Game: Where's Derpy?


I for one am perfectly fine with Derpy staying our little "Wheres Waldo" style shoutout in the future!  It just...works.

This game is completely dedicated to that.  Find Derpy, and her three muffins, in each image.   It's a pretty simple concept, but Derpy is a pretty simple pony.

Click the image for the game!

Just as long as the thing doesn't go K-Fee commercial on me, I'll have a look.

Gluttonous Fruitcakes said...

I really should start working on my homework...

Ponies now, work later.

Danilo & co. said...

FOURTH!!...

What am I doing with my life?...

Also, awesome game!

Harwick said...

I got through the whole game, found all of the muffins and had all of the achievements except I didn't go back to find every instance of Lyra. I'll have to come back for that one.

Click Clack said...

Got it. All the muffins, all the achievements, everything.

Rafasde said...

Finally, all of the achievements. That's a pretty cool game, I must say! I really liked that "Find Lyra" extra-challenge!

pixelkitties said...

Oh gosh! The sound effects make me smile every time!

Pegasus Rescue Brigade said...

In the one scene, there are actually two Lyras, but only the obvious one is clickable. There's another, well hidden one, since background ponies tend to appear in a scene more than once.

Axle Fox said...

Yes! A million muffins yes! :D

Roland 'Jim' Lowery said...

Haha, that's just the best thing.

Luxin_Nocte said...

this game is so adorable :D

LCDRformat said...

I beat it, got all the achievments

Yellow 13 said...

All achievements get!

Fun game, even though I did try and click on a couple Lyra clones that didn't count.

Damashep said...

Got all muffins, Derpy, and Lyra. Also destroyed town hall

MachinimistLuke said...

All Achievements; Get!

Nathan Pattinson said...

I lost it at level 13.

vulpixel said...

AWESOME!

Ok, question for everyone, is that tan pony in the first level the same one tanning in the latest episode?

FreezingShock said...

Those sound effects were incredibly annoying. Also, the difficulty didn't really scale; level 14 was one of the easiest ones. It was a fun little way to spend a few minutes, though.

WeaponFanfic said...

Pretty nice game. I missed out on two achievements but I was playing this at work. I'll wait until I get home to get them all.

Space said...

Cannot find... that last muffin... in the last level... 'tis driving me nuts.

Dark Qiviut said...

Just finished playing it. An awesome game! :D

MadDoctorD said...

Ooooh Oohh! I found Lyras! all of them!

ZeroG said...

so I got all the achivments do I get a muffin?

Lee said...

This is great! Always wondered whether somepony would make it! And the menu music is awesome, too!

Roland 'Jim' Lowery said...

@ZeroG
Everybody gets a muffin! :D

Lost said...

Space... check to the right of the town hall... one blends in with the roof.... one could get mighty soggy.... the last lifted upon a structure of four legs....

Applejack sure is the best. said...

Yea, finally! All the achievements. And all Lyra ;)

Space said...

The roof blender. That was the one. Thanks!

...And now that I've seen it I don't know how I managed to miss it. :P

Amby said...

All the Derpys, all the muffins, all the Lyras, town hall is destroyed. Hurrah!

Pikari said...

Very fun game; I enjoyed finding everything and completing all of the achievements. I also liked the dynamic transition of the music between the level select and an actual level; that was a nice little touch. I do have a few suggestions... if it's alright with you...

Try to get a few more voice samples for your game, and mix things up a bit. I'd say keep the squee for menu selections, and find different voice clips for Lyra. As much as I love hearing Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, it can get a little old hearing the exact same lines over and over again.

Add a "quit" or "give up" button during a level, in case a user wants to... well, quit or give up. Of course, any characters or muffins found wouldn't count. If space is a concern, perhaps the sound on/off option could be moved to the main menu and level select screens, and it would be replaced by the other button during a level.

If it's possible, see if you can make muffins appear in random locations instead of the same three places. That is, come up with maybe six possible spots for a muffin to show up in each level, and randomly select three of them when the user chooses a level. To compensate for the added difficulty, the timer could be increased to 30 seconds. (If this idea goes against the spirit of hidden object games, then you don't have to.)

Shadow Heart said...

