Artix has released a new gem matching pony battle game. I can defensively see losing a few hours to this one. Confound these leveling systems and cute ponies!
You can find it here.
Blog's on hold for the day btw. Fluffy Blueberry Boo and I have leveling to do.

ReplyDeleteWAUOT!?
ReplyDeleteDear god, this intro music is inescapable.
ReplyDeleteNo! You can't leave!
ReplyDeleteOh shit. Confound those flash games! They drive us to waste time!
ReplyDeleteHere's my friend code if anypony wants to add me:
ReplyDelete274-A5DA
I don't know why, but I adore this song @.@
ReplyDeletePonies and Ponies And Ponies And Ponies...!
ReplyDeleteIt's So Fun!
I have to sign up?
ReplyDeleteFUCK. THAT.
I just love the music
ReplyDeleteIts just.....gah its in my head
I would play if I didnt have to sign up.
ReplyDeleteGem matching + kinda creepy looking ponies = No go for me. Ah well, enjoy your leveling then Seth.
ReplyDeleteAren't there two other people who can run this blog? But if this game is as fun as everybody says, I might not care
ReplyDeleteMe and Lord Wander Sunbeam are having waaaaay too much fun right now... is there any way to curse AND thank somepony at the same time??
ReplyDeleteBest. Game. Theme. EVER!
ReplyDeleteOh god intro music is awesome :D
ReplyDeleteOnly clicked on the link to hear the music.
ReplyDeleteThe ponies in this game look weird.
dat intro music is hypnotizing, "defenders of cupcakes and shooting star wishes!"
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of people like the music, I believe the song is sung by One-Eyed Doll's Kimberly. You can check them out here: http://www.oneeyeddoll.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm totally obliterating everything! Am I supposed to be doing this well?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually addicting.
ReplyDeleteThat intro song.... I need it on my iPod.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd like to add that the game's theme is very annoying, I can't stand it for more than 5 seconds.
ReplyDeleteEPIC, just epic!
ReplyDelete@Mattatatta
ReplyDeleteyou can mute it by clicking the buttons in the top right
Mine is 4764-A39B
ReplyDeletepretty addictive game, and entertaining aswell.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the names sure are great
-Little Lord Sugar
Dat music! Haha. Love it. This game is simply awesome, my goodness.
ReplyDeletewhy is this game so easy yet addicting
ReplyDeleteprince moonbeam magic ftw
OH wow this made to to the blog? I just noticed this game yesterday on gamefaqs list of games releasing soon. Wish I had sent it in >_>
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda weird that if you choose to be a boy pony, you can still wear girls clothes.
ReplyDeleteWhen the intro mentioned Cupcakes it gave me a cold shiver.
ReplyDeleteBaked goods will never be the same again.... (And I didn't even read the fanfic, i just have this goddamn imaginations and combination skills)
Speedy Speedy Woo is kicking all kinds of ass. :D
ReplyDeleteThis game is amazing.
Starlight Little Bliss :D.. i'm rollin ...they hatin' :D
ReplyDeletesomeone add Magic Speedy Snuggle!
ReplyDeleteI'm level 4 and have to have 640 experience to level up... >_>
ReplyDeleteGo Magic Starlight Sprinkles, go!
ReplyDeleteEh, it was okay.
ReplyDeleteThe theme song needs to become the new Brony Rickroll. It'd be so perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy friend code is 2387-D54A,if anypony wants to add me for some reason by the way.
ReplyDelete@Apocalyptic
ReplyDeleteit's a bug and it happened to me too. I hope they fix it soon though.
@Apocalyptic happened to me too. i'm not sure if i'm playing real people
ReplyDeleteI too have 640 exp to earn to reach level 5, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI do like that the shields are saved from one battle to the next though.
And friend code of 4596-6849 if anypony cares
LOL the intro song is crazy but the game is addicting T_T
ReplyDeleteI think the ponies are real ones created by people,but when you battle them they're AI. If they were real people,it wouldn't be so easy.
ReplyDeleteThis game is way too easy
ReplyDeleteHey everypony my friend code is 4987-9007!
ReplyDelete@Apocalyptic
ReplyDeleteWell, what's the point of that, then?
o my god check out the pony page. hahah prince moonbeam magic draws sandwiches. wut
ReplyDelete@Spikely Whiplash
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is a challenge other players mode that will be released soon.
And I think that we are battling other player's ponies as AIs right now... it would explain why I haven't seen one I can battle above level 4 either.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they _just_ put this game out, and they haven't even made stuff higher than level 4 yet, and are frantically getting it finished as we speak.
lord starlight sunbeam is mine. and i made him dark hair and body
ReplyDeletei beat 1 lv 5 so far
ReplyDeleteFriend code 5037-B5EA, battle Joyful Starlight Bliss if you daaaaaare~ X3
ReplyDeleteIf only Hubworld could make something like this...
ReplyDelete4942-1E0D
You think you can take on Star Mango Marshmellow?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteKing Marshmallow Sprinkles add if you want:
ReplyDelete4600-CC58
Have some insider knowledge:
ReplyDeleteThis game was only released yesterday, on Sept. 2nd, so it's still in early stages of development. Level cap is 5 so they made getting there pretty tough.
you're not battling others in real time, it's all AI based at the moment, it's pretty easy until updates come along which will increase the difficulty.
Wandering Lord Starlight and I are kind of wasting time with this. Also, the boss fights are pretty decent.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteare friend codes working?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the opponents are randomly generated, or drawn from ponies other players have made.
ReplyDeleteBecause if it's the latter I want to know who made the pony Sugar Sugar Sugar
Wandering Rainbow Cupcake...
ReplyDeleteI regret nothing |DDD
@Twilight
ReplyDeleteI think I played Sugar Sugar Sugar too, now I want to know!
Happy Joyful Kins
ReplyDelete4859-6906

