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 :)
