A somewhat-unique concept brought about in a enjoyably playable state.
Friendship can't be cloned feels like a bullet hell without the bullets, however I can't say I agree with the author's style choice.
Starting with the game play, the player controls Fluttershy, who is orbited by blades that act as her one and only attack. This is not a hindrance, as it makes up the backbone of the experience; playing a haphazard game of keep away with large, intricate enemies made up of many segments, and a core. These pieces can harm you, which floods the Fluttershy sprite with red. You can also collect two powerups, one that increases your blade's length (And I assume damage?) and the other transforms Fluttershy into a vampire of sorts.
This is where it becomes a bit more vague, the vampire powerup only seems to illuminate one level and if it did something else, I feel like it was either negligible, or hard to discern. Gameplay, while not stiff, is short and it is sometimes difficult to tell how close to dieing you are, as there are no health bars.
I will praise the game for having fantastic enemies to fight, complex and a noticeable amount of care and love was put into making them (Albeit sometimes seeming cluttered), and the level backgrounds had a sort of new-age abstract-ism to them that fit the gameplay and music well.
The one point I'm not too thrilled about is the lack of creativity with player character design or story. While the multiple endings were a good touch, I feel like the My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic Characters were completely and utterly out of place, if not unnecessary to the game's short lived exposition. New, unique, and original characters could have been used for the same purpose and the game could have gotten more attention without the pseudo fanfiction.
Bottom Line: Friendship can't be cloned is a enjoyable game in of itself that is only bogged by a lack of a static health bar and a little hit detection issues that make the game feel weightless as it calculates damage. A lack of a more original storyline may put off some users, but it won't stop everyone.
3/5 stars.
