This is a fun one. The audio, visuals, and writing do very well together to put the player in the appropriate atmosphere. It's meant to be difficult to bike so you find yourself crashing all the time in silly ragdoll ways and that's always entertaining even when frustrating. As you keep going you will you get better at the controls , but now it throws narrow path ways so you'll still keep crashing.
I think at the start of the game the slides with text could have stayed a little longer on screen- often times it switched away before I could finish reading. And maybe allowing the player a little more practice before a race would have been nicer, or perhaps a slightly better camera angle so it's easier to see the position of the legs (and therefore quickly learn the timing) since the tips does say it's better to pedal when the corresponding legs are at the highest point.
Overall, I enjoyed my time at penny farthing.
