Rainbow Cloud Attack Game For Android

Finally an Android game! Rainbow Dash is at it again with more cloud destroying hijinks.  For the most part, it seems really well made.  Dash's movements are much smoother than some of the other cloud breaking games out there.  The only issue I had with it was an ad in the corner of the screen that blocks the score bar.  That's inevitable on Android though!

Point your phones  here to pick it up!

Celestia said...

Bombedrumbum said...

Just finished downloading. It. Is. AWESOME

Discord said...

I must say you pony's technology can be quite entertaining.

cursormortis said...

Why is it always Rainbow Dash? I mean, I'm happy to get pony-related apps, but why RD?

It could use a sensitivity setting for when using tilt for input, and I can't say much about the graphics since my phone's screen is too small to make much out. There's no sound, either (or else my phone isn't playing it). Overall, not a bad game.

Bombedrumbum said...

Aside from the ad, this game is definitely the best pony app on the android market. The ads are inevitable, so ill just focus on the positives. Great gameplay, smooth controls, overall awesomeness. I dont usually use this meme, but it is about 20% cooler than any other pony app out there

I broke my old nokia which I depended on to deliver my dose of pony throughout the workday, so being a dedicated brony I decided to buy my first android phone at considerable expense so I could continue my daily pony. How am I feeling right now? JUSTIFIED!

Bombedrumbum said...

Loving the time of the day change option

BRONIES

Y U NO MAKE THINGS FOR BLACKBERRIES

Wow, finally something I knew about well before EQD! I've had this on my phone for the last week or so, at least shortly after it came out since I search "My Little Pony" in the market about once a week. This game has been my entertainment at work this past week (since someone went and got themselves fired and I've had to spend at least a couple hours working alone) and I have to say it's simple yet fun. I tried the default touch control but in the end opted for the "joystick" control option and haven't even wanted to try the tilt option. The author of this app also made a Rainbow Dash live wallpaper that has her continuously attacking clouds that is pretty cool too. I highly recommend both. As for the question from @cursormortis RD is the easiest pony to make games with I guess. I'm sure someday we'll get some kind of Fluttershy animal care game or a Twilight Sparkle... Ebook reader? As we get more Bronies with mad programing skeelz working on this stuff I'm sure we'll see more pony variety. My personal request right now though would be something like and optional sprite swap to Derpy delivering mail. XD

adddemon said...

pony stuff for sale? not from hashbro? hmm, i could see this being an issue later on

richardulz said...

:( not compatible with phone, WHY MUST THEY DO THAT?!?! i don't care if it makes my phone lag like crazy, i just wanna see if it will work! and if not, then i will be fine if it is truly incompatible.

Koji said...

Psst... The app is free... Just because it's on the android store doesn't mean it costs money...

Samuel7897 said...

Hooray finally an android pony game :D The apps on the market are slowly increasing!!!!

RickyB said...

Nyeh. I've got an android phone, but it's an HTC Wildfire, and is apparently incompatible according to the market. D:

Koji said...

Some day this game will be a nice little game... Right now, as denoted by version .2, it's more or less just a demo of what's to come. As far as I can tell there is no way to lose, no music/sound, and is way too easy to chain combos even for a kids game.

That said, it's a great start with really well done animations.

Talk said...

I downloaded this about an hour ago. It's an awesome game and I'm already addicted as hell!

Darkdrium said...

It works on HTC Wildfire S and it's very nice looking.
It's also very small and doesn't take a lot of memory so leaving it on storage is ok. But if you add music (and thus the space requirements get bigger) can you please allow a move to SD (If it's possible.) The Wildfire S doesn't have lots of storage space and I'd like to keep this nice game on.

Hellkipz said...

this game is beautifully programmed.

Blightmare said...

Only for android? Bah. Guess I'll never get to play this. <_<

Aeolus said...

This app is great! I can't wait to see what they're going t update it with! I'm hoping for a way to charge up for a sonic rainboom. The biggest thing I think they need to do is zoom in some. I felt we were given way too much space, and made It easy to dodge clouds. (also, as much as I liked the trailing rainbow, it got on my nerves when it was super long)

YES! YES!

"The only issue I had with it was an ad in the corner of the screen that blocks the score bar. That's inevitable on Android though!"

Excuse me Seth, but something like that would be purely the app developer's fault, nothing to do with Android at all. You talk like Android has mandatory ads or something. ಠ_ಠ

Unknown said...

Cons - no sound no challenge.
Pros - pony, awesome fps, decent graphics.
I'm running a samsung galaxy s ii, so I don't know about low end devices, but this animated beautifully for me. Good start!

Vopogon said...

My EVO Runs this beautifully.

God I love my phone....

Godort said...

