    I don't know where else to put this so GD is the best bet.

    Anyway, I need everypony's help. I am constructing a Game Design Document for a class I have and in it, I have laid out a possible game. I'm going to be upfront and say this is only an idea and may be nothing more, but if something comes out of it, all the better.

    Long story short, it is a pony game, a-la Mario Party. As such, I need help in figuring out SEVERAL mini-games. Note though they all need to be one player mini-games as I'm being forced to make it for the Windows 7 Phone.

    All I need from you, should you choose to help, is the game's name and how to play the game. Any further details you wish give is purely up to you, but the more the better of an idea I have for it. Otherwise, I will work with what you give me and go from there. I'd prefer if these were relatively quick and easy, but if they take a minuet or two, that's okay too.

    Any and all help fellow bronies can give will help greatly. Should this go past paper, I will give credit to each person for any ideas I use.

    Thanks in advance,
    Al Cove

    Oh fun =D
    Oh-K. Hmm.
    Pacman-esque game?
    Hide and and go s/peek!
    Ehh... A snake like game?
    You gotta clear Apple Acres of fallen apples! Don't hit the trees!

    What would be interesting for a Pony game (IMO) is a tohou styled game like Embodiment of Scarlet Devil but that might be pushing it.

    hmm, what about:
    - a quick galaga styled game - parasprites are the enemies.
    - a pac-man styled game like suggested by Grey
    - a small adventure game with spike looking for rarity under ground in diamond dog's labrynth.
    - or even a shooter like gradius.

    I love the rarity idea and I think a space invaders/galaga idea would be easily feasible

    Thanks for the ideas. I've got a couple in mind but these have helped me a bit.

    There are looooaaaaads of really quick filler ones you could create, though if it's the quality, rather than quantity of the games, then ignore this.

    Spam the touch screen game: You have a picture of a pony (randomise it each time?) on the left, you have to spam the touch screen of an item of food (apple, pie, sugar cube, hay - all depending on what style of pony you're using). You have a time limit of 5 seconds, and as you tap the food gets worn away and the pony gets animated as it eats. Pretty simple game, but you could make it really good looking if you animate the objects well, just make it look bright and colourful! Sounds effects never go amiss either. :)
