One other day, one other lovely recreation that I’ve change into utterly 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 momentary respite from the horrors. (Shoutout to Alice Ruppert of The Mane Quest for at all times holding us knowledgeable concerning the newest in horse video games).
Roly-Pony is a Suika-style recreation, that means it entails dropping and stacking spherical objects to be able to create matching pairs that mix to change into totally different, larger objects. That’ll additionally clear up area on the board within the course of, which is essential as a result of, just like Tetris, you may’t permit 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 loads of little particulars that individuals who love horses will actually admire.
The sport is free and playable on each the online and cell, with a leaderboard so you may see the way you rank. I naively thought I’d simply shortly verify 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 bought it bookmarked on each my laptop computer and my telephone, so at this level there is not any finish in sight. Roly-Pony is free, however there’s an choice to ship a couple of {dollars} the builders’ means on itch.io if you wish to assist their work.
