Take friendship to new heights and tame the chaotic magic that’s turning the world upside down, in a mystery adventure for one or two ponies!
The adventure-platformer game allows players to explore the cloud city of Zephyr Heights, featuring a cast of playable pony characters from the My Little Pony: A New Generation franchise. Each pony has their own unique abilities that players can use to overcome obstacles and progress through the story.
Players start by controlling Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer, and gradually unlock the rest of the Mane 6 characters - Izzy Moonbow, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, and Misty Brightdust. Sunny's roller skates, Hitch's ability to track hoofprints, and Izzy's magic to construct bridges are just a few examples of the special abilities players can utilize. Switching between characters is quick and seamless, encouraging players to find the right pony for each task.
Compared to the previous game, the levels in this title are larger and more open-ended, inviting players to thoroughly explore each area. Players can find various collectibles, such as gems and star bits, and complete quests for NPCs. Progression often involves solving puzzles and challenges that require the use of a specific pony's abilities. As the story advances, the game introduces new mechanics and opens up additional areas of Zephyr Heights.
In addition to the main platforming and exploration, the game features a variety of minigames and activities for players to enjoy. These include Pipp's Photo Shoot, Hitch is on the Trail, and Sunny's Smoothie Delivery, providing a fun break from the core gameplay and offering additional ways to interact with the world and characters.
One of the new features in this title is the addition of local co-op, allowing two players to explore the game's world together. While the co-op mode has some limitations, such as a shared screen and occasional freezing issues, it provides an opportunity for players to experience the adventure with a friend or family member.
