SETH! I thought you died!
That was bucking great!
3rd!
crap..
30 seconds in, I'm stuck. Tap shift for Rarity.
Mid-air applebucking.
So much pony... so little time...
Understandably Upset Parent indeed. That was fun. Perfect thing to eat my time. I can't wait until it's finished.
I found trixie! and also got a secret ending!
pretty hard game. but very fun.
Glitch: When you switch to Rarity while jumping you fall through the ground.
I crashed the game..
One problem, the attack has too much of a delay. Otherwise good work. Fix the attack and it might just be playable.
This game looks bucking awesome! Yay for AJ <3
Lots of potential. And actually has a lot going for it already. I'm liking what I see but I think it needs to be a bit harder. If *I* can last that long on the first try, it's not challenging enough cause I stink at games.
Pretty good, but with the fact that AJ attacks backwards, I naturally tried to face in the opposite direction of the opponent for attack. And lost a lot of lives with this on the boss.
But it's just me, so hope to see the other levels
A challenging game. Hard, but not so hard that you want to stop playing it. I really like the direction the game is going for.
Shame that power-ups can't be kept when entering the boss fight.
The graphics for this are wonderful, and the program seems well behaved. Definately needs a better story to it though. Whoever's in charge of this should do a fanfic writing contest like what they did with that other videogame; fiends from dream valley something or other...
Oops, I crashed it too while switching from Rarity back to AJ while jumping. The scene changed and AJ was stuck.
Thats the coolest pony related game ive ever played.
Can't wait to crash this game!!!
This looks like fun, will try it out.
I'm surprised that several hours after this post I'm still third comment.
I would play the crap out of the full version! This is just so fun and amazing. 5 STARS XD
I gave it a chance, by far the best pony game I've play so far. Fluid graphics, a lot of fun to play, and pretty funny too.
Well that was awesomely amazing! Also, really glad to see Orange Fro Bro doing the music. I was afraid he'd left the fandom.
@Mouse I agree, and I think that's why I like it so much. ^-^
I beat Mrs. Owlbear that was more entertaining than I thought it would be and I can't wait for it to be finished
Very cool.
Lets see the ability to play Rarity.
Trixie Shop.
Dash attack by tapping movement twice and attck.
Can buck in mid-air, hit the boss in the face for heavy damage.
Also Apples restore health and there are six extra at the boss fight.
Minor glitches, but overall the best brony made game yet.
I loved it, but I struggled with hitting Understandably Upset Parent Mr Owlbear.
I didn't make it to any boss as I crashed it (ended up trapped underground). But I did love what was there... beautiful simple graphics, some fun and clever gameplay (loved bucking the trees to get apples for health and weapons), the way enemies could be used against each other, and generally the fact that I could play as AJ or Rarity, two ponies who don't get a lot of game love.
Awesome start... I look forward to it going further.
This is freakin' amazing
Amazing!!!
Great game! the boss was pretty cleverly designed
Okay, this is awesome.
Very clever adding the ability to buck apple trees and then use the apples to regain health.
Also here's something for the more advanced players: If you dash-attack over a pit, you can jump in midair. Just like in the Donkey Kong Country series!
Kongs nor Ponies need obey the laws of physics!
Woohoo. I switched to Rarity and fell through a hole into forever. Still a cool game.
Platforming you say? This is my jam!
Keep up the good work, dood.
Great game, added a little bookmark to it for when I have nothing better to do.
The game....was...AMAZING!!!
At first, I thought this was lame and wasn't trying until i kept dying alot.
Then, i got to the boss....
I want more
This is the best game ever!! And with Applejack!! I think my brain just melted
SETH! YOU'RE ALIVE!
switched to rarity, map glitches, I jump over the end...
Mother of god
best. boss fight. ever.
first of, good to that seth isn't dead, second that game was awsome!
Very nice. Also, DO NOT pause right when you take a hit. The game freaks out.
1. Get red orb from Trixie
2. Go to far left end of map
3. Kneel on stump for a second or two
4. Ponyvania: AppleJack's Quest
BONUS. Right click and press play during the secret for another secret
@BlackWidower
"Attack has delay this is bad horrible game it can't be played"
Ever heard of a game called Castlevania? Y'know how many people love that game?
One last thing, while at full health you can buck apples at enemies and the mother owlbear.
@Phirajina
Oh. My. God.
This game, just got 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat.
Pretty nice design. I'd one of the best pony plataformers yet. I like this community full of surprises.
Made it to the boss. EPIC 0__0
Good game. Needs more Sootaloo
At the beginning I do nothing for a while and then... suddenly, Rarity.
When playing as Rarity, hold the up arrow key and the hold attack. Shield?
