What players say
Players describe Penarium as a short, challenging arena platformer with a dark circus theme. It is addictive in short bursts, though some report unresponsive jumping and heavy reliance on RNG. The campaign lasts about 3 hours, and opinions split on whether the difficulty feels fair or frustrating.
