Penny’s Big Breakaway: Watch someone beat the first level with a single 2-minute combo

Penny’s Big Breakaway, the momentum-based 3D platformer from developer Evening Star, had a surprise launch earlier this week after appearing in a Partner Showcase Nintendo Direct. During a livestream hosted by Evening Star during the game‘s launch on February 21, one designer completed the first level with a single two-minute combo, and it’s a feat to behold.

If you haven’t yet discovered Penny’s Big Breakaway, it’s a 3D platformer modeled after the weird and weird platformers of the PlayStation 1 generation, rather than Nintendo’s popular platforming efforts. As such, the game features a unique moveset that resembles that of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, with a Devil May Cry combo counter to boot.

Watch developer Evening Star pull off a massive 191-hit combo in the first stage of Vanillatown, the first world of Penny’s Big Breakaway, below:

As you can see, this creator – Milena – completes the first level with a continuous combo. We’re not sure we’re up to the task, but we wouldn’t be surprised if fans of the game spent some time surpassing that score. Only time will tell.

Penny’s Big Breakaway is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox series X/S, Switch and PC.
