If you’ve been anywhere near a toy store in the past 30 years, you’ll know about My Little Pony, the brand of candy-colored toy horses sold by Hasbro. If you’ve been on the internet in the past 3 years, you’ll know about the most recent incarnation of the franchise, with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. What originally started as a family show has exploded into a pop-culture phenomenon, garnering hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.
The show follows the adventures of Twilight Sparkle, a studious young unicorn and her five friends: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. The six ponies live in the small, homey town of Ponyville in the land of Equestria, which is ruled by the kind and wise Princess Celestia.
With the recent surge in popularity, Hasbro has teamed up with Gameloft to develop a multiplayer city-building simulation app for iOS and Android. In the game, the player starts out as Twilight Sparkle, who is intent on rebuilding Ponyville after the evil Nightmare Moon has wreaked havoc on the town. The player can play minigames with ponies they earn using various in-game currencies, obtainable by either game activity or purchases via the app store or Android market.
Adding other people to your friends list allows the player to visit others’ custom Ponyvilles to give gifts, interact with their ponies, and help them with in-game quests.
Whether you’re a casual fan of the My Little Pony, a hardcore “brony”, or just want an app that balances challenge with the cute-factor, this free app may be for you.