ReplyDelete4710-3BC5
ReplyDeleteWandering Bliss Starlight
This game is addictive like hell. Also, can somepony tell me how do I make my pet do something? Or what are the butterfly gems for?
ReplyDeleteprince moonbeam magic is lonely and needs fwiends
ReplyDelete4658-C2F7
lol.
ReplyDelete"I CAN HAS ERROR"
"I CAN HAS ERROR TEXT HERE"
i am prince starlight wander face me if you dare but know this that i will not fall so easily
ReplyDelete5110-B2A4
@bobmortar When you get a certain number of candy orbs, you do a special attack based on what pet you have. The butterflies are defense, opponent's attacks will reduce your butterfly count, and if it's zero then you take damage from the attack.
ReplyDeleteheh im not kidding my fastest clear was 10 seconds flat
ReplyDeleteOh my. You can purchase SOCKS FOR YOUR PONY!
ReplyDeleteThe makers of this game know what we want!
btw dont try to add yourself you will crash it
ReplyDeletelove me and despair
ReplyDelete4656-81D4
-Little Lord Sugar
Don't fuck with the Magic Friendship Cupcake
ReplyDelete5051-03C4
Also Pinkamena should be a boss battle
Hey, thanks Twilight!
ReplyDeleteSo, here's my friend code 4648-90FE
if anyone wants to add Happy Little Bug! :)
Behold! Joyful Cupcake King, the Magician!
ReplyDelete4717-2010
i have tried to add everyone in the list did anyone of you get a request?
ReplyDelete@bobmortar No problem, though at the time it seems that all the pets do the same thing, so they're just another accessory right now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it seems that you have to reload the page to see any new friend requests
yo twi i am kicking your ponys flank in this i suspec it has a really crappy ai
ReplyDeleteIt's been mentioned in the comments already :P the AI is kinda bad but it only just launched and is near-certainly a work in progress.
ReplyDeletewould be cool if seth posted his code
ReplyDeleteLittle Mango Magic is looking for friends!
ReplyDelete5353-A74E
After I reloaded the page to see the friend requests (thanks to all who sent them, all were accepted), the game seems to also turn things up a notch in the difficulty also. Still easily winnable, but at least I can't mess around anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlso, anypony know what the whole cupcake thing is about? Does the level and/or type mean anything, or is that not yet in the game?
To be honest, I feel this game is everything FiM isn't. This isn't clever, or charming or funny. It just feels like a bad attempt to cash in on MLP without copyright issues.
ReplyDeleteAnd Biogems Will always be my favourite gem matching game (now if only they added multiplayer...)
Now excuse me, I must wash the taste of diabetes out my mouth.
5262-6823
ReplyDeleteFLUFFY SUGAR CUPCAKE AWAITS BATTLE!!!
4729-8462
ReplyDeleteSpeedy King Star
Just a rookie on the Battelfield!
What.
ReplyDeleteI can has error.
I can has error text here.
What.
What was your biggest attack combo? Mine was 12 o.o
ReplyDelete@Baluh Brony I got a 13 once, from a grid that was almost entirely suns.
ReplyDeleteIt was glorious.
I don't think that the AI is that bad, there is something wrong with the game. After a few battles the game slows down. The first battle CAN get a little bit harder, and after that the AI isn't doing anything. The paperbag pony is unbeatable for me when I fight him at first. (just tried him again, he beat me after 20 secs.
ReplyDelete4620-E53A
hears my friend code
ReplyDelete4671-9846
also i love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate to correct you Seth, but Rolith, not Artix, is the one who worked on the game. In fact, Artix himself is an anti-brony. I'm just glad he hasn't fired Rolith cause of it, especially after this: http://www.aq.com/gamedesignnotes/ponies-1110.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I remember sending you an e-mail about this last month when the game was first announced, and yet there wasn't a single post about it.
Any way, here's my code: 915-E8A3
And what the site originally looked like (it had a button to generate a random pony name): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbZx_9ulRiE
The AI is LOW because you just STARTED , as your "cupcake lvl" goes up, so does your enemy AI, so far the highest is marshmallow lvl.
ReplyDeleteOn another note if you do register, you create an account for all the other AE games :D
Thanks to all who added me (I think I accepted everyone, it crashed after every 2nd accept)
ReplyDeleteThings I found out: Speed is the key.
ReplyDelete...Wow, 2nd lv5 win. and it was actually pretty tough, won by the skin of my teeth
ReplyDeleteFun concept, but the game is very bare-bones at the moment. The AI is really easy, it never hits me enough to drain my health bar.
ReplyDeleteThe developer clearly follows FiM fan art. You can dress your pony in maid costumes and socks, which is awesome.
well already finished all 50 SG matches and level 5 not even close, 150/640 xp :)
ReplyDeletelooking forward to the next patch tho.
Anyway my code 4952-702D if anyone would like to add me.
Prancing Lord Fluffy requires opera gloves to match his scarf and sailor skirt! MORE BATTLES!
ReplyDeleteGood lord, what has this fandom done to me...

