I bought my copy the second it dropped on Steam. Hoping this sells millions like it deserves, I want to see this become a franchise!

[@Danominator]

Turning yo-yo tricks into an entire 3D platformer moveset is the coolest idea I have seen from indie games thus far. And there have been a LOT of creative indies lately! Way to stand out above the crowd guys, you deserve your recognition.

[@Dtoons]

The art direction in this is so fun and unique!

[@erickmaverick3128]

Tell me about it! Very 90's! :)

[@DewMan31]

This is definitely the most unique Sonic Successor ive seen. In the case of Freedom Planet and Spark, rolling is a concept reserved for specific scenarios and characters, and they focus more on combat. Rollin Rascal has the most direct inspiration using rolling as a key mechanic. Penny using the yo yo as a means of accessing momentum is an amzing compromise, as your character can move with precision and consistency, while using the yo-yo trades that for momentum and speed. Its amazing every single time to see fans rise from their fan game origins to indie game hits. Freedom Planet started as a fan game, Spark the Electric Jester came after Sonic Before/After the Sequel and Chrono Adventure, and Rollin' Rascal comes from Sonic GT. Its great to see this legendary team join the ranks of these insanely talented fans, nurturing the fanbase with their own takes on momentum platforming. Let's all welcome Penny!

[@Pownchao]

I love this game so much already! The artstyle, the music, the FEEL! It’s all masterful!

[@helloIdontremembermyname]

Its the same composer as sonic mania

[@derple8524]

The moment they said "available now" I booked it out of my chair and ran to my switch, on world 4 now and I'm loving every second of this game. Thank you Evening Star/ Mania Team for this wonderful Creation you made

[@bluudevil4483]

Ya Got a good eye for talent lol

[@Lw8B00FF]

Even knowing about Penny's Big Breakway since was announced, buying games on launch day can be a bad idea, but this may be a rare exception. This looks really charming and fun.

[@Konic_and_Snuckles]

This feels like the Dreamcast 2 game that never was. Simply excellent.

[@SuperSonic68]

1:07 Ah, yes. The concept that has eluded Sonic Team for more than 15 years: going FASTER when ROLLING down a HILL. What a revelation.

[@Triple-Q]

I don't think we're doing anyone any favors by weaponizing games (especially indie ones) against Sonic. Let's just enjoy cool new games on their own merits 😀

[@teryliuhoo5989]

It’s tiring but damn you gotta move on with your life bro

[@bluudevil4483]

​​​​@@Triple-Qquiet lap dog, supersonic68 is absolutely right. it's justified to trash sonic team for giving fans that wanted a genuine 3D momentum based platformer after putting up with 2 decades of shit games with cringe dumb stories and bad game design. Mario was sonics competitor before the games started getting bad reception. Sega doesn't deserve any sympathy, they are a greedy corporation above all else. Sonic fans are goofy ride or die fanboys that will put up with mediocre games because of brand recognition alone, the truth is Sonic peaked during the 90s. I know it's a really Tough pill to swallow for fans of the franchise because they don't want to admit that 3D sonic clearly has an identity problem from everything gameplay to story. This weird obsession most fans have with accepting sonic as a franchise putting out mediocrity no matter what type of game is being advertised is why they keep making games that don't acknowledge or even remotely resemble what made sonic games appealing from it's inception post genesis era. the folks that seem to only play sonic games but have immense hatred for any other speedy based platformers just because it's not sonic clearly has mental issues. They care about Sonic as if the character is real and anything constructively negative Is brought up in discussion is sacrilegious. I've grown to realize Sonic is a dead GAMING franchise amongst general gamers but the fans will keep buying garbage games because it's more SANIC is just... pathetic. It's genuinely sad this is the current state of sonic as a gaming franchise because no other series seems to have this problem to my knowledge.

[@FunkySpaceAlien]

If any game has rolling down a hill as a minor mechanic, will you be there to make the same comment

[@MumblyJumbles]

@@Triple-Q Games are not immune to criticism and should be rightfully compared to works that do things right.

