A lot better than I expected! A bit annoying that you start off at the very beginning if you lose, though. Still, a fun little thing! I'm not so sure about the music or the sound effects, but there's some definite potential here for a super fun game. Reminds me some of Super Dodgeball, which I'm sure is a bit intended. Also, there's a black outline around the upper two goalposts. I'm also a bit confused as to why you went with Derpy Hooves instead of Spike for referee, but that's not really an issue or anything.

The goalposts in the background are used on the first plane, which means they replace the grass tiles (right click and enable editor and you'll see what I mean). I didn't draw a grassy outline around the posts.
I could have gone with Spike, but I didn't have a dragon template finished from before.
I beat rainbow dash, then applejack kicked my ass... Then I started roaming, tried to find Angel for Fluttershy, went into the forest maze, and then I went into some creepy ass cave... for a second there I thought it'd be story of the blanks... then I somehow got out, and then I managed to find myself in some mario-esque stage... nothing was really scary but with my experience from your last game I kept jumping at every slight change in this game... now I'm wondering just how much "extra" stuff did you pack in here? D:
yeah so i'm not ganna lie, Rainbow is a cheating cunt. But just running around and whatnot was pretty fun.
Looks like a good engine for your "story of the blanks" sequel!
Well, i really have no idea what to say. This is my first review on this site, so ill just make it clean and simple.
I wandered around for a bit, just checking things out and i found some cool things. The main "Game" of the whole thing was actually pretty fun, although i really could not beat Surprise no matter how hard i tried. I couldn't get the ball away from her. So, after about fifteen times of getting my flank handed to me by a super saiyan esque Pinkie, i went and frolicked through the field... Only to find myself in this Mario stage. The stage itself was easy, platforming wise, but the music creeped me out.
And now, the thing i REALLY want to comment on. That... Cave. What EXACTLY happened? I went to look for angel... i found angel... and then... WOW. Now, im stuck, im surrounded by at least... fifty randomly flashing ponies, almost ghost like, and random letters and number tiles surrounding me, along with a really glitchy light. Is this supposed to happen? I remember that you also had made Story of the Blanks, so im assuming that this is sort of... Oh, i don't know... a taste of whats to come if you are planning a sequel? Either way, i cant get out now so i would like an explanation if that's okay.
As for the Hoofball game, the controls were pretty good. We walked at a good pace ,and though it seemed to me that the AI could jump JUST a little higher than i could. And that made it seem sort of unfair to me at times, especially when i couldn't exactly get the ball when it was between me and the goalie. And, as i said before... Surprise? Cant beat her. Nope. No way. Impossible.
So as an ending statement from a Brony... Well, thank you for putting this here! It was fun while it lasted. Although, PLEASE tell me what the buck was with that cave. I swear, next time i see a cave, i wont be able to NOT think about this. It. IS. CREEPY!
