Reviewing this game is a bit tricky biz. Because it is more of a piece of interactive art, than a game. And every spoiled bit of info ruins a byte of experience. So i regret watching the trailer. But on the other hand – it’s a real pain in the ears to make someone not so open-minded to play a game called “The Pony Island”. I still can’t persuade the tow of my video-game-junkie friends to try ti (I’ve told them not to watch the trailer).
The game starts like a trivial puzzle joke-like game with simple lo-fi graphics. But it … like evolves. So give it a time. It has awesome motivating soundtrack. More of that – it has weirdly astonishing SFX. You will get it, when It talks to you. Thought its graphic is very simple and schematic it manages to have style. Some special effects just make my eyes melt with joy. The game-play and controls are so simple and responsive, that you get used to it in no time. Play-time is rather short, though (around 1.5-2 hours). Is it a pro or con – decide yourself. As for the story – it gave me creeps all the time, thought it is not scary at all. The game does not try to scare you. It more like makes you afraid of yourself of some kind, but you just can’t stop.

Conclusion: I totally recommend that game to almost any kind of gamer. Puzzle-lovers, arcade-kind, artsy-junkies, indie-lovers, a little bit of action-like maybe, and anyone who loves a good genre-free game.