[@joemama2499]

Finished world 11 last night. 10/10. My only wishes are for a CRT filter and for an optional high contrast drop shadow under penny like in Crash 4 bc sometimes it’s hard to tell where she’s gonna land. But holy shit this game is QUALITY

[@xd_tyl3rgxrdn3r81]

Some of the postcard scores are brutal! Thanks for the challenge of mastering Penny's moveset and level layouts

[@sethebrown]

I knew at the first trailer that I’d have to buy this at launch. Just let me get my next check. And bauhaus as the main art design influence?!?! That’s wild.

[@Allplussomeminus]

Best video game purchase I've made in a while. Massive appreciation to the devs behind this game.

[@fat-gotenks]

This game is just excellent. Thank you!

[@Directsandarchive3020]

It's been a while since I've seen a game and thought, "I want to play that so bad!" Thanks for reinvigorating that feeling.

[@KamyKam]

Why does this look even more fun than I remember

[@xTroyScottx]

Love the r3 for yo yo. Makes me sad ape escape hasn't had anything new

[@kitterbug]

really enjoying this game so far, great work!

[@julianmitchell5776]

I bought two copies ! One on switch and one on ps5 . Everybody support this masterpiece so we can get sequels !!! And also maybe added level packs and new modes and stuff to this game !!!!

[@blashomin]

Is a good game?

[@julianmitchell5776]

Yes . I would 100% wholeheartedly call it a modern day masterpiece . And I just hope it doesn’t become one of those games that’s insanely good that just for whatever reason never becomes a franchise and never gets a sequel and just basically disappears . I really hope that doesn’t happen . . I mean sonic mania never got a sequel which sucks but they also had to deal with sega for that to happen . With this , it is 100% their own creation so it will be easy for sequels to happen . As long as this game makes money obviously

[@misterdedlift4879]

You guys should really consider making a more in-depth video explaining fluid gameplay. The basics are here but I keep landing all the time losing all my speed, and given the on-foot movement is as agile as a wheelbarrow I'd really appreciate a few insider tips to keep going fast.

[@lewa3910]

Peak gaming has arrived. Gonna be a close tie between this and Arzette for Goty 2024

[@kitterbug]

oh please, since when has GOTY cared about real passion and not wannabe movie games, it's up to all of us to make sure these games get the spotlight they deserve. better yet, up to indies and their players to keep the industry moving. I'd kill for another dozen games as beautiful as this one, and I bet it's already inspiring someone!

[@Argick]

Looking forward to diving into this!

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

11 WORLDS? Bruh I'm on world 6 and thought I was almost done LMAO I'm so in love this game right now and I'm pretty much ignoring trying to 100% it so I have an excuse to go back to it (other than just having fun trying to speedrun the levels and get high scores). I also haven't done any of those unlockable extra levels yet so I'm looking forward to those too!

[@juanvirseda139]

This game is delightful.

[@AviatorsVEVO]

if Metroid Prime Remastered, Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey & Mario 3D World can run at 60fps on Switch, I feel like this should be able to run at 60fps as well. need a patch for a performance mode with lowered detail & resolution at a locked 60fps... make that happen.

[@Drydoctor-qo5wt]

Does it not?

[@sausage5488]

Indie devs aren't Nintendo

[@kitterbug]

there's a reason why those games all run at 60fps on switch, they're first party, therefore more likely to have optimization. let's hope a patch releases someday soon!

[@AviatorsVEVO]

@@Drydoctor-qo5wt nope. 30fps on Switch.

[@AviatorsVEVO]

@@sausage5488 and? plenty of good looking 3rd party games running at 60fps on Switch.

[@BlueBlur_37]

I'm not exacly a "gamer" I play Sonic games because I like Sonic This is the FIRST game that ever made me think "oh shit I really want to play this"

[@jaotrx7163]

Praise the 3d platformer

[@sausage5488]

This trailer should have been in the direct, way more hype and people would understand what the game actually is better, but i guess that's budget issue

[@wallyrocket87]

🙏 Please be a physical release. I absolutely want to support this studio but I’m holding hope it will sell physically

[@Drydoctor-qo5wt]

I am looking forward to this so much

[@Xenon_XTH]

Gonna buy this shit on my switch

[@FectoMemoria]

First chance I get, I'm buying

[@chaoscommentz4582]

hope the accolades trailer's description is this "For our first game, we did well enough to get some Reviews in by some Critics, see what they got to say about our debut title, besides, you might wanna pick this up someday..."

