Another day, another adorable game that I’ve become completely obsessed with. I came across Roly-Pony this weekend during a particularly soul-sucking bout of doomscrolling, and it’s turned out to be the perfect little temporary respite from the horrors. (Shoutout to Alice Ruppert of The Mane Quest for always keeping us informed about the latest in horse games).
Roly-Pony is a Suika-style game, meaning it involves dropping and stacking round objects in order to create matching pairs that combine to become different, bigger objects. That’ll also clear up space on the board in the process, which is important because, similar to Tetris, you can’t allow the objects to pile too high. In this case, you start with horse treats and keep building on them until you’ve unlocked a bunch of different horses. It’s very simple and very cute, with peaceful music going in the background and a lot of little details that people who love horses will really appreciate.
The game is free and playable on both the web and mobile, with a leaderboard so you can see how you rank. I naively thought I would just quickly check this game out (because, horses) and move on after a few minutes, but have instead spent hours this weekend trying to crack the top 10. I’ve now got it bookmarked on both my laptop and my phone, so at this point there’s no end in sight. Roly-Pony is free, but there’s an option to send a few dollars the developers’ way on itch.io if you want to support their work.
