Penny's Big Breakaway Is A Gorgeous 3D Platformer From The Sonic Mania Team

I was already loving the look of this, and then they said its from the Sonic Mania Team? SOLD.

This looks really good actually. reminds me of the N64 platformers (which were my bread and butter) so I will wait on reviews but I am very interested. Edit: the more I look at this, the better it looks (looks to have good shadow placement to boot), please be good!

I hope this one is good, because it looked promising.

This might be the most underrated announcement of the Direct

I was really captivated by the bright, bubbly look and feel of the game on first glance.
But once revealed that it's developed by the Sonic Mania team? It became a mandatory purchase for me. Day 1.

I'm happy for the Sonic Mania. Glad that they can use their resources to make new content. This is, what we need, new concepts and characters.

Hm, this one actually might be up my alley. I just hope it gets a physical release at some point. And HOPEFULLY not a limited one at that either. Limited Run Games...?

I'm lookin' at you...

I will definitely keep an eye on this.

Looks awesome! Definitely waiting for reviews.

Was excited to see this but I've been let down by most 3D games of late, Yooka-Laylee, Balen, so I'll wait and see.

This game looks pretty solid, I may go for it. I still have lots of other platforming games to jump through though, hah...

@rjejr Yooka Laylee was not nearly as bad as Balan and you know it.

Honestly this surprised me, looks great, not a big fan of the character design though, could have been better, so unfortunately I see this game being a hidden forgotten gem in the future like many of the N64 platformers that were good but without a memorable protagonist.

The movement options of this platformer looks amazing, its so unique but yet ties in with the character so well being tricks on his Yo-yo.

The bad character design gets in the way of what looks like a very fun game here.

Ollie didn't say it so it's worth mentioning that it's a multiplatform release for the multiplatform readers here.

Looks like the game with the skeleton has been canceled, but this might be even better. Lovely stuff.

Sonic Superstars looks also great in my opinion but is sadly made by Arzest. Arzest doesn't have the greatest track-record but it still looks promising.

don't think this looks good

You had me at 3D platformer!

I thought this looked pretty solid but my excitement for it has been stifled from the Super Mario Bros Wonder announcement. I was blown away by that one!

I was sold on the game before even hearing it was being made by Sonic Mania devs. It has such a Sega Saturn/Dreamcast energy to it, that I can't help but be drawn to it.

Gameplay will always hold higher priority over graphics, but aesthetics can do a lot to make a mechanically solid game that much better~

I was already liking this game, but hearing it's FROM THE SONIC MANIA DEVS?!

DAY. FRIGGIN. ONE.

might me the one i'm looking forward to the most, just looks fun

An unexpected surprise, interested to see more of this..

I thought it was curious that I seemed so interested in a random 3D platformer, but if it's made by the Mania team, now it makes sense

Looks quite alright, making sure to remember this one.

I honestly don’t need much more incentive, I love the artstyle, animation, and it’s by the mania team? Heck yes.

Gameplay looks very fun and I definitely want to support the Sonic Mania devs, but not really feeling the character design.

@IronMan30 No, Y-L wasn't as bad as Balan, but it looked a lot better at the start, and we heard a lot more about it, then I got it, and world 1 was really good, then 2 was ok, then 3 and 4 were awful and 5 wasn't even a world, it just was. Balan I knew from the start wasn't going to be great, it was just worse than that.

3D world games are difficult to pull off for most companies it seems, so when I see small indies attempt it I worry. This does look good, but I'll wait.

Day 1 buy. Scrimbo Bimblos are back baby

If it's coming from the same team as Sonic Mania, I'm on for it.

Looks fun! The whole thing sort of reminds me of Balan Wonderland, but hopefully it doesn't go down the same road haha

Anytime I see a new 3D platformer I get excited. I'm still going to wait for the reviews and see how the game turns out. But it's on my radar.

First Sonic Mania team showed how to make a 2D Sonic game and now they're showing how to make a 3D Sonic game work. Or what Balan Wonderworld should have been.
It looks good, even though I don't like the genre that much.

This game has the feel of an older SEGA 3D Platformer of the 2000s, which I'm sure the Sonic Mania team was going for. I'll keep this one on my radar for sure, love that art style and the character designs. Gameplay looks tight too

It's driving me crazy that no one is saying "this looks like a 3D Treasure game," so I'll say it.
This looks like a 3D Treasure game.

This actually looks really cool! I fell out with the Sonic series years ago now, but Christian Whitehead and Evening Star are a very talented group of developers. This is definitely on my radar.

@Mauzuri

Well, I think Sonic superstars will at least be decent. But we'll see.
