About the Game

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.

- Online CO-OP with up to 8 people playing together
- 18 very different heists with several side quests
- Alternative game modes, such as pizza baking, zombie survival, and PvP
- 100+ quests spread across the maps
- 100+ weapons and items
- 100+ clothes and skins
- 20+ unique skins
- Diverse playing styles from stealth to explosive chaos
- Heist planner with custom loadouts
- Daily challenges
- Realistic penguin nooting

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!

Weapon Store
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.

Get your gear from the Weapon Store. While it has the regular stock guns, you might want to check out the more unconventional weapons and items available.
Clothing Store
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.
You don't need fancy loot when you've got style... well, you need the loot to buy clothes, but you get it.
Post Office
As an addition to the regular stores, the Post Office offers special deliveries as well as unique and epic items.
Check out the daily deliveries at the local, cosy Post Office! Make sure to keeps your Penguin Stamps at hand, becuase here you pay with them instead of good old Fish Coins.
Library
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.
Needs help on your heisting journey? Make sure to check out the Library for hints!
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.

Hey everyone!
We've been releasing some patches for the game before the big update, that will mark the end of Early Access. A lot of things have been improved, and soon we'll bring full controller support along with full Steam Deck compatibility. All of this is done in advance in small updates so we can be sure it will work on launch day.
Additions and Major Improvements
New non-directional lightmapping and optimized packing to save memory (expensive these days) while looking pretty much the same. Also increased sample counts for higher quality.
Better lightmap filters and compression to get rid of artifacts and seams.
Pre-generated item icons that look better and make things run faster.
New fog that blends with the outlines
Fixes
Fixed fog not being visible.
Fixed tutorial not being completable.
Fixed slide visuals
Fixing housing mode and property spawners
Fixed some random floating particles
Fixed some weapon visuals that had disappeared
Fixed a ton of tiny other things
We'll be back soon with more updates, and soon enough the big update will arrive. Until then. we will have to noot on.
Noot noot!
Noot noot!
This is a preview patch of the next update, featuring a new networking system. This mainly changes how data is sent and processed. There's universal way of doing this, it all depends on the type of game, how fast things happen, and if you want to have reliable results (like for e-sports). We wanted to push this out before anything else, since there have been some connection issues.
Why another networking system? Unity and networking solutions evolve all the time and so does our knowledge of networking, and we want to do the best we can. We've found a networking solution that makes things much smoother and uses around a tenth of the data as before.
Apart from that, the two final levels are almost done along with the full soundtrack. These will be released soon, marking the end of Early Access.
See you there!

You may have noticed some connection issues after the sale started, and this was to be due to a spike in concurrent players. It's the first time it has failed just because of that, so we were caught a bit off guard. We've just modified the settings and done a reset of the hosting system and server, so it should work again.
We hope you can enjoy Penguin Heist to the fullest now!
See you soon! Noot noot!
We've been pushing out some patches to fix some issues related to multiplayer synching and some graphical issues. Everything should be working now, so we're focusing again on finishing up the soundtrack.
If you're running the game on a Mac with Apple Silicon (the M-series processors), the game will run slower and the time of day will be wrong. We've almost solved this, so keep an eye out and we'll have it fixed soon.
Fixes
- Fixed outline smoothing - the lines are less jagged and the general intensity is more balanced
- Fixed switches not working for clients in multiplayer
- Fixed interactables not working after being downed
- Fixed lightmaps in The Nile
- Fixed white floating blocks in The Nile
- Fixed blacked out buttons in UI
- Improved multiplayer synchronization reliability
We've just uploaded a small patch that should address the performance and connection issues you have been experiencing after the Big Heist Update. A preview of the new Penguin Village is also part of the update, and it will be filled up with more content and mini games for the soundtrack/sound effect update.
Don't worry if we're slow to respond, we're taking some time off to rest and do some planning before getting back to work on the final updates.
See you soon with a new update!
Noot noot!
Maybe you've seen some weird lighting glitches lately? Well, that's corrupted lightmaps, so we've decided to rebake all of them and upload again. Lightmaps take up quite some space, so that's why the download is bigger.
See you soon!
We've released a tiny patch fixing some issues with the water overlay, and we just wanted to say that there was some odd problem with our patch system that uploaded an empty folder for Windows. If you were affected by this, don't worry, it's fixed now. Restart Steam and verify your game files if this latest patch doesn't automatically download for you. We hope you can enjoy the game as intended now.
Noot noot!
