MLP Tycoon shares the basic money-earning gameplay system with other tycoon games. The game starts you off with some Cash, which can also be collected through fixed spawns across the map. You can use this money to hire Ponies and start earning more Gems through the tycoon.

As you earn more Cash, you can step on the corresponding pressure plates to purchase upgrades. The more upgrades you purchase for the tycoon, the higher your income rate becomes. You may also purchase decorative items and invite various MLP characters to reside in your base.

Invest your Cash wisely to expand your base and add a Barn, a second floor, and a second tycoon to the structure.

Building your tycoon

With the first few free upgrades, you will start earning money at a slower rate. The money you earn can be collected from the button next to the sign near the entrance. This Cash can be invested in various ways, but the best way to approach the development of your tycoon is to prioritize tycoon upgrades.

Hiring more Ponies and getting better upgrades lets you earn thousands of Cash each second, giving you plenty of money to invest in decorations. This has the added benefit of not having to wait an excessively long time before getting the next item or upgrade.

In a little while, you will have your base fully upgraded and firing on all cylinders, earning you tens of thousands of Cash.

Once your tycoon is ready, you can play as one of the Ponies. The controls change slightly, but the overall gameplay loop remains unaffected. This is a great roleplaying tool that you can use with your friends to create unique scenarios.

Combat

The game features a rudimentary combat system, unlocked by stepping on the weapon pressure plates. Weapons like the Rainbow Katana can be used to go to other players’ tycoons and engage them in combat. They can also be used to defend yourself from such invaders.

Use the Left Mouse Button to perform a swing with a melee weapon or shoot the spell where the reticle points. Player HP pools are not particularly high, so combat encounters don’t typically last long.
