VERY SERIOUS NOTE
This game and its depictions are all very serious. Laughter, giggling, and most especially chortling of any kind during play are all highly discouraged. Any bugs or odd quirks are intentional anachronisms fully appropriate to the era and should increase a rating consideration rather than diminish it.
This game was produced in one week's time for the Very Serious Jam, where the theme was "Spin to Win."
Out of a whopping 3,530 submitted games, Penny Farthing ranked in at Fifth in the coveted Seriousness category, surely due to its Seriousness, and it placed at 16th Overall.

Browser performance is tied to your graphics card, this game renders a Victorian city so it is rather demanding. A Windows Build has been made available for download and should feature significantly better performance for all systems.