[@charlesthegreendragon8779]

Easy day one buy

[@coltonk.3086]

This looks amazing.

[@metalsonic8888]

I love that this game exists, and I truly hope it does well. But I do genuinely have a hard time looking at it. I usually don't have this problem, but it's just way too saturated. I don't want a return to Xbox 360 era gritty brown games, but this one has gone much too far in the other direction

[@joechill6327]

Haven't seen any pennies so far, a little disappointing. Otherwise, lotta fun.

[@redblazinghood]

I hope there will be physical edition.

[@Gunkwave]

The darksouls of platformers

[@kenneld]

I'm finding the controls in this game to be pretty difficult to get used to. Using the twin sticks for movement and the yo-yo and pressing the bumper to jump feels weird. This was helpful though.

[@averagefez]

Oh so control-wise it's a little like Ape Escape. Good to know.

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Yes, when you consider the stick controls the yo-yo.

[@adriaanjacobs5073]

Only comparison is it’s a 3D platformer but the momentum gameplay makes it very different from Ape Escape.

[@ponceponte4416]

I hope they can fix the switch version (soooooo many bugs and even in 2-1 there is missing textures)

[@Annihilator27]

When’s the soundtrack dropping!?

[@MPW504]

Is there a place to report bugs? I’ve encountered one and idk where to submit it-

[@Gentenstation]

Any chance of a physical release with Limited Run or someone?

[@dollmasterhong]

Can this game be played with a computer keyboard?

[@MrThankman360]

I can see @NitroRad covering this one

[@Allplussomeminus]

0:42 *after defeating world 3 boss

[@PikaPhantomVG]

Shame you guys couldn't get this running at 60fps on Switch, especially after the reveal trailer in the June Direct was that smooth. At least it's incentive to finally try and use my gaming laptop more

[@sausage5488]

Is the game really 30?

[@mrbillywhite]

I note that in the accessibility info on the Xbox store it says there is "single stick gameplay" but this video seems to indicate otherwise - can anyone confirm the control options available? I have an accessibility issue with my hand that hinders my gameplay in some games so just looking for clarification before I buy! Thank you :)

[@verkhvo]

You can use either the right stick or the X button + left stick to aim the yo-yo. It shouldn't be a problem if you can use the face buttons. Additionally, you can jump and roll using both shoulder and face buttons.

[@historicspaghettimonster7251]

Can confirm there is a simplified controller scheme available as well!

[@Gus-68_]

Can I have a free download code please 🙏

[@wolfan20]

Se the camera is in a fixed state?.

[@JaeliusFairmout]

yeah and the camera positions are really optimized, like Mario 3D World

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

pog

[@AviatorsVEVO]

also, I want to make a game on this Star Engine... I don't think you guys license it out. how would I go about doing that?

[@Preston.Cutting]

Watch and learn sonic team.

[@lewa3910]

Please put on ps4! Can't afford a ps5

[@segahatty]

Shoulder buttons as action buttons? Sure...

[@coltonthedrummer]

The movement looks phenomenal but the art style is atrocious. Still looks like tons of fun

[@Austinator0630]

Just rubbish, especially considering the behind the scene drama regarding Sonic Superstars

[@nobodycares607]

What drama regarding sonic superstars

[@lewa3910]

you're full of rubbish

[@Austinator0630]

@@nobodycares607 initial, Superstars was supposed to handled by Evening Star, but a fallout between them and Sonic Team lead to the former parting ways and developing this game.

[@kitterbug]

@@Austinator0630 so you're victimizing huge company sega and not the indie devs i bet they still haven't compensated well since mania?

[@averagefez]

@@Austinator0630 literally no. They just wanted to make something original and parted ways with SEGA on peaceful terms.

Congrats on the launch of this game, can’t wait to try it after work!! 🪀
