7The game itself is short and simple, but its MultipleEndings make it worth replaying.
8----
9!!This game provides examples of:
10* BadassAdorable: Jade is a cute little filly, and in the best ending, [[spoiler:she takes down a dragon in a dogfight]].
11* {{Creepypasta}}: [[spoiler:The 'Blank Flank' ending.]] shows traces of this genre, most notably the game [[MoodWhiplash suddenly turning horrifying]], with specific elements including [[spoiler:Zecora's eyes turning completely blank, staticy transitions, slowed down music, and shadowy ponies who dismember Luna and Jade, the latter of whom comes back to life and attacks Twilight [[JumpScare in a startling fashion]].]] What is interesting here is that, unlike many other fan games of this nature, the game itself can very much remain light-hearted from start to finish in some endings, with the creepypasta elements relegated to an optional ending that you have to go out of your way to find.
12* DarkFic: Played with. The game has an [[spoiler: infamously bleak ending the "Blank Flank" ending]] but this is optional and requires going out of your way to find and achieve it. Most of its darker elements are related solely to said ending, and it can be played from start to finish as an overall lighted-hearted game, with two more light-hearted endings that can be accomplished.
13* FreezeFrameBonus: One of Rarity's dialogues can only be read this way.
14* ForgotAboutTheirPowers: [[spoiler: Luna is an Alicorn; a pony with near god-like levels of magic power and yet she cannot seem to do anything to escape he Everfree forest nor successfully fight off the "Bloody Hooves" that are going after her, instead crying and solemnly waiting for her end. Though it's possible, given the nature of the forest, there is some sort of magical curse or something in play stopping her from escaping. Its worth noting Jade can try to leave the forest but will find she is unable to do so in gameplay. ]]
15** In the better endings, [[spoiler: None of the main characters or other ponies in town seem to be able to fight off the dragon that attacks, despite the fact the Mane 6 have fought off far worse during the show, including on their own. Surely everyone in town working together with the Mane 6 might be able to pull off something instead of leaving it to a filly. ]]
16* GenreShift: [[spoiler:The 'Blank Flank' ending turns into straight {{Horror}}. Additionally, this ending was inspired by the VideoGame/LunaGame.]]
17* JumpScare: [[spoiler:A particularly effective (and literal) one at the end of the 'Blank Flank' ending, where Jade suddenly lunges at Twilight, with a close up of her bloodied face while a loud scream plays]].
18* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:[[PhysicalGod Luna]] ends up meeting [[KillTheGod a terrible fate]] in the 'Blank Flank' ending, and that fate is dismemberment.]]
19* MultipleEndings: Three of them, in varying degrees of seriousness.
20** [[GoldenEnding Super Filly Ending]]: Achieved by talking to everypony enough to receive an invitation and use the correct ingredients for the muffin. [[spoiler:The ponies have their party, but a dragon attacks, and Jade fends it off. The ponies celebrate her victory and continue the party in peace.]]
21** Muffin Ending: Achieved by using the incorrect ingredients for the muffin and talking to at least Applejack and Derpy. [[spoiler:Derpy enjoys the spoiled muffin and Jade receives a Muffin Cutie Mark. The dragon attacks like in the Super Filly Ending, but Jade is too concerned about getting Twilight to try her muffins to help. After Ponyville burns down and is rebuilt, a new muffin shop opens, of which Derpy is the only customer to regularly visit since the other ponies get sick soon after.]]
22** [[EarnYourBadEnding Blank Flank Ending]]: Achieved by first [[spoiler:completing all the tasks for the other endings and talking to everypony, and also playing between 11:00pm and 6:00am and going back to Zecora. Zecora, now with black eyes, tells Jade to go back, but she enters the Everfree Forest anyway. She gets trapped inside and meets Luna, who was banished there and had an encounter with "the bloody hooves". As Jade ventures deeper into the woods, she discovers the creatures that Luna talked about, who are shadowy red-eyed ponies who eventually dismember Luna and Jade. Twilight ventures into the forest to look for her new friend, only for Jade, who has become one of the "bloody hooves", to lunge at and presumably kill her.]]
23* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:The shadowy ponies in the Everfree Forest who dismember other ponies (and Jade after she turns into one of them) all have glowing red eyes.]]
24* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Minor. In the intro, the sentence starting with "However, all filly's are born..." uses "filly"'s contracted form instead of its plural form.
25* ShoutOut:
26** There's quite a few references to ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'', such as Pinkie asking player character Jade if she wants to make cupcakes with her, Twilight referring to a book called 'Cupcakes' (which Jade insists she shouldn't read), and Pinkie musing on the purpose of a 'hacksaw' and claiming she's seen an 'eevil' version of herself in the mirror.
27** [[spoiler:The text after Jade is killed by the shadow ponies in the Blank Flank ending is "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" which comes from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', but is more specifically a reference to ''WebVideo/BenDrowned'' (where it appears prominently) due to the ending's {{Creepypasta}} nature.]]
28* TalkToEveryone: You need to finish the whole conversation with each character in the game to get one of the endings. For the normal ending, you only need to talk to the characters long enough to give them their invitations. Averted for the remaining ending, where you can talk to only two characters, ignoring all the others, and still finish.
29* UnexpectedShmupLevel: Most of the game is an adventure game where you mainly talk to other characters, but [[spoiler:the fight against the dragon in the best ending]] turns into a 2D ShootEmUp.
30* TheVirus: [[spoiler:It's implied that the shadow ponies in the Blank Flank ending turn ponies that they kill into one of them, since the first one says "One of us..." to Jade and while we don't see Luna after her death, Jade after her death becomes a bloodied, shadowy, red-eyed version of herself, much like the aforementioned shadow ponies, and she lunges at Twilight upon noticing her, presumably subjecting her to the same fate that the shadow ponies inflicted on her.]]
