It's an offline dinosaur game with lasers and fourth wall breaks. I had some fun. The puzzles especially made me feel kind of smart and were pretty fun- never overstayed their welcome. It got a bit annoying at times and dragged at others, but the bit with the fake Steam message? That got me—cool fourth wall break.
No estoy en condiciones de reseñar este juego, así que simplemente dejo mis impresiones de lo que recuerdo cuando lo jugué, por allá en 2017.
El juego es definitivamente interesante, mas no lo recomiendo a cualquiera. Es algo críptico de descifrar, y si eso es algo que agradecerías tener en un juego, pues adelante, este es el juego indicado.
La nota que le doy es tentativamente 5/10, ya que recuerdo haber disfrutado del juego, cosa que no puedo decir de otros juegos en mi lista, mas es probable que esta nota no sea muy precisa.

It's a really chaotic experience but the concept is interesting. It takes a lot of influence from other similar games that take the premise of a game within a game to the core. It is an alright experience since neither the story or gameplay are extremely unique, even with the file browsing system. The puzzles are interesting and the levels satisfying to play (considering it's just jumping and shooting). I feel the game is a little too long for what it does.
I was excited to play this game, as I am a massive fan of Daniel Mullins' other game "Inscryption", but this game was unfortunately not able too pull off the same levels of intrigue or finesse as that title. Neither the 'usual' nor the subversive moments in this game were interesting to me, and the best thing I have to say about it is that it told its narrative with relative brevity.
If you were thinking of getting this game, I would strongly suggest you get Inscryption instead!

What a neat little game.
I came to Pony Island years after playing Mullen's other title Inscryption which I adored. I do wish I played Pony Island first ahead of Inscryption as it is similar in its storytelling style, but you can tell they have honed their craft once they arrived at Inscryption. Their ability to setup interesting player interaction and predict what a player might attempt and meet it with an interesting, cryptic, and weird answer is always a joy to play through.
With that said, Pony island is a mechanically simple game that can be primarily played with just the mouse with a fun interactive story that I don't want to spoil. The game creates a lot of unique and interesting sets of interactions between the player, the game, and developer.
Past that, this game is only two hours and on sale cost me $0.89 CAD, so yeah, spend the less then a dollar for a fun 2 hour experience that will suck the soul out of you :)
