Penny’s Big Breakaway

Penny is a street performer auditioning to become one of Emperor Eddie’s court performers. After a Cosmic String transforms her yo-yo into a living creature, she must clear her name, evade the emperor’s penguin army, and investigate the strange string. Guide Penny through 3D stages using her yo-yo to swing, ride, dash, and perform tricks. Carry momentum between moves and chain them into combos as you cross platforms, use stage mechanisms, evade penguins, and help characters you meet along the way. Snack power-ups temporarily give Yo-Yo additional abilities. Story Mode scores your performance through combos and other stage activities. Collect coins and Show Pieces, complete optional tasks, and pursue faster runs; coins can be exchanged for bonus items, secret stages, and other unlockables. Time Attack offers a speedrunning mode with leaderboards.

A street performer and her living yo-yo flee penguin pursuers in a momentum-driven 3D platformer built around tricks and combos.
