About
The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time is the one and only 1-8 player CO-OP physics-based heist game featuring a bunch of kleptomanic penguins. You'll experience a blend of physics-based platforming with stealth, strategy, action, and CHAOS.

Being inspired by old school stealth and heist games along with modern physics platformers, Penguin Heist aims to breathe new life into the genre with a modern physics engine along with multiplayer. You pick your mission, your loadout, and you set out on your mission. Use your tools, weapons, and wit to infiltrate, steal, and exfiltrate as well as you can. Unlock new weapons and items by completing quests and exploring the maps, and get the sickest penguin drip by spending your hard earned money in the clothing store.
Choose stealth and complete the game without killing anyone, choose chaos and blow everything up with high-tech weaponry, or anything inbetween. No matter what level of expertise you are on, Penguin Heist will offer a challenge for everyone. If not, you can have fun slapping your friends with bananas and baguettes.

Penguin Heist features a variety of heist locations that all have their unique flair. One heist will have you stealing boats full of fish, another might have you stealing valuable works of art, and yet another may require you to kidnap an prized chef. However, it is the job of a penguin to figure out the way that they want to execute their heist. Loud or silent, lethal or non-lethal - there is no right answer... there is only the way you play!

As you progress through the game, you will unlock new weapons, tools, and items. These range from normal guns to drones to explosives to food. Each item has a special feature that can be used to complete a heist. See a pair of penguins guarding a door? You can blast them into oblivion with dynamite and a minigun, you can poison them with stinky fish, you can lure them away and sneak in, you can distort gravity and run past.
While a penguin can be proficient with every weapon and know heisting in and out, what is a penguin without style? Customize your penguin's skin, headwear, facewear, and clothes. There are hundreds of items to choose from!
As an addition to the regular stores, the Post Office offers special deliveries as well as unique and epic items. It also serves as the purchase point for properties. Yes, you can buy land and a house, and decorate it as you wish with your hard earned fish coins.
In Penguin Heist, items and weapons are unlocked by finding blueprints. These can be obtained from completing quests or by exploring. Some are easy, others are hard, and that's why one of the features of the Library is to provide hints to the player.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is a physics game. The penguins have simulated joints and the controls are therefore not as responsive as your average game. You may find the controls "janky", which is completely the result of the physics simulation.

Not recommended at all. MY experience playing it was atrocious. It ran like crap, glitched out a bunch, one of my friend's did not render into our group at all and could hit things but not interact with anything. The "heist" if you can call it that was boring, enemies barely do anything at all, theres just... nothing worth doing. Refunded immediately.
Highly recommended if you like goofy charm. This game is brimming with charm and love. I adore the penguins, the customization, and above all the delightful Noot mechanic (your penguin makes a Noot when you press N, with the pitch dependent on your view angle). Every level feels like an actual space that is fun to explore. You can really feel the love in every corner. I first picked this up early in college, and it's still always fun to open it up, see what's been added, or open an old level and try to find another secret or complete another side mission. Playing with friends is a joy, too. I'll noot a little tune at them and they'll noot one back and we'll scheme on our way to find the penguin chef or the one ring or whatever!
Linux comparability is touted by the developer and ultimately untrue. Issues running in Arch-based and Fedora-based machines even with developers (forum only) posted information. Game simply loads into the bottom of a map asset with some random elements loaded floating in the sky (actually unplayable). Edit(s) Update June 7, 2026: Developer's patch does resolve issues across my three tested machines. Tested through the tutorial and first map on one machine. Assuming a patch following this doesn't reintroduce comparability issues a proceeding edit will be based on the gameplay itself.
Full release STILL NO PASSWORD PROTECTED ROOM FILTER HOLY COW
