Pony Platformer Game: Winter Update

I don't know what it is about Trixie, but seeing her randomly on top of this tree giving out powerups was amazing. 

The Pony Platforming Game has had a whole bunch of neat additions added.  For those that missed it the first time, be prepared for one of the more impressive FiM fan games out there.  For those that played it before, have some snow and Trixie!

Check out the game here.

And the ponychan thread here.

More pony games! More I say!

Steve Jobs said...

I'm actually interested in some of these games, including My Little Investigations.
And also

Shantara said...

I remember spending hours on this game last time. The animation still looks amazingly smooth. Let a great hunt for secrets begin again!

Ten said...

Oo games, will give this a play later.

Shantara said...

I forgot to add that newscaster Trixie is very definitely the best Trixie. She even has glasses. Ponies with such amounts of cuteness should be classified as WMD.

Maquabra said...

Human in Equestria? Bollocs!

Firmly_Grasp_It said...

Unrelated: We're closing in on 100 million hits! Good job, everyone! Here's to the best fandom on the web!

Kizi said...

Loved the earlier game, and this one as well! Too bad they are rather easy. Oh, well.

WizardWannabe said...

Haha, that was really well done, some great animation and Newscaster Trixie was amusing.

Harwick said...

Sweet! But who was the cause of the hate and anger? Could Discord be showing up in later levels?

Cátsy said...

there has to be some secret I'm missing.... last one had a fun easter egg xD

this is going to be one of the best non-fighting pony games this year! hope we see a full game soon

Azkhare said...

Wooohoooo, I saved Santa Claws!

Shantara said...

@Cátsy
There's a space invader flying to the left from Trixie's shop.

Cátsy said...

lol! found one xD get the horseshoe and jump far left! xD and fight off the invader!

Cátsy said...

wow a whole mess of invaders and black clouds

Cátsy said...

whole new route if you fly right!

Shantara said...

There are actually 4 invaders: 1 near Trixie and a group of 3 near the start of the level. You can get to them using repeated charge-jump with reindeer (he doesn't fall down, unlike AJ).

Dantes_Grill said...

SPOILER!!!: It looked like Santa took a dump when he pulled up Applejacks gift XD

Cátsy said...

dang finally made the jump on Rudolph to black cloud but you just fall through it =/ guess there really isn't much this time around xD still neat though

KichaaSDL said...

Gah, I love this game so much!

Cátsy said...

@Shantara lol I just accidentally the whole mountain at the start xD (broke through it and can't get out lol!)

Also if you stand at the start where you save Rudolph you start losing health =/

XTUX345 said...

Interesting...I'll have to give this new version a review on Equestria Gaming!

Legeden said...

@Shantara

Have to mention that News button doesn't cost you anything and you can still get an upgrade after watching Trixie ... win win

Tempest Peak said...

If this is anywhere near as good as Story of the Banks, I'll be happy.

KTS said...

The music reminds me of Mario. And Santa's sleigh gets destroyed.

Tempest Peak said...

Oops, that was meant to say Blanks.

melodiousgames said...

I remember playing this way back, completely forgot that there was another platformer project out there. Well, there is room enough for all of our projects, I'll just have to speed up ours to get a demo out earlier.

Cátsy said...

if you want a different ending don't pick Rudolph out the snow =x I still haven't found any Derpy yet though =/

T-God said...

AHA! found derpy!!!
amazing game btw

ChaosDX1 said...

Trixie? Easter Eggs? Dang I missed everything. All I did was kick a spiritual being in the face. (And I loved it!)

Kyronea said...

Lulz, why is her hat pink indeed.

Fun stuff. I can't wait to see more from these people. "Wait till Ah tell everypony Ah beat a windigo all on mah own!"

Stargazer said...

Well that was absolutely awesome. Some seriously cool stuff.

Freefox said...

That`s simply wonderful!, the animation is really cool!

Bastoff said...

Loved it. It looks really smooth and charming. Now, if only I was better at playing platformers with a keyboard...

Stray said...

"Hey wait a minute why's my hat pink?"

I laughed pretty hard at that.

Sethisto said...

I LOVE TRIXIE THE SHOPKEEPER SO MUCH

Jake said...

Platform gaming seems to be the perfect genre for Friendship is Magic pony games. Man, what I would give for a beat-em-up style game on the DS. Plot: on an otherwise peaceful day in Ponyville, Discord (somehow) returns (insert semi-plausible plot device here) and steals the elements of harmony once more. The Mane Six have to fight their way through six weird worlds created by Discord. Once they recover all of the elements, they show up at his domain for a final showdown. Somebody get Retro Studios on this.

Nightmare Moon said...

This is pretty good, though for some reason, when I pick Rudolph and jump, I sometimes get damaged.

Also, the fact that Rudy can battle Windigos is pretty hilarious in itself.

Shantara said...

