Pony Trails

Summary
Take your pony on a trail ride and snap pictures of the animals you encounter.

Game Design
Realistic-ish 3D.

Gameplay
The player chooses their mount from 12 different horse breeds (or unicorn or zebra) and then can go on a ride through different landscapes with multiple paths, either by day or night. On the way coins can be collected as well as occasional equipment items. Main part however is, to snap as many good pictures of the roaming wildlife as possible. The closer one gets, the better the rating (up to three stars). Sounds can give a clue to a nearby animal. Some are easy to spot, others can be difficult to find or get a good shot of because of their speed or camouflage. If you get a good shot, the picture will go in the album. "Lucky" animals are sparkling and thus easier to spot. Good photos of them will give extra coins at the end of a ride. With each ride the horse will get dirtier and after three rides at the latest you have to wash it and pick it's hooves (well, one hoof). The daily quests award additional coins and give hints as to which animals and equipment can be found that day. Coins can be spend on equipment (saddle, bridle, pad) or new horses. Coins can also be bought for real money or earned by watching advertisements.

Riding Mechanics
The horse can be steered by tilting the mobile device. It is possible to go for a brief gallop by shaking the device or touching the horse symbol after some cooldown time.
