<i>Luna Game</i> is a series of downloadable games created and posted by Ceremi to "[https://www.equestriadaily.com/ Equestria Daily]" on April 3rd, 2011. From the name of the game to the sprites used, the game is based on the popular show <i>[[wikipedia:My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]</i> (also known as G4 MLP:FiM). While the game looks simple and easy to understand, Luna Game spawned a series of games and even fanmade games with the last official installment being Luna Game End on February 19th, 2012. Yet, a common aspect of all the games is that the protagonist, [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Luna Princess Luna], goes through a series of obstacles and platforms that ends in a [[screamer]]. Said screamers are images depicting characters such as [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Apple_Bloom Apple Bloom] with a screaming audio clip relayed as a result. | |||

Released on April 3rd, 2011, the game starts with a custom-made Princess Luna model that slightly drops on a platform. The terrain remains the same as it is brown with green triangles looking downwards to signify grass accompanied by a navy blue background with white dots that are supposed to be stars. Meanwhile, an instrumental is played which is referred to as "Upbeat Pony Beats" in the application, though it is actually "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atnSTtiWU5E Evil Enchantress]" by Eurobeat Brony. With no introduction or instructions, the player is tasked with only progressing to the right using the arrow keys to either move left, right, or jump. | Released on April 3rd, 2011, the game starts with a custom-made Princess Luna model that slightly drops on a platform.

The images shown will not close until the player does it manually either through Task Manager or simply by powering off their device. Yet, that is not all as the user's desktop is now filled with pictures that were either the jumpscares themselves, screenshots of where the player was by the time the jumpscare happened, and text files will appear by reading "The end is neigh." It should be noted that the images and screenshots may also be labeled with "The end is neigh." It is not recommended to save the game to your desktop, as doing so will make deleting the files generated to be a slow, annoying process. | The images shown will not close until the player does it manually either through Task Manager or simply by powering off their device.

Released on May 30th, 2011, this version has slightly improved graphics, with Luna herself being noticeably smaller compared to her previous model. As usual, the player must move to the right, except this time they are told by black text that they can run by holding the shift key. In terms of the layout of the game, it is less platform-based, unlike the first game.

The world suddenly changes into a dark, red version of itself with what appears to be the sounds of a deep cave being played in the background. Additionally, the player's movement is now significantly reduced and they are no longer able to sprint. After a couple of seconds of walking, the player will encounter a dead end as there is a wall preventing any progress to the right. Yet, there is one visible peculiarity at the end, a big chasm on the ground. With no other option left but to descend into the abyss, Luna slowly falls as the background fades to black, including herself, revealing a game over screen with fanart of Luna falling while some disturbing music plays (actually music from the episode <i>Friendship is Magic Part 2</i>) with bloody text saying "YOU DIED." | ||
After a couple of seconds on the game over screen, the game will close by itself and, unlike the 1st game, will not add any files, screenshots, etc. to the PC. | After a couple of seconds on the game over screen, the game will close by itself and, unlike the 1st game, will not add any files, screenshots, etc. to the PC. | ||

Released on June 11th, 2011, it follows the same format with some slight differences. Aside from the forest setting and a catchy song that plays ("[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlVwxSfaYhs At the Gala (Finale Mix)]" by Eurobeat Brony at a slightly increased speed), the terrain is much flatter with small hills to jump on and no floating platforms.

After running to the right for a certain amount of time, the background music starts to slow down followed by static sounds, cutting off the music briefly before it changes to a slower, more sinister piece (actual music from the episode <i>Sonic Rainboom</i>), and every so often, audio clips of characters from the show speaking are faintly heard. Simultaneously, the world starts to darken as the player approaches a huge pit on the ground like the one in the second game. | ||
However, there is no wall blocking the right side, allowing the player to jump over the hole and continue walking right. Unfortunately, the level loops and leads to the same pit again, forcing the player to fall into the gap. It should be mentioned that jumping across the first gap will cause a loud audio clip of the character [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Fluttershy Fluttershy] screaming "COME OUT!!", taken from the episode | However, there is no wall blocking the right side, allowing the player to jump over the hole and continue walking right.

It should be mentioned that jumping across the first gap will cause a loud audio clip of the character [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Fluttershy Fluttershy] screaming "COME OUT!!", taken from the episode <i>The Best Night Ever</i>, to play, though nothing happens every other time. Of interesting note, the player will notice that Luna disappears for a quick second after crossing a threshold at which the looping begins. This is a bug and only signifies that the player has been looped back to the same hole. | ||
Whereas the second game was a slow descent with no ending jumpscare, this one ends abruptly with the same image of zalgofied Pinkie Pie used from the first game, with another loud audio clip of Fluttershy screaming "LOVE ME!!", also from | Whereas the second game was a slow descent with no ending jumpscare, this one ends abruptly with the same image of zalgofied Pinkie Pie used from the first game, with another loud audio clip of Fluttershy screaming "LOVE ME!!", also from <i>The Best Night Ever</i>. If the player were to fall down the hole for a second time after opening up the game again, the screen will flash with several images of zalgofied ponies, some of which are reused from the last two, with the same soundbite. When the screen changes back to normal, it cuts back to Luna's dismembered corpse where she opens her eyes, and this is followed by a dark close-up image of her mangled face with a loud shriek, closing the game after this. | ||

At that point, the game is now more reminiscent of the 1st game with the layout being platform-based. However, there is a catch, the player must run through the obstacles quickly before the darkness from the left side engulfs them. Yet, this is impossible to do as the player will reach a point in which they must perform a jump that is intentionally difficult to do, leading them to fall to their doom and allowing the darkness to catch up with Luna. It should be noted that if you get caught in the darkness before jumping into the pit, the screen flashes creepy fan art of Pinkie Pie with a scream before heading to the ending described below. | At that point, the game is now more reminiscent of the 1st game with the layout being platform-based.