Also, where's Trixie?
@Phirajina
holy crap! nice find!
@Phirajina
Thanks! I got the red orb from Trixie and had no clue what to do with it...
Game glitches a lot when you switch characters. The floor disappears somtimes and you just fall, and monsters disppear and appear in random places.
pressing shift makes it switch to rarity and glitches it up a bit. That needs fixing. I didn't know there was a boss fight, I'm going to have to play again
@Hovershy
Go left until you hit a wall, crouch in the corner.
Best way to finish the boss- do a air dash buck right when the boss is jumping towards you... :DDD
@ScootaChicken
Trixie said something about a monetary system. Rarity horn glow = gem finding ability. It wouldn't work as a shield as it doesn't cover her hooves. You will probably need Rarity to obtain upgrades.
Shout "KO" in the Street Fighter announcer voice when you beat the mother bear, It makes every fight better.
A good game. I will love to see it continued.
I love this game, warts and all.
@OneAndAMerf
I visited the corner, just had no clue what to do there. Funny little detail, I have to admit.
I'll have to try to change the characters now, too...
@Brie
I think it'll get harder as more levels are added. That was suposedly the type of difficulty as just after tutorial.
IMO this is the funnest platformer I've played for a while. And yeah, difficulty is something that needs to increase with addition to the game. It's pretty super awesome too, I love OWLBEARS!
The number keys enable the powerups. You can press 2 for full health at any time, and then switch to jumpy power or invincible
Mhmm this is fun! Though I have no clue where Trixie is supposed to be.
The only thing I dislike is the fact that the enemies randomly change their patterns. Say an owlbear is walking from side to side the whole time..I don't expect it to suddenly jump.
@BlackWidower
It's perfectly playable. The delay just means you better have your timing and anticipation down.
Fun stuff. could use a bit more things to interact with but still fun and beautiful.
and thus began the birth of MLP:FIM RPG games
DUN DUN DUN
Oh my god this is awesome
Lot more depth to this than it initially seemed. I liked it.
Awesome demo :D
The bucking feels great and with the sound effects really leaves the impression "that's gotta hurt". I like the delay, too.
I was cursing at the chickens until I found out, I could also jump on the enemies, like in every regular jump'n run (doh').
Boss fight was brilliant.
Finally... Applejack's game, even if it is in test form, and it is GLORIOUS! :D
The boss fight and Trixie were nice touches.
Had a few minor problems with jumping onto platforms at times. Sometimes you had to jump JUST right to get there, especially on some of the taller walls. Might want to look into that.
Still enjoyed it.
Naturally, the sound quality could use some improvement with better background music, but for a test, this was pretty damn good!
the fun has been doubled
i give it a hoof up
@ FG
Search on the left side of the map for a tree with a low, leafy branch. Then jump on it, and you should be able to figure out the location of Trixie's stand.
That was a really fun demo, can't wait to see how good the final product is. So many fun secrets as well.
The best part is the obvious good humour in the game.
Oooh thanks Hovershy!
I do really like the easter eggs and I hope they'll stay in the game..hopefully, there will be even more. >u>
how do you beat the boss owlbear???
@Luce
Just buck the little enemies or the apples bucked down from trees towards the boss. You can also jump up from branches and buck the boss herself in the face. After I found that way of making damage I was finally able to defeat her.
A thing that I don't think have been mentioned: If you press and hold down or up the camera will eventually pan in the direction you're pressing.
Anyway, awesome game. Probably the best Pony game I've played yet :D
@Luce
I stood in the tree and kicked it when it got too close.
Pretty cool, this has lots of potential :D
Needs some control fixes, though :$
aw yeah. this was great.
That was awesome! Can't wait till this one is finished!
SOMEONE CONTACT HASBRO AND GET THESE GUYS ON THEIR FLASH GAMES!
Wow, really nice demo. I really enjoyed it. keep finding more secrets as I read through the comments.
Things to note:
1. You can jump on enemies to defeat them
2. You can kick tree's to release apples from them ( health and can be used as weapons )
3. Kicked enemies that hit other enemies will KO said enemies
4. Double tap left or right on AJ will make her run, hit attack to head butt
5. You can jump ontop of tree's
6. Mother Bar's face area is her weak spot if trying to kick her for probably the easiest way to damage her.
7. Sometimes mother owl bear won't hit you when she jumps on you ( obvious sign of needed tweaks )
Over all though it's awesome. I hope he works on it more.
Also a couple notes:
Trixie's stand is a reference to that annoying snobby girl from charly brown that always calls everyone block head. ( think her name is lucy )
The reference on the left looks like a Castlevania 2: simon's quest reference
that was one of the best games this fandom has ever produced.
