My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (video game)

My Little Pony: Magic Princess, known as My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic from release until shortly after, and My Little Pony until some time between April and September 2017, is a 2012 video game developed and published by Gameloft for iOS/iPadOS and Android and based on the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Targeting children aged 5 to 12, it was released on November 8.

The game starts with Twilight Sparkle asking the player to help her rebuild her hometown of Ponyville after it had fallen into the shadow of the villainous Nightmare Moon. To do so, the player uses in-game currency and other collected treasures to build homes to bring more ponies to the town, as well as to build buildings that are either decorative or generate more currency and treasures. Mini-games can be used to build the skill level of each pony, which in turn lets said pony give more rewards in certain minigames. Though primarily played as a single-player game, players can visit their friends' versions of Ponyville, and also leave and accept gifts to help their own village. Certain minigames also utilise the friends-list to get percentage bonuses on rewards. This game is guided by a quest and experience system. While Gameloft had developed the game towards the show's target audience of young girls, they also include nods to the adult fandom of the show.

Despite being generally well-received, the game was criticized as exemplifying the underlying nature of freemium games where either the player must spend real money, feed their pony or wait for a very long period of time in order to join the game.

The Windows version stopped its development at the 1.8.6 version, but was still available to download and play up until October 2023. The Facebook version of the game was up to date with the iOS and Android versions, but eventually shut down in October 2023 as well due to some cloud save files issues and due to the fact Gameloft decided to discontinue their official Facebook page for the game and continue on Instagram.