After this, the screen goes back to the blue square part with a zalgofied version of the "You have met a terrible fate, haven't you..." text. But this is not the end, as for a short second, a messed up 8-bit song (a slow version of Zorggn's "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol8iBITKZ0w You Gotta Share]") starts to play while some glitchy blocks start to appear on the screen, forming a path that Luna must follow upward since to the right is a dead end. The higher you go, the darker the area gets. You must navigate back to the left, where Pinkie Pie briefly appears before vanishing, and then jump back down. To the surprise of the player, the darkness comes back almost immediately with the music speeding up accordingly, forcing them to only move right and never stop running. Eventually, Luna will come across the dead-end and as soon as she goes closer to it, Pinkie Pie appears with a maniacal smile and disappears alongside Luna.

After the encounter, a sound of a heartbeat can be heard while a screenshot of Pinkie Pie from the episode <i>Party of One</i> appears slowly. As the heartbeat gets louder, the image flashes a zalgofied version briefly with static before returning to normal and fading out; in addition, a message pops up saying "Luna Game 4.exe has stopped working" as Pinkie can be heard laughing, to which the player must close the program, ending the 4th Luna Game from there. | ||
On an important note, trying to reopen the game again regardless of the ending the player got will lead to a black screen with a caption that says "Your fate is already sealed...", meaning that the only way to play it again is to either install a Replay Program made for the game or to delete the game file and reinstall it. | On an important note, trying to reopen the game again regardless of the ending the player got will lead to a black screen with a caption that says "Your fate is already sealed...", meaning that the only way to play it again is to either install a Replay Program made for the game or to delete the game file and reinstall it. | ||

Released on August 15th, 2011, it begins with Luna spawning in [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Celestia Princess Celestia]'s castle. Some dialogue exchanges related to friendship are given to the player along with a new mechanic not present in the other Luna Games; they can interact with the other ponies by pressing the spacebar key when Luna is in front of them.

As such, the player can play one of six different levels, each with a different item to collect such as books for [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Twilight_Sparkle#Alicorn Twilight Sparkle], candy for Pinkie Pie, snowflakes for [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Rainbow_Dash Rainbow Dash], apples for [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Applejack Applejack], emeralds for [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Rarity Rarity], or carrots for Fluttershy.

However, there is a 50th item that must be collected which is a black and white version of the item. When the player touches it, the music halts to a loud boom.

The screen flashes white and an image of Luna in her "Nightmare Moon" form appears followed by her eyes glowing and flashing. The screen returns to where the player last stopped before the falling, but everything now has a reddish tint. When the player continues back to the previous area, some foreboding ambiance plays (again taken from Amnesia) as the ponies talk to Luna about how Pinkie Pie is looking for her. By the time the player reaches up to Pinkie Pie, she welcomes Luna and tells her how "you can never have too many parties!" As she continues to talk about parties, Luna is told by an ominous whisper that she must kill her to which it gets aggravated, and tells her to "KILL HER NOW!"

After a short second, the top half of her body begins sliding off and the game closes. To the player's dismay, the game opens again and displays a disturbing image of Pinkie saying "This Isn't Over" with the same loud "LOVE ME!!" soundbite from the third game, which stops the game shortly after. | ||

After the music stops, Luna is now in a white void with only a single black line as the ground below the player. When walking to the right, she encounters the 8-bit limbo sprites from Luna Game 4 where, if touched, it leads to the ground below them to vanish coupled with some strange noises that sound like muffled electrical sparks. Luna appears to land on an invisible floor and, if she continues going to the right, light blue blocks representing the sky and brown and green blocks representing the ground randomly appear which gradually generates a full grassland setting. After another few moments, a strange screech can be heard that causes the floor to disappear again, except this time the player falls and the blue sky turns into an empty, dark red sky. | After the music stops, Luna is now in a white void with only a single black line as the ground below the player.

If the player does not escape from the darkness, it will lead back to the next map. Yet, should the player manage to outrun it, several obstacles will appear to make it more difficult to run, thus leading to the same outcome if the player attempts to go to the end. | ||
Once caught, the player is shown Luna lying back down on the ground from the first scene where she took a nap, implying that it was a nightmare of sorts. After a moment, she stands up and starts to see some shadow ponies, all of which are the six main characters of the show as well as an unnamed child pony. For some of the ponies, dialogue can appear which is typically vague such as "From Ashes to Shadows..." while others simply pace back and forth.
