One other day, one other lovely recreation that I’ve turn into fully obsessive about. I got here throughout Roly-Pony this weekend throughout a very soul-sucking bout of doomscrolling, and it is turned out to be the right little short-term respite from the horrors. (Shoutout to Alice Ruppert of The Mane Quest for at all times protecting us knowledgeable in regards to the newest in horse video games).
Roly-Pony is a Suika-style recreation, that means it entails dropping and stacking spherical objects as a way to create matching pairs that mix to turn into totally different, larger objects. That’ll additionally clear up house on the board within the course of, which is vital as a result of, just like Tetris, you may’t enable the objects to pile too excessive. On this case, you begin with horse treats and maintain constructing on them till you have unlocked a bunch of various horses. It is quite simple and very cute, with peaceable music going within the background and a whole lot of little particulars that individuals who love horses will actually recognize.
The sport is free and playable on each the online and cellular, with a leaderboard so you may see the way you rank. I naively thought I’d simply shortly test this recreation out (as a result of, horses) and transfer on after a couple of minutes, however have as a substitute spent hours this weekend attempting to crack the highest 10. I’ve now obtained it bookmarked on each my laptop computer and my cellphone, so at this level there isn’t any finish in sight. Roly-Pony is free, however there’s an choice to ship just a few {dollars} the builders’ manner on itch.io if you wish to assist their work.
