Addictions
If you’re acquainted with farming games, you know that feeling of obligation you get when you have something that’s ready to be harvested or collected, and just a few more coins will get you this next item. Even if you’ve lost interest in the game, you have this urge to take care of something in the game still lingering in the back of your mind. In the My Little Pony game, your crops won’t die like in Farmville, but you do have shops that are producing things and they can’t continue making things until you collect the coins, and some shops are finished with their product in just a minute.
It’s nice to see official 3D models of the ponies, but the game is nowhere near the fun of the show and there are only 2 mini games that the ponies like to play in. It’s weird when one of the adult ponies(Mr. and Mrs. Cake) or a rather masculine pony(Big McIntosh) wants to bounce a ball back and forth. It seems like too much of a children’s game for those ponies to want to play it. I consider the main characters to be adults, too, but young enough to bounce a ball back and forth like a puppy would.
The highlight of the game is when Derpy shows up hiding in a gift box with eye holes cut out. She was funny to see acting like a spy.

It’s a farming game! One of those games where you do mundane tasks until you run out of coins, then you can’t do anything else until you’ve slowly harvested enough to add more things to your land, then you wait some more before you can do the next thing! There’s no action, exploring or really anything happening. Why am I still playing this?
So anyway, add me on Gameloft & drop some treasure chests my way so I can build an ice cream shop. Username is “ferretwilliams”. I’ll be right back, my lemons are ready and Mr. Cake wants to play.
