Reception
[edit]The game has a Metacritic rating of 85% based on 10 critic reviews.[2]
SlideToPlay wrote " Penumbear is a phenomenal combination of platformer, puzzles and story. For those gamers looking for a seriously tough but fun time, you can’t do much better than this. "[3] AppSpy said "Penumbear takes the simple idea of 'walking on light' and runs wild with it, turning a solid platformer in to an absolute gem thanks to its beautiful atmosphere, brain-scratching puzzles, and dastardly challenges for those who need to go the extra mile."[4] TouchArcade commented "The world of Penumbear might not be one you'd want to explore on your own, dark as it is. Navigating a friendly little bear through, on the other hand? Well, that works quite well."[5] Gamezebo wrote "Penumbear is a great example of how platforming controls can be done right on iOS - and it's a lovely little puzzler to boot."[6]
AppSmile said "Featuring levels in the triple digits, creative puzzles, and a great light-darkness mechanic that dictates where you can and cannot go, Penumbear makes for a compelling offering."[7] Pocket Gamer UK wrote "Cute but incredibly difficult, Penumbear oozes brooding malice and will cause a great deal of frustration - but the unique gameplay is tight and appealing enough to keep you enthralled."[8] TouchGen said "Penumbear is a quality puzzle platformer with a lot of content, and unsettling presentation. It never feels casual, and finding all the hidden stuff means you have to be prepared to have Penumbear impaled on spikes quite a lot. Not a game for the kiddies, but rather a game for those into darker games such as Limbo, Nihilumbra or Oscura."[9]
