Introduction:
Greetings, and welcome friends to another one of my strange, unusual, and probably pointless topics. In witness as i "The amazing Lyraudini" once again waste's his/her time creating an overly big introduction that has no real specific meaning! Lately i have been noticing the sheer and overwhelming amount of excited people, whom are all waiting patiently at the edge of there seats for the release of the upcoming brony games such as "Fighting is Magic", "Super Smash Ponies", "Legends of Equestria" and several other games i have yet to remember! This topic is all based upon that up-coming excitement going around the forums and several other brony communities expanding across the interwebs. The idea of this topic is not only simply a way calm down my own excitement, but also a-way to hopefully help calm and entertain several of the other users out there that are currently suffering from severe boredom, and their malnutrition from lack of being able to find new and exciting pony based games! Even though one can simply find thousands of other ways to find pony games, other then simply reading my thread.
Details:
As described in the introduction this thread is simply to help find, and inform people about several of the fun, interesting, and unique pony based flashed games that are available to play. Hopefully giving them a better in-sight on each of the games through strange descriptions, ratings, difficulties, controls, pictures, and even my own personal reviews which will all be located/labeled under each of the games spoiler tabs. All the ratings, difficulties and reviews will all be based on my own experiences with-in the described games, and as such shouldn't be taken to seriously, given on the simple fact that each and every person has there own preferences and likes on different types of games. Each game will also be organized by genre, and sorted by alphabetical order under each of the genre's categories, hopefully for a better organization in the game-list that will allow for easier searching for users that know exactly on what type of games they want to play. All comments, and ideas are welcomed a-long with new suggestions for games i should play and review, as i plan to add new games to the list weekly.
Note: Unfortunately in the other thread, i ran out of room. So i was forced to re-make the topic, and this time reserve some post for the future, unfortunately that also causes me to double post.. which is against the rules.
Note 2: Also, as stated in the introduction, i am in fact well aware that there are countless number of sites where you can find flash games at, but that doesn't matter to me. As i am doing this to distract myself, and to have fun.
Genres:
Avoid/Side-Vertical Shooters:
Avoid: Generally in avoid based games the player will usually have to avoid being hit by certain objects coming at them from the other side of the screen, along with collecting power-ups and several other enhancements that will help them avoid being hit-throughout the game.
Flight Side-Shooter: Flight based shooter games generally involve the user to go across a horizontal plain while either having to take down what is in front of them, or to simply avoid the objects in general. Often in this game type the user will also run into several abilities they will be able to collect and pick-up during the game, which will usually help them out and battle, give them protection, or even simply just replenish the users health or speed.
Flight Vertical-Shooter: Similar to the "Flight Side-Shooter" this type of game often is at a much different level in difficulty and screen positioning, as you are now faced battle on a completely vertical based game. But still holds most of the same values as the side-shooter. [/spoiler]

Description: Simply an amazing game! You literally start off the game ready and willing to throw your wife, upon being through you glide through the air trying to collect all the crystal hearts as you can! Avoiding the dark crystals left floating in the sky by the evil king sombra! Careful though, because the longer you stay in the air without obtaining a crystal your flight meter goes down, and you end up crashing and exploding on the ground!
Game Controls:
Cursor = Simply Click upwards, the longer you hold the click the higher you go but the more flight magic you'll use.
Lyra's Rating: 4/5
Difficulty: 4/5
Lyra's Review: A beautifully made game with classic comedy to boot! You literally get to throw your wife, though the game is highly difficult it's still amazing all together and an obsessive must play for the comical gamer!

Description: In this Avoid/Flight based game you are introduced into the world as a Chibi-form of Rainbow Dash, with only one set goal in mind to simply dodge the on-sought of fluffy dangerous clouds that are moving towards you at an ever growing rate as you quickly pick up speed, hitting enough clouds will not only slow the poor chibi down, they will also at the same time slowly drain down your health bar which in the end will threaten to cause the poor chibi to crash into the ground and end in a game over. During the game though you will also be presented with several different power-ups and abilities that will range in effects from restoring your health, to boosting your speed, and even giving you the power to break through walls of clouds for an extended period of time all out to help you survive long as you can. Lastly Slow-motion and Clear Clouds, i don't believe i need to explain on what those do.
Game Controls:
W/Up Key = Upwards Movements
A/Left Key = Left Movements
S/Down Key = Downward Movements
D/Right key = Right Movements
Space = Dashing
P = Pause
E = Clear Clouds
Q = Slow Motion
Lyra's Rating: 3/5

Lyra's Review: Throughout the game i found myself baffled and the sheer adorableness that was the known as the chibi Rainbow Dash, along with the beautiful colours of the sky. Overall though, i found the game to be rather simplistic in it's design and playable with around several ways to establish an easily advantage over the game, which after awhile just became rather repetitive and lost its overall challenge in fun that i had during my first play. The game abilities at the same time however, was actually one of the few reasons i actually found myself going back to the game in general as i feel that is what also made the game unique in it's own way and gave the whole game it's character and love.

Description: In this rather unique game you play as Rainbow Dash, the idea is to simply avoid the bad storm clouds which will stun you on impact and to avoid hitting the bottom of the screen, while clicking the colored orbs on the screen.
Game Controls:
Space Bar = nudge upwards
Lyra's Rating: 1/5
Difficulty: 1/5
Lyra's Review: Made using desktop ponies, and traveling at slow speeds with balls i can't ever seem to capture this game wasn't really my type of game, however the idea and design of the game itself is really unique and is probably worth a try. I'd hate to admit to myself, but this is not the type of game for me, as your movement in speed in the game seems to be that of a snails pace.
