Pony Island is a video game developed and published by Canadian indie developer Daniel Mullins. As a metafictional game, the game has the player interact with what appears to be an old arcade cabinet game called "Pony Island". The player soon discovers the game is corrupted by Lucifer himself, who is trying to claim the player's soul. The player is aided by the soul of a previous player who helps the player access Pony Island's internal programming to get around the traps left by Lucifer and save not only his soul, but the many tormented souls that are trapped within the game's code.
Runs well on modern hardware.

A bonkers narrative experience of meta nonsense and evil tickling butterflies. Also Louey is the coolest!
A fourth-wall shattering puzzle adventure with a distinct art style. The clear path is quite easy (except for that one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzle, you'll know it when you see it), but gets trickier if you want to find all the secrets, and I'd say it's worth doing so. Short and sweet. Well worth the price.
Pony Island is a great game. It may not be the longest or anything, but it is still a great time to play through, especially if you're willing to go for 100%. If you've already seen everything this game has to offer, I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to give it a go yourself, even if it can still be a fair bit enjoyable. However, if there's still things you've yet to see, I'd certainly recommend checking it out. Solid sprites, enjoyable music [spoiler]Beelzebub in particular is probably my #1 track from the game[/spoiler], and occasional funny moments. Yet another of my favorite games.
