My 3-year-old daughter saw this and clicked on it while I was out of the room. She watched the whole thing by herself, and now she can't stop saying "Penguin ball!"
A game with actual momentum that's encouraged to be utilized through level design, a very high skill ceiling and standout art direction getting overlooked (until maybe now I guess) because it doesn't have the blue rodent in it, so unfortunate.
Dunkey loves it when people think Bowser's Big Bean Burrito is just a joke. That's the best part about it, it sounds like a joke, but it's actually CBT in action.
It's a little known fact that dunkeys child has now started a production company called 'little mode' who will be putting knack 3 into production this year
I think this might end up being the third game Dunkey's featured that I end up buying because of his video. Ended up buying Neon White and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk after Dunkey grunted his way through those.
I bought Zeroranger because of Dunkey. Now I have Erasure living rent free in my head. Maybe I should buy Penny's Big Breakaway so it becomes a timeshare.
I’m not a major fan of the art style, but it’s not a major negative, and I will always take gameplay over visuals. This is a great game that deserves more praise.
It's really refreshing to se a video like this. No ribbing, no sarcastic remarks on the game, just dunkey enjoying a good ass game and making jokes. I don't really like platforming games but fuck, people that do are eating good with this one.
This is probably the calmest and most content I've seen Dunk be. Hearing him during the first minute talk about the movement of the game sounds so happy and genuine.
Finally, we get to see Dunkey, a 90 year old black grandma, play a game where you play as another 90 year old black grandma. This is truly the first grandma type video.
Disgaia had those murderer penguin demons... oh and Megaman 3 had the evil penguin bots in Gemini Man's stage... and Megaman X had an evil penguin guy. Alright you know what? This isn't new at all! Evil penguins are as old as video games! Remember Atari's "Penguin" for the Dollop of Icecream video systems?
The sadness of this being a better momentum-based game than most modern Sonic games is outweighed by the hilarity of realizing there's no (game) penguin Sonic character because they're too evil. Thanks, Dunkey.
hot take: the core gameplay concept in all sonic games, both 2d and 3d (which is a momentum-based platformer, but _fast)_ is inherently flawed and sonic team has always just been trying their best with something that will never satisfy the entire gaming community
>creative and unique That was true of mid-tier games for quite some time now. They're only becoming popular as the major industry players are betwixt remakes and skinner-casinos with no 'fad' genres.
two Dunkey videos in the same week feels like the first time my dog didn't instinctively try to take a shit on the floor and instead tried to go outside. Feelings of awe, surrealism, and joy to be there to witness it.
"and I'm playing on mouse and keyboard" yeah, that doesn't sound right "and keep in mind that I'm playing on the donkey konga bongos" now that's the dunkey i know
Not gonna lie, this actually looks like a fun game. Just an honest and fun experience. Someone throw money at this studio, because they've captured the old spirit we've been missing.

Who woulda thought that the developers behind Sonic Mania would make a better 3D Sonic game and not Sonic Team.
Maybe because people like you can’t decide what you want from sonic, and constantly detest the developers just because “Fuck Sega”
yeah it was completely impossible to predict such a thing...
A game with actual momentum that's encouraged to be utilized through level design, a very high skill ceiling and standout art direction getting overlooked (until maybe now I guess) because it doesn't have the blue rodent in it, so unfortunate.

This game is seriously so awesome. Dunkey is making it look mega easy though, this was actually kinda cracked.
It’s because he has the high score in bowsers big bean burrito

This is like a Sonic game but without the expectation of having to go really, really fast all the time.
Only when there are penguins. There is actually a reason to go fast.

Bought a switch and botw because of dunkey. And mario odyssey. Loved mario odyssey so much more than I thought I would
9:25 I was stressed right there with him.
That was insane from beginning to end.

Dunkey's graphics and gameplay get better and better with every game he makes.
there was a roguelike that doubled down on that specific thing@@trppstar
Hi Lumpy ily
Dunkey has that same flavor of innocence that Jerma is popular for.
0:30 seconds into the video and i already want to play the game because of this crazy interesting gameplay. This is how you create games !!!
These FF7 Rebirth mini games are out of control
Rebirth wishes it had gameplay
FF wishes it was this good
Idk why but “the penguins are always evil these days, you notice that” tickled me
Red Snow from the game jam!
Sounds like a Seinfeld routine 😂.
Examples:
Penny's big break
No that was me. I tickled you
Reminded me of the “why are there so many pig enemies in video games” guy
9:41 That "Goddammit" was so genuine XD
0:27 That’s the most genuine satisfaction I’ve heard in Dunkey’s voice for a long time.