@Sethisto

Ohhhh Seth, mind to explain where my comment disappeared to?

And where is my free muffin?!

GamemasterTom said...

Yeah! All the achievements!

BEST GAME EVER!!

Mike said...

Here's where my OCD of remembering all the places Derpy has ever appeared finally pays off!

ninonybox said...

I remembered most of them, I also got all the achivments! And all within 20 minutes.

Mike said...

@Mike
YEAH! completed in <10 minutes with all acheivements!!

...I need a new hobby...

pepperpunk said...

@Pikari

Great feedback, a lot of it was stuff I'd considered but left out due to time/ difficulty constraints. If I do a 2.0 version at the end of season 3 (which I *really* hope will not be the end of the show!) it'll include a lot of these things, as well as a whole ton of extra animation, sound effects and achievements. :)

BakedBad said...

Found Derpy and at least two muffins on the first try for each level. All achievements accomplished.

_OJ_ said...

@Mike

Yes, you really do need a new hobby.

_OJ_ said...

Yet more shitty material pumped out in honor of a shitty "character".

Chris said...

@_OJ_

If you're going to have that attitude then you can just gtfo, we don't need people like you here.

_OJ_ said...

@Chris

Not my fault the fanbase has the collective IQ of 30.

darkconsoles said...

Adorable game. Squee

Blayze Kohime said...

Wheeeeeere's Derpy?

HERE I AM!!

*barrel rolls into the town hall*

the-matthew said...

It took me ages to find the final muffin in the last level. I was starting to think there wasn't one and it was a wind-up, but after around seven or eight attempts I spotted it.

A great way to waste quarter of an hour or so.

_OJ_ said...

@the-matthew

I can think of tons of other ways to kill 15 minutes other than playing a shitty flash game.

Shadow Heart said...

*Puts up sign*

DO NOT FEED TROLL

kris said...

@_OJ_ Whats sillier and sadder: a person who obsesses over cartoon characters, or a person who obsesses over other people who obsesses over cartoon characters?

Everyone who actually answers the question gets a muffin!

_OJ_ said...

@Shadow Heart

You're back!

Missed you.

_OJ_ said...

@kris

Yes, the more responses that pop up, the more there are to respond to!

Thanks kris, you're a pal for helping me out.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

Beat the game :D
Finally my 21 years of playing Where's Waldo have come to be of some use!

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Truly this is an accomplishment you can cherish for the rest of your life.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Indeed it is :D
So how are you today?

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Why are you trying to talk to me?

I'm not telling you anything about myself.

Fuck off.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Aww, that's too bad. :(
I was hoping for some pleasant conversation, but I suppose everybody has a grumpy day every now and then. Hope you feel better soon :)

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

You know what? Sure. Why not. I like conversation.

I'm actually having a very good day today. Why do you think I'm grumpy?

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Well, you did tell me to fuck off, but I'm glad you're having a nice day. All things considered things have been going nicely for me too :)

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

I told you to fuck off because you're weird, and I don't like weird people.

Doesn't mean I'm having a bad day, it means I wanted the weird person to fuck off.

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

I totally agree! Derpy is a perfect cameo character! :D

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Ah, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. Too bad, too. In my experience everybody's a little weird in their own way. People that aren't weird tend to be really boring. But I'm not that bad a guy, I've simply decided not to let things bother me. But I guess if you don't want to talk, that's your prerogative.

The Rookie said...

Well, got all the achievements but the Lyra one, got 9/10 Lyra found can't seem to get the last one lol.

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Hey, I said I'd talk. You can still fuck off, but I'll gladly talk to you if you want to.

The Rookie said...

I'm just gonna play through all the levels again.

MyBoyJ said...

A nice, fun little game. It was a good idea to turn our weekly Derpy spotting into an actual interactive game. I forgot to look for Lyras as well, so I played the whole game twice to get everything.

John said...

What a great game! I enjoyed it very much.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Well I wouldn't want to be a bother. What would you prefer me do?

_OJ_ said...

@MyBoyJ

I should learn flash, apparently people really love cheap-ass games as long as a lame pony character is in it.

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Like I said: I said I'd talk. Ball's in your court.

Or do you want to talk about whether you want to talk or not, like you have been?