Bucking Windigoes... LIKE A BAWSS!

New comments skin now for desktop version too? Looks cool. Also, reply button overlaps with admin hat image.

Shantara said...

Ignore last part of my comment, it's already fixed.

Nykkes64 said...

Nice platforming, peculiar settings, power upgrades, and AppleJack becoming the primary protagonist was an instant well-done game that has delighted us bronies for a matter of time. feels like a downloadable game for Nintendo exclusive. 5/5 "Masterful"

Mike said...

...I've been waiting for this. Glad it's finally here

Mike said...

lol, ruby nose laser. You can make lasers with aluminum oxide, btw.

Mr Nutt said...

Am I the only one who can't move or something?

Mr Nutt said...

@Mr Nutt Strange, it works in Firefox but not Chrome.

melodiousgames said...

@Mr Nutt

Works in Chrome for me, just make sure that your last click was inside the frame.

Nightmare Moon said...

@melodiousgames

This, I do that sometimes with games like that until I click inside of the frame and then it works just fine.

Bellum_Civille said...

My computer can't take the game... I am sad

Enterprize said...

Dat Goldenrod City-inspired music

sirhim11 said...

I'm loiking this up on my nook, so I have no control keys. Darn.

Octavia said...

Wow, I think I may have somehow missed this game the first time around. either that or my memory is fading. Either way, it looks great. Actually one of the best-looking I've seen yet I think. Quite professional. I also love the Trixie at the top of the tree. She looks so happy up there. Maybe it's because it's a pine and she has ample amounts of pinecones to snack on. ;)

EonMaster said...

Only issue I have is that the Wendigo feels too easy. Only part I had any difficulty with is the gaps before the Wendigo, and only because the jump item doesn't seem to work at that scene for some reason.

Mr Nutt said...

@Nightmare Moon
@melodiousgames
I've tried this and it still didn't work.

Stargazer said...

Game seems to be bugging out on me. it locks up for a second or two alot and then the stage disappears on me...

herpyderpy said...

Oooo this awesome game got updated? Time to go buck some baddies!

Nightmare Moon said...

@Mr Nutt

Unfortunately I can't help you then as it seemed to work for me, though I'm using Firefox and not Chrome.

Sgt Byrd said...

Just played, that was really fun. Less glitches than the previous demo.

Rudolph laser fighter against space invaders is awesome, that could be its own game.

The boss battle was fun, but I think the bear battle from the previous game was more enjoyable.

Mike said...

@Mr Nutt
@Stargazer
@Sgt Byrd

lol, we're all beta-testing again.

MizuTakishima said...

It won't work for me, for some reason ; n ;

Like everything loads just fine, but when I try to move, buck, etc, I just stand there even though I'm hitting the right keys

Gummy said...

By celestia's great beard that was so awesome! That right there is some damn fine game work.
This fandom never ceases to amaze me.

Stargazer said...

@MizuTakishima

Try clicking on the actual flash window. IF you clicked outside of the window it acts like it would on any internet website...

Shantara said...

FYI: the health display gets bugged if you buy the health powerup from Trixie's shop when your HP is not full (1/3 or 2/3 hearts).

MizuTakishima said...

@Stargazer I tried that already though @_@

NakedKitten said...

I'm having the same problem MizuTakishima is having, but when I click inside the window of the game, it still doesn't work.

And Idk if troll emoticons work on Equestria Daily...
:sad:

MlpFox said...

i havent herd anything about My Little Investigations in awhile can somepony give me info
i was looking forward to that game

Shiranai said...

Some of the collision detection seems a bit offish at times, but definitely one of the more fun pony flash games out there. I'd love to see this become a full fledged, multilevel game.

XTUX345 said...

Allright, I gave this game a review on Equestria Gaming. You can check out the review at http://www.equestriagaming.com/2012/01/reviewpony-platforming-project-holiday.html

Nimbus the Unicorn said...

Somepony point me in the direction of that EPIC BOSS THEME!

IkkouSoryu said...

This game still has the same standing animation for midair kick. I hope it'll be fixed later.

But the game is AWESOME.

RainbowLeader 510 said...

-sigh-, i can only hope that when the game is finished, the apple loading bar will load the WHOLE way to the top and let me into the game.
So jelly of you bronys who get to play it now.

Sgt Byrd said...

@RainbowLeader 510

How long did you wait? Mine stalled for about a minute before continuing and being fine.

Nova25 said...

The game is VERY buggy for me, for some reasons ?

Every few seconds (15-30), it's gonna lag/slowdown horribly for 3-4 seconds... then can random decide that the character is standing in an empty blue background with snow and nothing else.

Nimbus the Unicorn said...

Did anypony else notice they updated the game? Sneaky programmers.

Sgt Byrd said...

@Nova25

There's now a reduced snow option for weaker computers.

The new update adds a new level that's easier to fly right over as rudolph.
