"This is not a game about ponies", the game warns you.
Well, it /is/, sort of, but don't let that stop you. It's
a retro-arcade game and yes, you take on the role of a
galloping pony. But the arcade game itself is possesed by
the devil and it's as much about hacking the game as it
is about dodging enemies. Despite the faux-retro graphics,
it actually looks sort of interesting. I'd almost want to
play it... except I really don't enjoy arcade experiences.
It's just not a genre I'm into. But if I were, I think I'd
give this game a chance.

Free until October 12th 17:00 UTC... so not much time left. Grab it
quick!

You should have a look at the video game 'Drol' on youtube if you can
find it. It had a great art style that I'd like to see again. Kind of
like those pixel games (Choplifter & Sabotage (though you guys already
told me you couldn't find this one) & maybe Odyssey: The Compleat
Apventure too), but what was unique about it was where all those other
games have the 'sprites' depixillating (a bit gory), Drol kept it all
together and the stuff was actually sturdy. Like maybe the flying knives
had solid walnut handles etc.

Do you want a friendship with chaos?
Wanna party with Perses?
Consequences mean nothing to me
Morning is your problem, I don't stick around
The damage is done, it’s all you from here
And don’t come a looking 'cause I simply do not care
Like you’d even find me
Well, maybe after a few pints
And I only make an appearance when the time is right
You see, I'm all about the here and now
Live in the moment and all that, carpe diem
