Sissy's Magical Ponycorns Invade the iPad

The absurdly adorable flash game finds its way to iOS.

If you haven't read our previous coverage of Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure, the excruciatingly cute browser game dreamed up by Untold Entertainment developer Ryan Henson Creighton and his five-year-old daughter/creative director Cassie, then this story's headline probably makes about as much sense to you as the ramblings of a man having a massive stroke. Feel free to read up before continuing on with this story.

That lemon is such a dick.
That lemon is such a dick.

Now that you have presumably spent the last 10 or 15 minutes cooing and squealing like a toddler in a Care Bear factory (an actual Care Bear factory, not the sweatshop where Care Bears are forced to manufacture rainbows and joy and greeting cards under the oppressive whip of their uncaring overlords at American Greetings), perhaps the news that Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure is now available to iPad owners everywhere is of some interest to you.

Retailing for $2.99, the game features all the same content as the browser version, minus any ads. While some may balk at the notion of paying a few dollars for an admittedly very short game they once played for free, I hereby invite you to look at this girl's face. Are you going to look at that face and tell her no, you won't buy her previously free-to-play game because it was previously free-to-play? Are you going to tell her that Ponycorns actually aren't that awesome and that $2.99 is too steep to have them on your iPad? If so, you're far stronger of will than I. And also a monster. A MONSTER.

If you're interested in contributing in other ways to the cause (funds previously donated to the game go directly to Cassie's education fund--over $3,000 has been raised thus far), there is also a gang of Ponycorn-related merchandise up on Untold's website, including some rather pricey plush toys, and a couple of pretty great t-shirts. Seriously thinking of grabbing that "I Am An Evil Lemon!" shirt, myself.