It runs great on my Xoom tablet. But the game has no challenge.

Darkfoxx said...

Adds are all BUT inevitable on Android. There's addblocker for android.

For all Iphone users who are sad this is only for android... you can run android OS on an I-phone no problem.

Can't run apple OS on android phones, but... who'd want to? XD

Darkfoxx said...

@Darkfoxx

adblocker proggie is called AdFree, unknown if it requires your phone to be jailbroken, mine is in any case.

Chaoyll said...

This game has been out for ages. o.O

Howl said...

Aww, andriod? i want stuff for my pc

Waveguider said...

@Darkfoxx
Well, people who know the iOS is superior to Android's OS, I guess.

Lag-y said...

The only downside is there ain't no sound but its a beta so it will be better

Arcane Scroll said...

It is a little too easy, but that could be fixed with an update. Maybe put the Shadowbolts in there to fly toward you?

Runs perfectly on my Sensation and since I have a custom ROM, no ads :)

PokeBrony said...

Ive got this. It is epic. That is all I can say

Arcane Scroll said...

@Waveguider
So superior that the "new, greatest feature" is a notification system that Android has had for years LOL

Anyway, last I'll post on that, peace and love y'all.

James Corck said...

Damnit! If only I could download the Android OS for my phone ;_;

Darkfoxx said...

@Waveguider

No Rainbow Dash game on Apple OS, how exactly is that superior? :3

(just kidding, so you know... long as your phone works under it's OS, it's a good OS IMHO. Brand wars are silly.)

Cloudstream said...

Finally something for Android!
And it's awesome.
FUCK YEAH.

DarkStarZN said...

SIgh....

THis is getting frustrating. Yet another Pony app that doesn't work on the HTC Wildfire.

Could somepony PLEASE start making apps compatible across the entire Android range of smartphones?

Namely the HTC Wildfire, please?

LamperLamper said...

Can someone please host the file up on mediafire? I don't have internet access on my android.

Feral said...

I guess the only way to install in the "uncompatible" phones is to try to override the Market by installing the .apk manually. Sometimes the app actually *does* work, but it's either sub-optimal or uses a different resolution.

Mine is a Galaxy 5, and it shows as "not compatible" through the Android Market. I really would like to try with the .apk itself.

NickBeat88 said...

I suddenly have the need to buy an Android...

HydraSkillz said...

@DonSerrot Maybe I will add a character selection option ;).

Feral said...

I'm trying to get the APK through an emulator override... let's see...

But it's weird... Again other app in the Market that shows my Galaxy 5 as "not compatible". I'll go for the direct .apk install, then (if I even manage to get the apk...)

HydraSkillz said...

@LamperLamper I put a link to the .apk download on the app page :).

gloamglozer said...

@HydraSkillz: where is it exactly? I can't see any direct link to it on there. Also, I made a kind of spin-off comic thing inspired by Epic Cupcake Time about your app.

HydraSkillz said...

@gloamglozer It's on the app page, it may take some time to show the changes.

Feral said...

Installed in my Samsung Galaxy 5, Froyo 2.2, through the apk directly.

Works like a charm :D

Beezii said...

Its always that either ios users or andriod users that get left out.

PhysicallyPossible said...

had to take my phone to get it reset and they gave me a brand new one, this was the first thing i downloaded and it was epic

pmcollectorboy said...

I can't wait for music and tilt functionality. It's also way too easy.

Now if only someone would make pony versions of Canabalt and Nanaca Crash.

Ansis Māliņš said...

It displays ads during game play. 0/10

Synyk said...

What the fuck iOS?!

broniesinarms said...

this game is ace, but not that hard. and the ads do spoil things a bit, but theyre not game breaking.

8/10

android bronies-1, Ios bronies-50

Canadian said...

Running 1.5 how can I install this on my phone?

SirTapTap said...

The ad blocking the score bar is not inevitable it's a user experience issue, it's entirely possible to arrange for a margin which prevents any of the game area from appearing under the ads

Saylisk said...

It needs to be on IPHONE!!!!!

Applejack85 said...

So totally checking this out later, should be a great time killer while at work ^^;

DonSerrot said...

@HydraSkillz Oh! A character select would be pretty cool. Then you could get into all sorts of fun stuff like get X amount of points in a single play session to unlock Y character or something like that.

Also just a side note, on the app page you say if we have suggestions to email them to you, but unless I'm ubber missing something I couldn't find an email anywhere to send the suggestions. I guess you saw my suggestion on here though so that works too! XD

Cátsy said...

hey any good Brony know where I can find the flash game for the Rainbow Dash one with the breaking rocks and jumping cliffs one? I can't find it anymore! T-T

vsbloom said...

lol i made my dad download this app (through much resistance from him)
