Poor Willy. Trapped in a sinister circus, his only hope of seeing his family is to run and jump his way past an array of deathtraps while being cheered on by a sadistically bloodthirsty crowd.

God is a GeekNicola ArdronSep 20158/10A fiendishly difficult 2d arcade-style platformer that will have you simultaneously shouting at the telly with rage and delight.
ImpulsegamerJames Wright (Impulsegamer)Sep 20154.2/5If you have a heart condition or easily have bouts of rage, then you might want to get your gaming enjoyment elsewhere because Penarium can be very tough. Even so, Penarium is a very well designed game that successfully ticks all the right boxes for an enjoyable arcade experience with lots of twists and turns for the player to successfully immerse you into this crazy psycho circus.

DestructoidAlissa McAloonOct 20158/10The game is difficult, but I haven't found myself so lovingly furious with a game since Spelunky. It works well within the scope of its own mechanics to create a game that stays consistently challenging, without ever feeling truly impossible.

Slant MagazineAaron RiccioSep 20153/5 stars[I]t's disappointing that Penarium feels so fatigued and repetitious by the third and final act, especially since it's scarcely even a two-hour game.

Digitally DownloadedOct 20153/5 starsPenarium benefits from good level design and simple mechanics that are the definition of 'easy to learn but difficult to master.' The setting for the game is a devilishly entertaining one, and Penarium is challenging without feeling cheap, which makes it a great deal easier to be forgiving of the game's difficulty curve.