You can tell it's a good platformer when Dunkey starts making Super Mario "wa-haaa! whoo-hoo!" noises in between all the profanity
8:02 - 9:39 I was not prepared to see this much skill in a single run. God damn Donkey is gaming
Damn i didn't believe him when he said all penguins are evil in game nowadays but then he provided those examples and I was convinced
Finally, we get to see Dunkey, a 90 year old black grandma, play a game where you play as another 90 year old black grandma. This is truly the first grandma type video.
Pure, hardcore innovation from the best of the best
"Now your instinct is going to tell you to go straight.
...
Your instinct is a fucking dumbass." 7:46
Luigi’s Balloon World ass gameplay, Dunkey is the GOAT for that
It's really nice to see Dunkey actually enjoying a game for once, and this one absolutely deserves it lol
The last time he enjoyed a game was Redfall, quite a great game 🤭.
Tf are you talking about?@@jjhaya
I’m genuinely astonished that Dunkey was able to complete an entire level without breaking a combo. That’s amazing, and I’m being for real.
1:10 "Thank you for the list of evil penguins in video games."
I would really prefer if you would stop speaking.
The only other game I know with evil penguins is WIldfrost so the list is accurate
Crash Bandicoot has one, and so does Mario 64.
Now the penguings in Mario don't hurt you physically but don't let them fool you. They some evil dudes.
Disgaia had those murderer penguin demons... oh and Megaman 3 had the evil penguin bots in Gemini Man's stage... and Megaman X had an evil penguin guy. Alright you know what? This isn't new at all!

That final yellow tower miss killed me, the Dunk really is the best gamer in the world.
he's so good. I'm an idiot so I would have landed the yellow tower
I love the soundtrack, it sounds like it's from a puzzle game on the Dreamcast that never got released outside Japan
He would love Spark the Electric Jester.
I'll make a note of that. Indie 3D platformers are looking really good nowadays. Big step up from a game like yooka laylee
The sadness of this being a better momentum-based game than most modern Sonic games is outweighed by the hilarity of realizing there's no (game) penguin Sonic character because they're too evil. Thanks, Dunkey.
It was made by developers who worked on previous Sonic games, so it's not too sad, more like expected

@@1BenDoverWilson the tony hawk video he made
One of my favorites because it made me realize just...how much filler is in a lot of games.

I love hearing how much more subdued Dunkey's voice is now that he has a little one. Very cute. :]
This game deserves all the recognition it can possibly get
10 minutes of Dunkey just straight up enjoying a new video game. Incredible.
I miss drama mondays
When Dunkey said "this is just like Final Fantasy VII, Penny's Big Breakaway" that was my favourite part
I hope this video gives the game a bump. It's so damn good
I may not agree with everything dunkey has said, but his endorsement of a game absolutely does make me consider a game more than I usually would
Sega marketing team really mess that one up.
@@Jay__B1990um Sega doesn't work with these devs. They only worked together on Sonic Mania, that's it

@04:36 "I haven't seen that many penguins formed into a ball since Al Pacino's wedding" had me spitting out my coffee
Not a lot of jokes, mostly just dunkey vibin out to the gameplay. I know a good game when I see it.
Platformers have never been my thing, but Dunkey’s passion for the genre and real talent is always a joy to watch.

"and I'm playing on mouse and keyboard"
yeah, that doesn't sound right
"and keep in mind that I'm playing on the donkey konga bongos"

As one of Penny's speedrunners, you are my idol. Thank you for your contributions to our community.
This game has been an absolute joy to play, the movement in a game hasn’t been this satisfying in a while. Glad to see Dunkey give it some attention!
Yeah this is the first I've seen it looks great like a mix of mario 3d world sonic and tony hawk.

I didn't even think about it until he started making the jokes, but man I cannot wait to look up some speedruns of this game.
"ooohhh this is nice!" wow dunk, i totally belive this isnt a voice over recored waaaay after you played the game
If you haven't noticed yet the only time dunkeys reaction is live is when you can hear his shitty mic filter