The left side is a Castlevania 2: simon's quest reference.

This is where I first heard about it, from AVGN's very first game review. ( link goes directly to the part in the review that talks about it )
I love this game!!! I want more!!!!
that sound that plays when the tornado pops out is also the noise the warp whistles use I believe in Super Mario Bros 3.
Bwahaha, I guessed right about the castlevania reference.
Giant cliff, apparent dead end... what if I hold down for a few seconds?
Did anyone else have the glitch where if you press 'up' you turn into Rarity?
Buy the gem, go all the way left, and hold down on the arrow keys.
I clicked the link, and a virus attacked my computer. Thank God for Norton!
And then I was Rarity.
It's definitely one of the most visually-enjoyable games that have been released so far. Controls seemed to perform well and weren't real laggy. Turned into Rarity at one point. lol
ALL MY MONEY!
Seriously, this is a fantastic game! The controls are smooth, it feels like a DKC game (love those games), and over all, for a free game online, it's just a treat.
It's worth your time, it really is.
I have to say, this is a pretty fun game.
It is possible to jump on the top of the wall on the left using Rarity and horseshoe from Trixie.
That`s really awesome... now take my money all of it!!
if you have the horsehoes there's a glitch when you press both z and x at the same time. if you do it properly you can jump infinitely
this is really fun. the controlls are really smooth ant the animation isnt clunky. the enemys are also well done and the music is nice to the ear. i give this game a thumbs up!
and oh you have to be rarity
I LOVE this, but I haven't found the boss yet. Will keep trying, this is so much fun even though there's obviously some glitches that need touching up. This will be amazing someday
Wow this game is great. Props to the developer!
I liked using rarity more than Applejack
Reminds me of the first level of Actraiser, with the cliffs and tree stumps.
Hot damn, this is good stuff. I'd pay money for the finished product, so keep this up. It brings me right back to my days of Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, and Commander Keen. I can't wait to see what you do if you include other ponies in this.
But I could guess. Here are suggestions based on a single playthrough.
Pinkie pie should have the best jump. Fluttershy should acquire angry animals as protectors. Twi gets horn-powered laser gun. Rarity... um... makes costumes for them because the ground is far too dirty. And Dash gets a "specials" meter for using things like the Buccaneer Blaze and Tactical Rainboom. The ability to switch between them (or select two to tag team like in DK country or ID software's Realms of Chaos) would make this game 20% cooler.
Characters look great and controls are very accurate. The only real problem I had with it is that the dash attack is a little too short for it to be useful. Oh and Applejack looks totally badass on the Start screen
How do you get to the boss? I got the red gem and got to the wall, but it just tornado'd and restared.
Why did it show me as Unknown, its gamax92.
I really hope this game gets finished now. It was very fun and I feel the boss was just the right amount of challenge.
I love this game. I don't understand it, but I still love it.
And Seth, its nice that you haven't died. That would be sad.
Is it normal that with number keys you can activate the effects of all of Trixie's items? lol
I clicked the image then clicked "Intro".
I'm stupid.
dear programmers,
please don't put the controls on z and x... some countries have trouble with that
otherwise great game :)
So many secrets! And none of them were grimdark. Yet I still liked it!
First of all, FUCKING CHICKENS.
Second of all, you can use tree-branches as platforms? And apparently apples too, or something? It took me a lot of experimentation to realize that. The branches need to be visually distinctive from the rest of the trees.
Third, Applejack needs the ability to eat apples for health, and to collect apples so she can kick them in the direction of her enemies (ala Mario's fireballs).
Fourthly, FUCKING CHICKENS. It's like Gears of War 3, the chickens are so Overpowered. XD
Oh, and about Bucking. To my LULZ, I discovered it's possible to stay in the air by kicking, which means a badly timed jump, which would normally result in the loss of a heart thanks to a wandering owlbear/chicken, can be fixed by pressing "X."
Finally, if you run and jump you can clip through obstacles and teleport to the top of a high ledge on occasion. Also, somehow I clipped through the map and fell into oblivion.
(btw, the Owlbear that spawns on top of you when you respawn... dick move, man. Dick move. :P)
Boss was too easy with the horseshoe power-up...otherwise this was awesome! Played it for 2 hours straight lol :/ Completed it for the ???th time already...
/keeps on throwing money on the screen in hopes the creator of this game gets it and uses it to fund further development of this game.
very nice flash game! Boss fight was awesome :)

you don't need to kneel on the stump at the end for the secret, you can kneel on any stump
I found that pressing 'Q' will make Applejack jump too, but as Rarity it makes her jump diagonally towards the left side of the screen;
Does anypony know what Raritys up attack does?
at the title screen press D for Derpy
