spawn on top of apples or in a place unavoidable, your score boils down to nothing but luck, and it makes no sense how the best flier in equestria can only fly a few feet without having to rest.

or, you know. what ever you want to do is fine...

^ I read: "derp breath". lol

Chessie2003 said...

This game needs some work, but it looks promising!

Shiron said...

I got 137 apples^^ I love this game

Anonymous said...

138 Apples on my first run, Damn you Derpy, dropping all those baked bads at me >=)

Kick-flank music btw =D

Anonymous said...

so many people are using the Desktop pony App sprites!

Atlas said...

Nice game! Good way to kill five minutes. I got 146 apples.

MasterDufel said...

The controls are a bit clunky, but not a bad way to spend a few minutes.

Thattagen said...

Ever since playing I Wanna Be the Guy (I beat it on hard!), I've been wary of apple trees.

But apparently the apples DON'T kill you? What's up with that? Totally unnatural. I should give this game a shot...

Vythe said...

Controls are clunky, cant fly left, but overall, good game. I got 150 in my first try

Doc Steedly said...

169 apples first run . . quirky game but i had fun n.n thank you for the hard work here.

Star Gazer said...

Cute over all design, first run I snagged 151 apples.

Be neat when more complicated 2d games start popping out. Could have lots of potential!

Rainbow Dash said...

1st run; 149, apparently 5 apples in 10 seconds flat.

2nd run; 173.

Brony games never cease to amaze me.

Anonymous said...

1st run, 165 apples. That's 6 apples in 10 seconds flat! SO. AWESOME!!!!

I know the game is buggy/clunky as hell, but I find it REALLY hard to care too much about the flaws when I'm controlling a Dashie sprite to all of RainbowCrash88's tunes...over 200 apples, here I come!!!

This game gets 12/10 (20% cooler than perfect), based solely on the fact it's the best game with Rainbow Dash as a sprite released so far, imo.

Who cares about an RPG? HALO 4 IS COMING OUT!!! FANFIC WRITERS, IT IS TIME TO STOP FOALING AROUND! WE MUST GREAT THIS GREAT NEWS WITH A SURGE OF HALO AND PONY!!! HAIL TO THE SPARTAN PONIES!!!

Anonymous said...

Lets get critical shall we?
+ Nice sprites and level design
+ good music
- Characters can glitch into strange spots like hovering over water or land pillars.
- Not really that challenging, no enemies (well derpy is just confused D:)
- Controls are awkward. Y U NO let me turn around D:
- There seems to be no pressure to do anything. RD seems to just be taking a lazy walk when she's not flying- if she's in a rush to collect apples, she should be running!
+ 5 apples in 10 seconds flat. For that I'm not mad.

Overall rating: 4/10, ok game just needs some tweaking in fixing bugs and stuff.

Shut the fuck up about Halo and play this awesome game about what really matters: PONIES.

Anonymous said...

Didn't like it, jittery, slow, annoying... I've played better MLP;FiM games.

Calico said...

@Thattagen
Haha, I panicked when I saw the tree, and it took me a second to realize that I was having an "I Wanna Be the Guy" flashback. Oh the memories...

Naglfar said...

167 apples on my first run. I guess I can be proud of that.

Firleycat said...

Not a bad game, but the controls were a bit too stiff to make it really enjoyable. Though you do win back points for having the 8-bit remixes as the soundtrack. I know I'm nit picking now but you could try to have a bit more variety in the level instead of just higher ground, tree and river over and over again.

Anonymous said...

208 apples on second attempt and with the new controls. Fun, but makes me wish for a more substantial 2D platformer.

Anonymous said...

Managed to hit 269 with the control revision. Very cool compared to what's on the official site.

X_GrandMoff_X said...

NEW RECORD

Your score is: 278 apples total.
That's 9 apples in 10 seconds flat!

Anonymous said...

I got 203 apples. :)

While crossing the water pit, I saw Pinkie bouncing happily in midair. Spent ten seconds trying to figure it out. She's just being Pinkie Pie. XD

And I love the music. So cute! :D
Would be much better if they had all the MLP songs.
