❤ Maintaining Momentum Through Innovative Platforming

Players take control of Penny, a street performer, and use her magical yo-yo to traverse vibrant, obstacle-filled levels. The game's core mechanic revolves around chaining together the yo-yo's versatile movement options, such as swinging, dashing, and riding it like a wheel. Reviews praise this momentum-based 3D platforming, stating that once players master the controls, the experience becomes incredibly satisfying and rewarding, allowing them to zip through levels with precision and style.

❤ Mastering a High-Skill Ceiling

Reviewers note that the platforming in Penny's Big Breakaway has a steep learning curve, as it takes time to fully grasp the dual-stick control scheme and different yo-yo techniques. However, those who invest the effort are rewarded with a deep, technical movement system that offers a wealth of expression and optimization potential. The game encourages replaying levels to improve times and scores, as mastering the yo-yo's capabilities is key to achieving faster, more stylish runs.

❤ Innovative Dual-Stick Controls

One of the game's central gameplay innovations is the ability to independently control Penny and her yo-yo using the dual-stick scheme. Reviews highlight how this mechanic adds a new layer of depth to the platforming, as players can use the yo-yo to slingshot themselves, grapple onto platforms, and even ride it like a wheel to gain speed and momentum. These unique controls, when combined, allow for a high skill ceiling and a lot of creativity in how players approach each challenge.

❤ Diverse Level Design

The levels in the game are praised for their variety and emphasis on momentum-based platforming. Each world features its own distinct aesthetic and introduces new gameplay elements and obstacles for players to overcome. Reviewers note that the levels are designed to encourage chaining the yo-yo's abilities, with sections that flow together seamlessly when played with skill and precision.