ReplyDeleteBRING IT ON FOOS.

ReplyDeleteLORD Starlight Wander will destroy this presumptuous impostor
5560-B099
so now i got no more sparkle gem battles left lets see how long it takes to refresh em
ReplyDeleteMy code: 4917-0718
ReplyDeleteI already saw two Fluttershy clones... one called "Blue Blue Blue" and the other called "Fluffy Fluffy Fluffy". I've also seen a Luna clone called "Princess Starlight Moonbeam"... :oP
ReplyDeleteHi guys, this is Alina from Artix Entertainment. We made PvP because Rolith, Yergen, and Jemini (the PvP team) are all brines, and we wanted to give our pony-loving players a game they could enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe know there are bugs and we will fix them as soon as we get back from DragonCon. (We launched the game from our hotel room last night while Artix was away playing cards with some player.)
The level cap will raise once the game officially goes live next week. Pets will gain more skills and many more shops, bosses, and pony accessories will be added next week! If the game is week-received, it will receive updates in the future from time to time.
We are SO excited that the game was mentioned on the site and that some of you are enjoying it. Also, the AI reflects your own skill level in the game. As you and you opponents get better and faster, so will the AI.
@Aqua Bolt
ReplyDeletelord is below prince dude anyone can become a lord but only a blue blood can be a prince
@Wolfiee
ReplyDeleteJust played agaisn't ya. Beat me once :c
@Coffee Wings seriously? Princess Starlight Moonbeam? Wow, My pony is Lord Starlight Sunbeam, it's just too coincidental
ReplyDeleteMy Pretty Pretty Bug is invincible! (Friend code 5771-4354, pony ID 5771)
ReplyDeleteWhy is this so entertaining?!? Why can't I stop playing?!? Why do I not care?!?
ReplyDeleteAlso, my friend code: 5867-C006
And my pony is Mango Mango Marshmallow.
i've seen lookalikes of doctor whoof, diamond tiara, and a lot of sailor scouts (everyone but jupiter)
ReplyDelete@Coffee Wings Maybe it was mine?
ReplyDeletePrincess Starlight Moonbeam
5780-B252
THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER.
ReplyDeletewait, pets do something? heck, i went petless for all 50 games.
ReplyDelete@coolbond
ReplyDeleteWell sure, but "Lord" sounds cooler.
Also, now every time I click battle the screen goes blank and nothing else happens. this is frustrating
For those looking for more of a challenge, here is the engine the gane runs on: http://ebilgeek.com/cmc/1-hurry-017/
ReplyDeleteYou can select levels up to Impossible where the AI will kill you in a matter of seconds.
The only sacrifice is the ponies :(
I have a pony named Fluffy Rainbow Bliss...me gusta...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know Artix Entertainment pretty well. The high exp required to move beyond 4 is their way of keeping you in their current comfort zone while they are making content.
ReplyDeleteYou might get to level 5, but nothing will be there for you except maybe a boss fight for now.
Anyway, I really hope they up the difficulty level. Otherwise I'ma get too bored. Still, Little Lady Sunshine is lookin' sexy in her Red Cheerleader Outfit and stockings w/shoes.
Me and "Princess Sunbeam Sprinkles" needs a few friends!
ReplyDelete5768-16E6
5972-0CE1
ReplyDeleteLord Fluffy Moonbeam at your service
I'm going to friend all of you. ALL OF YOU!
ReplyDelete140/640 Wow, level 5 is pretty much unachievable.

