Premise
Derpy Hooves has to defeat Queen Chrysalis in ranged combat. Armed with an autoatic muffin launching cannon with infinite rounds, the player has to guide Derpy away from Chrysalis's deadly attacks as well as help her fire her muffin cannon at the changelig queen. If Derpy is hit ten times, she falls out of the air and her charred body is shown on-screen with the game over sign.

Gameplay/Features
Derpy movement can be controlled with either the 'WASD' keys or the arror keys. The player can press the spacebar to shoot, and can hold it down for automatic fire. As Chrysalis's health decreases, her variety of attacks increase.

Chrysalis's attacks

 * Chrysalis's first attack type is a burst of energy circles that will follow Derpy's movements. In order to be effectively avoided, the player must move Derpy out of the way at the last moment.


 * Chrysalis's second attack type is a fountain of crackling energy shperes that burst out of her horn. They arc towards the bottom of the screen after being fired upwards.


 * Chrysalis's third attack type is a volley of small burst of energy that are fired in all directions in one of three different circular patterns. The player is geven a warnign to the upcoming attack several seconds before it happens when Chrysalis charges her horn.


 * Chrysalis's fouth attack type involves her firing a green star that will hover in an area of the screen before exploding into the execution of her thrid attack type. Chrysalis will continue to attack after placeing the stars, and as she gets more damaged, she will place more of the stars.

The game also features a hidden easter egg where if the player enters the Konami Code during gameplay, derpy will fly up off-screen to drop a potted plant, an anvil, a wagon, and a piano onto Chrysalis's head. A screen with a picture of a guilty looking Derpy is shown with the words "Oops! My bad." written across the top.
