Trosh: The Movie: The Game

Trosh: The Movie: The Game

 For some reason it seems that fangame releases seem to all be clustered around the same time, followed by long periods of silence from everybody. These usually provide an excellent opportunity to search around a bit, find some projects that have been overlooked or remained obscure for long periods of time. I'm not entirely sure if Stabyourself.net's (they're the guys who made Order of Twilight, by the way) Trosh would count as a pony fangame or not, given that you run around shooting pony OCs that belonged to an annoying user on their forum, but at least it's something, right?

Last time I checked, the OS X build for this game was broken. And yes, I do have some more games to hopefully post later on today.

TWALAGHT SPARKUHLZ REVEHNGSHE Trailer

  TWALAGHT SPARKUHLZ REVENGSHE

The "Twilight Sparkle defence shooter" genre may not be as oversaturated as the Pinkie Pie platformers and cloud dodgers, but Penta Studios (those loveable folks who created Waiting is Magic) seems to think otherwise with the announcement of TWALAGHT SPARKUHLZ REVENGSHE. Slated for release on the 10th of August TSR seems to be the joke game at its finest, with absurdly powerful weapons and perhaps the ugliest parasprites we have ever seen. There's almost no doubt that it will be a blast to play when it comes out given its origins, so be sure to check back on the 10th for this awesome game.

And will it cure cancer like Waiting is Magic did? We have no idea, but beta testing has proven that every 1 minute of playtime adds 1 year to your life. Play this game enough and you'll be practically immortal!

Rainbow Dash Attack

Rainbow Dash Attack by chiefwrigley

Rainbow Dash Attack is a parody of the widely popular side-scrolling Robot Unicorn Attack. Instead of a robot unicorn, you play as Rainbow Dash. The music featured in this game is Always by Erasure.

No gameplay has been changed from the original Robot Unicorn Attack Game, and only a few other things have been reskinned. The game has no story, the only goal being to jump over cliffs, and not run into solid objects in order to make your points reach the highest they can. Collecting the butterfly things will give you point bonuses, along with Dashing into the giant stars.

It's Rainbow Dash!! :D

All in all, there is little to say about this game as a whole. So even though nothing has changed gameplay wise in this game, the rating I would give this game:

Super Ethical Shipping Climax Demo

Super Ethical Shipping Climax

(Tumblr)

 Billing itself as a SFW-ish parody of shipping-centric visual novels, the Super Ethical Shipping Climax demo is an awkward jumble of borrowed vectors, annoying placeholder music and plenty of fourth wall-breaking dialogue. This might sound bad, and from several perspectives it leaves a lot to be desired, but to be honest I rather enjoyed this weird little MLGD Marathon entry in spite of (or perhaps partially because of) its shortcomings. Perhaps that's what the developers intended in the first place?

 Since this is only a demo there are several missing endings and whatnot, although I hope they leave in several of the blank scenes in which the narrator laments their lack of a visual artist.

SOPA "PIPA" Filly Adventure

Play it Here!

Hopefully you all had a relaxing and rewarding blackout day. For those of you who missed it, Equestria Gaming blacked out, along with countless other websites in protest of H.R. 3261 and S. 968 (SOPA and PIPA: you all know what they are, no need to explain). We believed it to be a necessary gesture in the fight against these bills, which would effectively destroy the internet we know and love.

And what better way to herald our return than to report on a game, better yet, a SOPA game! The creator of Super Filly Adventure, Jay6, parodied his own game with SOPA "PIPA" Filly Adventure, where everything is censored. Read more after the break...

In short, SOPA Filly Adventure follows the storyline of Super Filly Adventure, a game Jay6 originally created for the 16-bit gaming contest on Equestria Gaming, but has grown into a very popular game in its own right (it definitely deserves a full on review here - I'll be sure to write that).

The difference between this parody and the original is two-fold. One, only one of the three possible endings in Super Filly Adventure is possible here. Also, every character and every character's name in text boxes is censored, leading to some fourth wall breaking conversations between characters commenting on the SOPA and PIPA induced changes. The backgrounds in most scenes are solid colors, and there is no music; both are

You follow a censored version of Jade around, inviting equally censored ponies to a party to stop SOPA. Upon talking to Applejack, you play the making muffins minigame, but since the ingredients are blacked out as well, you don't know which is the correct ingredient. The finished product is a mystery to both you and the characters.

The game culminates in a boss battle against none other than SOPA itself, represented by a likeness of Lamar Smith, the U.S. Representative of Texas's 21st District and the fellow who introduced SOPA to the House.

Jay6 has stated that the game is only temporary, so I suggest playing it now if you so desire. As a note, the reason SOPA is crossed out and replaced with PIPA is that SOPA's hearing has been postponed indefinitely whereas PIPA (I believe) is scheduled to be voted on January 24.
