“Great platformers are iconic in our industry, and we think
Penny’s Big Breakaway stands out as a truly unique and
incredibly fun entry in such a beloved genre,” said Christian
Whitehead, Creative Director at Evening Star. “We have been
thrilled with the fan response of Penny’s Big Breakaway so
far and can’t wait to see the leaderboards light up as players get
into the game.”
Penny’s Big Breakaway provides non-stop action as you try
to escape the impending penguin horde at every turn. These
waddling, avian adversaries will burst from walls, rush over
cliffs, and attempt to dogpile you to stop your progress. But don’t
fret -- Penny is an agile and acrobatic aerialist. You will jump,
spin, and ride over a variety of brightly colored and complex
terrains, featuring steep ramps, sharp ledges, massive cliffs, and
more. Every obstacle is an opportunity to increase your speed,
allowing you to use the environment to your advantage and gain a
bit of breathing room from those flightless assailants in hot
pursuit. Momentum is key, because in addition to Story Mode,
Penny’s Big Breakaway also includes a Time Attack Mode,
where you can try and achieve the perfect run and set high scores
on the leaderboard for the world to see.
Penny isn’t the only star of this show: her trusty partner
Yo-Yo, while largely to blame for causing this chase, provides
plenty of abilities to assist in your getaway. Throughout the game,
you can unlock tasty treats which her Yo-Yo can snack on. When
consumed, these delicious items will temporarily unlock new power
ups such as increased movement speed, a protective shield, and many
more. In addition to powerups, Penny’s Yo-Yo can pick up various
single-use tools, which can be used to bust down walls revealing
secret treasure or magnetically attach to new surfaces for greater
exploration. Her versatile Yo-Yo might be hungry for chaos, but it
could also be just the trick to clear her name and absolve her of
this massive mix-up.
“The team of developers at Evening Star have a strong track
record in creating incredible platforming experiences, and with
Penny’s Big Breakaway they’ve created an entry into the
genre that’s nonstop fun with broad appeal,” said Rachael Berkman,
Producer at Private Division. “From platforming enthusiasts to
adamant speedrunners alike, we think Penny will capture the hearts
of players around the world.”
Penny’s Big Breakaway is available now for the Nintendo
Switch family of systems, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Penny’s Big Breakaway is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
