About This Game

Set within a wicked circus ring, Penarium forces contestants to amuse a cruel crowd, much like ancient gladiators. You assume the role of Willy, an eccentric antihero who must sprint, hop, and dodge various deadly hazards to stay alive. Victory means becoming the Champion of Penarium, while failure results in a gruesome death that pleases the screaming spectators.

Lead the unfortunate Willy through this wicked madness in single-player as well as 2-player local COOP and Competitive modes. While every child dreams of attending the circus, no child wants to meet their end there.