ReplyDelete@Alina A little bit of animation would be nice though
awsome
ReplyDelete@Xellos
ReplyDeletewell, it IS official, you are epic
Friend Code: 5925-9E0B
ReplyDeleteSee you all around!
you can still get EXP after 50, apparently, just not gems. also, I now have a pet, this pony is now unstoppable!
ReplyDelete+15 attack combo
ReplyDeleteDownloaded the intro music.
ReplyDeleteIt's a must have.
5875-4EA9
ReplyDeleteBlue Prince Marshmallow will triumph over all~
Am I the only one having problems leveling up? I click "level up" I fight the pony, but then nothing happens :(
ReplyDeleteI'm 4618-E471 if anyone wants to friend.
Magic Lord Dumpling is undefeated! Bow beneath his iron hoof.
ReplyDeleteAdd 5799-6CBB to be stomped!
I tried the site that M00F linked. Very hard is too easy though, and impossible is actually impossible (computer literally jumps up to warp speed). It needs more granular difficulty levels.
ReplyDeleteGot a +16 combo at one point (which was glorious) and tried out the koala pet, which apparently owns people with a laser blast ;)
sunbeam moonbeam woo!
ReplyDelete6163-ABAB
Xellos, please add me, or post up your friend code so I can add you. The extra 1 exp point will really help in getting to level 5
ReplyDelete5799-6CBB
Battle my Scootaloo clone
ReplyDelete5307-499D
Okay, this confirms that if they made a Pony puzzle game for some handheld system with and a story mode for each pony, I would throw money at my closest game retailer.
ReplyDeleteLittle Huggable Marshmallow Rarity Clone is kind of adorable. If only she didn't have Vinyl Scratches smirk. Maybe I should invest in a new mouth.
As a side note, the battle music is really addictingly catchy.
Confound this ponies indeed, 5448-E0CA Wander Moonbeam Star enter the fray
ReplyDelete6343-72B7
ReplyDeletePrepare to face your doom at hooves of the oh so suave Prince Rainbow Sunbeam!

5184-C1CE
ReplyDeleteLord prince king is going to befriend 'em all!
More than half way to 5 now. 328/640
ReplyDeleteBrutal, but I cannot stop!
Was fun until level 4, then the EXP req leaped. Also, I'm a little put off if its true...Can you only fight 50 times before having to pay to continue? If so, screw that game. :(
ReplyDeleteAw yeah. King Lord Rainbow
ReplyDeleteTotally not randomly picked with my eyes closed.
Friend Code: 6644-8769
@james2244
ReplyDeleteCome get some.
@Ragona
ReplyDeleteYou get 50 gems per day as a non member I think. You can still get experience from battles if you have no battle gems left.
@Xellos
ReplyDeleteYou were the guy to reach lvl.5 right? let's be friends!

