You play as a penguin carrying out heists across varied locations, either solo or with up to seven other players online. Each mission has an objective and an escape, but there is no single required approach.
Explore maps, take on side missions, and use tools, weapons, and environmental objects to get past obstacles and guards. You can try to stay stealthy or turn the job into a loud fight, with the physics-based movement and interactions adding unpredictability.
Completing quests and exploring can reveal blueprints and unlock equipment. The game also offers penguin clothing and skins to collect, daily challenges, and other activities such as pizza baking, zombie survival, and PvP.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as silly, charming, and especially entertaining with friends, where loose physics and penguin antics can create unscripted comedy. Some also enjoy exploring large maps, finding secrets, and trying different weapons. Reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about bugs and connection problems, and some players find the missions or levels lacking in content.
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.
