Hardcore Homebrew: Ponies and Kittens v1.0

Posted Aug 28, 2006 at 6:52PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Games Tags: hardhat, Ponies and Kittens

Hardcore, baby.

If there's one thing that's more hardcore than single-handedly taking down a mob with machine guns or Xtreme racing, it's gotta be this game.

What's it about? Ponies and kittens.

HardHat has released version 1.0 of Ponies and Kittens, and it feels like one part platformer, and another part Lemmings. As his readme tells us,

You are a pink pony, who is charged with the magical task to find kittens and pair them up. It won't be easy, you need to run and jump from platform to platform, pushing crates and hay bales into position, and taking elevators to reach the highest heights.

Seriously though, it's not exactly Grand Theft Auto and it certainly isn't Pong but it's quirky and cute, in its own way. It's as if you took a good program and decided to poke fun at the entire genre it was based on as an afterthought. Anyway, according to HardHat himself the game "is based on a random comment by Zezu on the IRC channel #pspdev that custom firmwares should include "dogs - no ponies and kitties." It was also made for an open source contest, so the code itself is under the revised BSD license and you can probably tweak it to not show ponies and kittens.

Of course, then we'd have to joke about you not being man enough for Ponies and Kittens. Enjoy!

# What the hell is wrong with the psp community!? — Guest 2006-08-28 16:03

I seriously mean that!

What the hell is wrong... Put yourselves in the skin of the developer who worked hard to accomplish this nice piece of homebrew!

If you were to put all the clichés aside and actually try to appreciate and enjoy this piece of fine homebrew or even just give constructive criticism... But no, it's just better and faster to spam out with useless and unmotivating comments.

Word of advice... Just put yourselves in the skin of the developers for one day and you'll see how hard it is... Oh and I'll be there to make the unworthy cr*ppy comments on your homebrew, just you get a feel for it.

Ontopic - I haven't tested it yet, But this does seem really good! Very creative and unique, that's for sure! I'll try to test this as soon as possible. If I find any bugs I'll also be sure to let you know... As this seems like the homebrew which is willing to be updated.

Keep up the great work!

And for all the jerks who commented with machist comments, as I said, try to understand both sides... Both yours' and the devs'

# hehe — Guest 2006-08-28 16:37

lol, this is so funny.

Not only is the game idea ridiculously funny but so is the article. Great stuff ;)

# Guest 2006-08-28 17:20

# Yeah, right — WC 2006-08-29 03:06

It's so great nobody could be bothered with screenshots, eh? Nice.

# @10 — Guest 2006-08-29 05:50

Dude, you're wasting your breath, n00bs don't have ears, they only respond to pretty colors and then flame the hell out of them

# Mr.Halo 1 & 2 — Guest 2006-08-29 08:02

Well, this isn't exactly the best thing for your psp if your a man, but if your a girl its a different story.
