About Pony Dash
Thank you for playing Pony Dash! We hope you enjoy it and won't let its sheer addictiveness consume your life... too much.
How to Play
Pony Dash device to move your pony left or right as it runs through the environment. Your goal is to collect as many easter eggs as you can to get the highest score before losing both hearts. Avoid enemies and other obstacles to last as long as you can each round.
You can tap the screen at any moment to pause the game. The pause screen will also show you the items you've unlocked so far.
Easter Eggs
Collect these to increase your score. If you collect them sequentially (try your best not to miss any!), you'll get significantly more points
Candy (or equivalent themed items) give you points, but don't give any bonus points for collecting them sequentially (combos). Rather, candy are worth more depending on how long you've lasted in the round.
Items
Items are unlocked when you reach specific score thresholds (10k, 20k, 50k, 70k). When you pick them up during a game, they provide a score bonus as well as an effect that will help you last longer in the round. Items unlocked in easy mode do not show up in medium or hard mode.
Checkpoints
Last long enough and you'll cross a checkpoint. You'll earn 3,000 points every time you cross a checkpoint, and even more starting on your fifth checkpoint in a single round. Your pony will run faster every time you cross a checkpoint (making the game harder) so earn as many points as you can before reaching them!
Things to Avoid
Avoid all of the following enemies and obstacles (as well as equivalent themed objects)
Flying Ponies
These enemies move towards you and will cost a heart if you they manage to touch you. These little guys will be the source of most of your pony frustration.
Fences
If you touch a fence, whether it was intentional or on accident, you lose both of your hearts and the game is over. The only exception is if you pick up the Invincibility or Destroy On Contact items and their effects are still active. In easy mode, you lose only one heart.
Sand Pits
Running over these will cost you a heart. Note that when you pick up the destroy On Contact item, this is the only obstacle that can still deal you damage.
Dragon
Don't let their big, cuddly looks fool you. Running into these guys will not only cost you a heart, but some hard-earned points as well.
Reasons to Play
Compete for the highest score to prove something to yourself.
Play to unlock all of the in-game items, and THEN compete to satisfy your ego.

The controls are easy, but avoiding obstacles aren't. And I'd like to be able to CUSTOMIZE a character.
