Pinkie Pie is a game created by chumpion

Pinkie Pie, a game where a pie bravely adventures out into the wilderness to find his wife, Raspberry Ripple. Or so I thought...


Apparently Pinkie Pie has nothing to do with food, and everything to do with penguins- err, ponies. It appears that this member named Chumpion was evil enough to create a deadly course where poor Pinkie Pie gets smashed, bashed and injured numerous times. We surely have to get the government onto this criminal, animal cruelty is only allowed with mosquitoes, everything else is unacceptable.


My pre-thoughts are not especially high. Chumpion- also known as Jagger on the forums- is just an average shooter game maker. The only game of him that I've really liked is Crunchy, but sometimes I wonder if that was just a one hit wonder. His games usually include a bit of everything, puzzles, traps (though if you trap ponies in a game you must be insane) action and all the other elements to make a good game. The thing is, Jagger just doesn't execute his games properly. Will it be the same here, or will the pie crumble? (Pie sounds better than cookie, and is more relevant to the game.)


Pinkie Pie is a good game, nothing more, nothing less. It actually surprised me for one. This game is filled with action that keeps you falling off your seat (well, almost) and nearly the whole game was an exhilarating adventure. There were times where my little pony named Pinkie Pie had low life because he/she got either bombed, got shot at or harassed by any other enemy, and then she falls, dead, ker-splat. That part I did not enjoy.


There is only about two puzzles in Pinkie Pie. This game is more of an action game than a puzzle game, but Jagger could have made a better effort to include more original puzzles than just going past pushers as an invisible pony. I would've liked it if my little pony had a chance to stop, think, and fail a puzzle. That way, my little pony won't get murdered, but rather die of starvation. -Stomach rumbles-

There are some traps in my pie cupboard, err, Pinkie Pie. For example, being greedy and taking both power-ups instead of waiting for later (note to self, eat pies one hour apart from each other). I can't really complain about there not being enough traps, because any more traps and this game would make me punch myself. So let's just leave the pie cupboard and visit it a bit later...


The placement in Pinkie Pie was satisfactory. The enemy placement felt a bit too crowded at times (especially the start of the game), and then other times it would be too bare. Something I would like to exaggerate on though, is that Jagger placed a disruptor in the middle of a narrow hallway, I hate when people do that, it wastes time because you can just kill them when they cannot see you.

Health placement starts off well, but when I got to a carelessly placed mojo flavoured pie, it made the game's difficult drop and made the game a ton of a lot easier.


One thing Jagger does well is make his games look pretty, and that's what he delivered with Pinkie Pie. Wherever I went there was lovely art to greet my eyes. Jagger even made art out of different type of polygons. The game may not deliver the best experience in some areas, but it surely did well aesthetically.


Pinkie Pie isn't exactly the most creative games. The part where you have to squeeze through the obstacles at the start I've never seen done before, but everything else had already been introduced into a game. I know that Jagger can create an action packed game which can keep us all entertained for a while, but I'd like to see him step up a stair (or crawl, if we are talking about me) and boost (are the best chocolate bars in my opinion) his creativity levels. If you need help jagger, I've always got a trick up my sleeve. -Wink wink-


Ratings:

Action: 3.5/5. Pinkie Pie has a decent amount of action, however some of it felt sloppy.


Puzzles and traps: 3/5. The game does not exactly have the best puzzles, but the traps were acceptable.


Placement: 3/5. Sloppy at times, but still had a decent amount of challenge with health.


Scenery: 4/5. This game looks wonderful, but it looks a bit messy and cramped at times.


Creativity. 1.5/5. Not exactly the best thing about the game. We'll work on this one though. ;)


*Overall:* 3/5


Conclusion:

In conclusion, Jagger should be banned for animal cruelty. I mean- Pinkie Pie did not quite save his friends. But overall, this game gets a 3/5 from me. Some may find this game rather enjoyable, like torturing ponies, and some may take this game to court, but people like me will think this game is nothing more than good. My suggestions? More creativity with your puzzles. That will boost your scores next time.


Feature worthy? Neigh (See what I did there?). This game needs better placement, more creativity and better puzzles.


I would suggest you to go play this game, but if you do not like to see ponies (that are dressed up as spaceships and other hideous monsters) torturing each other, then please leave immediately. By the way, don't try to bake a pie with ponies in it, it does not work well with animal rescue services.
