Ryan Henson Creighton took his 5-year-old daughter Cassie to TOJam and together they created Sissy’s Magical Ponycorn Adventure. Such heights of adorableness are rarely encountered. You can read all about this cute collaboration here.

I actually hurt myself a little bit laughing so hard at this game (specifically, by choking). It's short and easy, so everyone, go play it now… pweeeeze!

I was there! I saw that game. I commented on the great graphics. I didnt get the chance to play it… yet!

Totally bursting with inspiration.

This is really great. The only complaint I have is that the puzzles are too simple, but this might simply be because the premise was created by Sissy as well (though I suspect she was repeating the dialogue rather than making it up herself).
I would very much like to see more games like this executed with more substantial puzzles and more complex environments to explore, but with the concepts and art pulled from a child's imagination.

My name is Snow and I “friggin” like Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure. Simply adorable.
They are two very funny adventure games done in scribbles and broken english and it is based on some comics done in the same exact style. The original comics are as hilarious as they are confusing.
Also, the music in these games are awesome C64 tracks stolen from real c64 games :)

Now I guess I have no excuses not to get off my arse (well, not literally in this case) and do the collaboration my daughter wants to do, with a dinosaur eating things.
If I don't hurry up about it, her artwork will be “too good” and it will end up looking like a regular indie game… she's already scary-good.
Snow
Do it. Do it now!!

Does she really say “friggin”? Yeah, the dialogue seems fairly adult-directed.

LOL! This game rocks! So cute! Grand idea to have her do the graphics as well as the voices!!
