In the fan game Banned from Equestria, bucking apples is an essential task that players need to complete. The process mimics the typical apple bucking seen in My Little Pony, where characters like Applejack use their strength to knock apples down from trees. In this game, players are required to approach apple trees, time their actions, and click at the right moment to “buckle” the apples.
The goal is to harvest apples as efficiently as possible within a set time frame, avoiding obstacles and ensuring the apples fall into the right collection zones. Bucking apples serves as both a challenge and a task for progression in the game, contributing to the overall experience as players explore the world and advance through different stages.