ReplyDelete5589-6EF3
You gotta reload to keep the game from getting slow, but then you lose all defense points you've kept. I've lost 50+ from time to time.
ReplyDelete5583-B3CF
ReplyDeleteMy friend code. Almost level 5!
Did anybody else look at the pony up package, there's gonna be an adventure mode!
ReplyDelete@Flutterfan
ReplyDeleteI have bought the pony up package :)

@Lucky Sanity
ReplyDeleteHey I chose the same name! Wandering Rainbow Cupcake :D I thought kind of a ghost Rainbow Dash when I chose that.
@Xellos
ReplyDeleteWhen I can I am so going to, screw other things, All of them even Army of Darkness comics I am gonna Pony up!
Princess Cuddle Dumpling is looking like the cheerleader from Heroes, but she stole Trixie's hat.
ReplyDeletederp that exp jump is a bit.... time consuming...
ReplyDeleteeh.. ill go play KH BBS now.

@Flutterfan
ReplyDeleteand forget more commas!
Sunshine Sugar Bliss! 5405-7301 ^^
ReplyDelete@Alina
ReplyDeletecan you post who sings the intro? do they have website to download that awesome song?
all outa sparkle gem battles D:
ReplyDelete@Raynor
ReplyDeleteKimberly from One Eyed Doll sings the intro.
You can still battle after your dailies run out. You just won't get any more gems after wins.
ReplyDeleteponies and ponies and ponies :D
ReplyDelete@ZG
ReplyDeleteI know. this intro music is godlike! Just listening to it makes everything big and eight.
Not sure if everyone knows, but there is a flaw with the program that makes it slow down to a crawl if you play many consecutive battles. Simply reloading, and relogging in clears it up for a bit.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Xellos, add me! 4953-DC0D
So my "Cupcake" level has gone up alot because of all the ponies I've taken down... oh god I'm going to be sick :O
ReplyDelete@Dit
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even thought about that until now...I shall join ye in your sickness.
Any pony have more than 6 friends added? I accepted a 7th but he isn't showing up. Boo. 485/640
ReplyDeleteapparantly my pony "petrifies cupcakes". he is not only immune , but actually Scares the story itself!
ReplyDelete@greenie-pie
ReplyDeleteI have four pages of friends.
I have 6, but no more appear to add.
ReplyDelete501/640
ya know, i would like the game more if i didn't know the creators are completely evil.
ReplyDelete@greenie-pie
ReplyDelete5589-6EF3 try adding me.
@painmongr
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean?
6711-16C9
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't get any of the game mechanics.
Should I wait until EXP needed for lvl 5 go down? Or is there a benefit to just leveling up right now?
Do each pet do different things? or it it all the same, attack 20%? What do they do when I chain blue orbs?
What affects my cupcake level? Should I try to keep it low, so other people can level up, too? or will that affect me negatively?
So I guess I should try to fight an opponent with a higher level, but lower cupcake level?
What affects how much sparkle gems I get whenever I win a fight?
@DeRockProject
ReplyDeletei think attack 20% is just a reference to the show. the blue orbs are candy, which if you get enough of your pet will attack. I think sparkle gems are random, i have no iddea what the cupcakes do, requesting to be a friend.
I'm maxing out everything.
ReplyDeleteAnd making a pinkie clone. I would have had a more fitting name if I had known I could look like Pinkie.
6277-C8DC
@DeRockProject
ReplyDeleteAnswering your questions:
A) Dunno. Leveling up sooner does give you earlier access to shops, though.
B) Dunno about the pets. Maybe they do different damage. When you chain blue orbs, they may attack based on their attack % (I think).
C) As you win battles, you cupcake level rises. Dunno the advantages and disadvantages of having a certain cupcake levels, though. I would think that having a high level would make you a better target for more XP.
D) I'm going for high level, high cupcake level opponents. I'd think they would give you higher XP and more sparkle gems.
E) Maybe the level and cupcake level of your opponent. Otherwise, it's random.
These are all educated guesses right now based of my experiences of the game, which has totaled a few hours today.
Whee, I'm Rainbow Marshmallow Cupcake!
ReplyDelete...What?
