This is a rare thing: a 3D platformer that feels original. That isn't to say that it doesn't come with a bunch of influences, but the results are more than the sum of their parts. When Evening Star's ideas shine through, as in how complimentary the sound effects are to the soundtrack, or the abundant opportunities to rocket Penny forward and rapidly roll through levels, the game shines. Unfortunately, Evening Star hasn't quite figured out how to make failures fun, a problem exacerbated by glitches. I have a catalog of them after playing the game. It often felt like Penny and the levels tripped over themselves. Fortunately, the game would soon get back up, something charming would happen, and I would be back to enjoying myself.
