The game features the adventures of protagonist Crystal Pony, who journeys to rescue her friends and stop an evil witch. It was created in hopes to attract little girls to the platform.[1]

Gameplay

The game has seven areas, each holding multiple secrets.[2] There are three difficulties - easy, medium, and hard. There is classical music featured throughout the game; especially Brahms' 4th Symphony.

Plot

The evil Storm Witch has cast a spell that imprisoned Crystal Pony's friends in her castle in order to rule Ponyland. The player's role is to collect crystals to free the ponies and defeat the witch once and for all, after which the ponies can live, finally, "happily ever after."