Or are you just not smart?

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

I don't know. I don't really care either. I just don't like being a bother.

The Rookie said...

@_OJ_

Oh, internet tough guy. Funny how in real life, you wouldn't be saying half the stuff you are right now to random people.

_OJ_ said...

@The Rookie

Oh cool, you've met me before?

What's your name? Where'd we meet? Sorry, I have a horrible memory for people I find immediately forgettable.

MyBoyJ said...

@The Rookie

Don't feed the parasprites.

ANY response is feeding.

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Why aren't you as friendly as before? Why are you not so willing to talk? I thought you wanted to talk. You've gotten very short with me. What's the matter?

The Rookie said...

@_OJ_
Haha, well I just met you here on Equestria Daily a few seconds ago. I'm sorry you have such a terrible case of amnesia.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Oh dear, I'm sorry. I never wanted to come across as rude. I just didn't want to bother you. That is if I was bothering you in the first place. Was I bothering you? If not then I'd be delighted to talk :) What would you like to talk about?

DerpGarde said...

Oh come now Seth, there can never be too much Derpy. Thanks pepperpunk, I enjoy simple flash games like this!

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Sure, let's talk.

Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself?

_OJ_ said...

@The Rookie

Okay, so you've never met me before.

So you don't actually know what my response would be, then.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I thought your assumption was more than just that.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Oh I'm not embarrassing myself, silly! :) It's only embarrassing myself if I myself feel embarrassed. And I don't. And since I don't feel embarrassed, then I'm obviously not embarrassing myself.

Why?

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

That's a shame, because you should be embarrassed for being such a freak.

That's why.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Hmmmm... no I don't think so :/
After all, I like myself the way I am, and I don't let what other people think bother me, so if I like myself how I am, then why should I be embarrassed? Even if somebody thinks I'm a freak?

fargreencountry said...

Dusty the Royal Janitor, are you any relation to Elwood P. Dowd? ;)

Very fun and well-put-together little game!

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Well I suppose if you never want to be taken seriously in life, that's your prerogative.

I like myself too and have no fucks to give as to what people think about me, but that's because I have no socially crippling obsessions.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@fargreencountry

No, actually, I don't believe I am. But I do very much like the way Mr. Dowd looks at things. Those seem like excellent words to live by :)

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Who needs to be taken seriously? And if you need to be taken seriously in life, then don't you care about what other people think of you?

But I'm glad you're such a confident person. It's so nice to wake up in the morning with nothing to bother you, isn't it?

_OJ_ said...

@Dusty the Royal Janitor

Why are you getting short with me again? It's like you're losing patience or something.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Oh dear, I'm sorry. I didn't think I was getting short there. I do apologize if I've offended you.

pmcollectorboy said...

Looks like someone poured himself a bowl of razor blades thinking it was his daily cereal.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

@_OJ_

Oh dear, sadly it looks like I'm going to be late for work. It was nice talking with you though, _OJ_. Have a nice day :)

Pete Gordon said...

Everyone feed _OJ_'s trolling. That makes sense.

Octavia said...

Really cute game. I loved how you could destroy the Town Hall in the last level. Nice addition. :P It took me a little while to find the third muffin in the last level too. And the Lyra achievement is cute too. :>

Sonar009 said...

Guys? Hitting the reply key means he wins. Over and over and over. Just leave it.

Anyway, the game was awesome. I gave up at 8 Lyras because I lost my place, though... >.<

Pink Champagne said...

Awesome game. Something to ease the anticipation of Fighting is Magic.

Unknown said...

Derpy is best waldo.

pmcollectorboy said...

I'm disappointed that a stage is completed just for finding Derpy. It would be a REAL challenge if you had to find Derpy AND the three muffins.

dec9c396-5ea7-11e1-9658-000bcdcb8a73 said...

Well, this was a fun game for today. I wanted to play it in intervals of three or four levels each round to get myself more used to each achievement. I did enjoy the part about destroying Ponyville's town hall, especially the accompanying sound effect.

garturo62 said...

Great game lol took me a while but I had to find Lyra.

Roughplague said...

Got it all, derpys, muffins, and lyras, plus the destroy town hall =P
