Equestria Daily: The Game Hits Android Market, iOS To Follow



PEGASUS PONY, I BEEN SO FLY
GET HYPE LIKE (yay) FLUTTERSHY (SWAG)


Sorry.

For those of you who don't remember, I released a video about four months ago parodying the sheer amount of emails we get in the submit box each day. Not too long after that, a game developer started crafting it into an actual game, which still kind of blows my mind.

Fast forward to right now, and there now exists a playable version of this game for Android devices. Again, it's kind of blowing my mind right now. The game currently expands on the formula of the original flash game (shoot emails to rack up points and win the universe) with some added and refined things such as a little introduction and tutorial for movement and gameplay mechanics. The game is coded in flash, obviously, so you'll want a higher-end Android phone to play this. It runs just fine on my Vibrant variant, which is a single-core 1GHz. It's a little rough around the edges, but with your support I think we can nudge the developer to refine it a bit!

As of now the game has been submitted to Apple for inclusion in the iOS App Store. We'll update you when that becomes available.

For now, download the game here!

Wow, that's awesome

xXFAT PIGXx said...

Need it for my Windows Phone though...

Blethisto said...

Swag's dead. You killed it.

Flutterguy said...

I've been waiting for this.

Dave said...

Accepting and downloading and playing, and...

PoldekPL said...

Not compatible with LG Optimus T... :(

Blethisto said...

@Flutterguy

Sup, bitch! Also been waiting for a big cock in your ass, oh wait, I already know.

Bombedrumbum said...

This is The. Best. Possible. Thing. EVER.

EQUESTRIA DAILY: THE GAME: THE GAME

Marco said...

Noooooo, apparently it's not compatible with my Android phone ;_;

naahdude said...

Oh mother of god, why did I buy an iPhone. This looks fantastic!

On another note, poor Cereal. Guy makes the best posts, and yet he gets the bulk of the trolling.

Dave said...

Ehh, good for a laugh. Interesting start, to say the least. HTC Raider plays it just fine, but aiming is a bitch, and turning around and firing a gun feels rather awkward. Moving and jumping is also annoying, as if I move after jumping too quickly I barely hop and often fall in a ditch.

Agile Wings said...

Totally getting this on iPhone if it all goes through ok with Apple, though if not *shakes fist in Apple's general direction*

DerpGarde said...

That's hilarious, I'd totally download that for the heck of it.

ConfusedBrony said...

Waitin on apple now.

Celestia said...

A use for my iphone? hoorah.

FreezingShock said...

Well, I don't own an iPhone or Android, so I'm going to have to skip it. That Pony Swag mix is pretty awesome, though.

Derpestia said...

So it's a game about how you basically ignore most of the email you get.

Mister Twister said...

I only play REAL games on REAL consoles, while drinking black tea and eating brownies.

The Tree of Mongoose said...

@Blethisto
We love you too bro.

R10t Pol1ce said...

Is Seth a playable character!??!!?

The Tree of Mongoose said...

And what else? Hmm.... About this post... Oh yeah.
WHAAAAAAAT.

Naahdude said...

@R10t Pol1ce

Supposedly that's in the works.
But why would you want to when you can pretend to be (as the merciless god will never allow you to become) the world's most delicious breakfast that also doubles as an amateur crazy per- er, entrepreneur?

RustlyJim said...

@xXFAT PIGXx

At least we have Pony Town Zombie Massacre with Sparkles Fantastic

FriendlyFireFox said...

Am I the only one who thinks that this game is pretty bad?

Rafasde said...

Best. Description. Ever.

Beta-Carotene said...

Shows promise, but they have got to get those controls polished. Difficult as hell to control.

Bombedrumbum said...

I've gotta admit, the final boss took me several tries to beat :D

PennyGreeny said...

It looks...okay. Controls are shitty and jittery, and it feels unpolished.

Flutterguy said...

@Blethisto And a good day to you, sir!

IkkouSoryu said...

No offense, but original was crappy and boring.

TGPFluttershy said...

Apple, you have denied me of my ponies before. Do not deny me of this!

DE Fluttershy said...

yay pont swag ft maros

and CANT BUCKING WAIT FOR APPLE ISO

DJ D-Dog said...

I have Windows Phone... God Dammit

TheRike42 said...

Oh god. Really didn't see that one coming.

Destroyer said...

Want it need it and must have it! But I has iPod

Truehearted said...

Cereal has swag...

Cereal's company is gaining cred...

???

Ponies win

Skyshadow said...

Y U NOT COMPATIBLE?

Maquabra said...

So... That's what I can't enjoy because I couldn't care less about buying a smartphone? I can live with that. Definitely.
Another year with an ancient phone and more cash for wunderbAAAAr audio equipment.

Golden Circle said...

This app is incompatible with your Optus Samsung GT-S5570.

:-(

LS Ramos said...

that's jusr great. I took my tablet out to go read papers someplace pleasant and I end up playing this.

John said...

Aww, it's unavailable for my phone :(.

Octavia said...

Ahhh, sigh. If only I had an Android phone. Still, pretty rockin'! Though it seems incompatible with many phones at this time. lol

Beta-Carotene said...

Actually I'm pretty perplexed as to why this isn't online well. I admit I'm not a master of flash, but one of the big ideas of flash is to be portable pretty much everywhere. Why not just host this on a website somewhere and give it some keyboard controls?

FriendlyFireFox said...

If you guys can't play it on your phone, you could just play the original flash version.

And when you're done with it, come back here and tell us how dissapointed you are.

gnwaa said...

Error: couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.
Shucks.

Naahdude said...

@Beta-Carotene
It's already on dA. Read the OP again.

WeaponFanfic said...

Works on my Galaxy Nexus but the controls could be more responsive. That's what's really stopping me from enjoying this one. I do like the graphical look, though, and the concept of turning it into a platformer is decent enough. Keep at it and it should hopefully improve over time.

Sunset Sprinkles said...

Better work for 3G iPod...

TuxRug said...

Yay! I just got an Android. Perfect timing!

GamerBrony said...

Y U NO LG Optimus Compatible!

Omega Knuckles said...

It'd be nice if someone would put this on a cydia source whilst we wait for apple (I'm aware not everyone has a jailbroken iOs device, yes)

XyroTR1 said...

This is pretty damn awesome...! Sadly, it's not helping my beloved HTC G2 hide its age.

Noah35757 said...

Can't wait for an Apple version. :3

Wicked_Rainbow said...

ill put it at mah Galaxy Y =D

Lupon said...

Umm, if they're submitting it to Apple they'd better have ported it over to Objective-C or something. Flash doesn't run on iOS devices, remember?
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure my dual-core G2x will run this. I'll try it when I get home.

beyondxhorizons said...

When I first saw this post, I thought, "HOLYFUCKFALLOUTEQUESTRIAISAGAME."

Then... Wait... No.
