(This is part of a series of party game reviews for party games that I messed around with alongside a good friend in a weekend. I'm writing them with time inbetween each review to avoid flooding so I can still have friends after this.)

Bubbles, you've done it again you absolute mad-man.

Pen Pen Trilcelon is one of the wackiest racing games I've ever experienced. As mentioned by MagneticBurn, it's basically a very over the top retro Fall Guys where you have to navigate these strange race courses and get to the end while dodging all these obstacles. The controls aren't amazing but they work well enough, and the graphics actually hold up surprisingly well for 1998. The loud game-show carnival music and the goofy courses and characters really sell the cartoony party game vibe that I'm looking for when I just want to mess around for a half hour or so. It's super, super short and can get a little overbearing if exposed to for too long, but it gets the point across well and I'd say it's held up shockingly well. Give it a shot if you're looking for something a bit off the beaten path to blaze through with some buddies on a drinking night, I think this is definitely a gem.
