About Penarium

About this game

Penarium is set in a sinister circus arena, where contestants, much like Gladiators of old, are forced to entertain a sadistic crowd. In this frantic 2D arena arcade game, you take on the role of our quirky antihero; Willy who, to survive, is forced to run, jump and avoid an array of killer death-traps. Succeed and Willy will become the Champion of Penarium. Fail and he will die in a most horrendous way, much to the delight of the baying crowd.

Guide poor Willy through this evil madness in single player and 2 player local COOP and Competitive modes. Every kid wants to go to circus but no kid wants to die in one.

"The idea is interesting, but it really lacks variety, and it grows old much too soon."

Hooked Gamers

85 / 100
"With old-school visuals and audio, simple controls and some devilishly tricky levels, Penarium is a heap of fun."
