Pay off your penguin mafia debt by trafficking treats under the cat's noses. If you fail, the mafia will have your head!

The Mafia will give you a required drug and interest payment.

You must collect these then pass through the teleporter to the second airport, where their penguin agent will be waiting.

After you give him your items, head for the exit or make another run to sell him more!

Be careful, as the cats will notice your presence and become more aggressive as time passes!

Enhance yourself and pay off your debt between runs with the extra money you bank above the interest payment.

THEME - Limited Space

You have only one inventory slot so you have to juggle giving foods that sell for more versus giving the required food. It also forces you to make multiple dangerous runs!

Gotta love mice with cheese! Some nice movement animation. Screen resolution issues meant I couldn't read much of the UI as it was too small. I was a bad drug runner. Mafia kept getting me before I could find the penguin.

need to put constraints on the other characters so they dont rotate when you walk through them. also not sure if we supposed to walk on the vending machines or not. maybe missing a collider there?

@jcmonkey Thanks for the feedback - The characters rotating all over the place is intentional, initially I had them rotation locked, but I think it adds charm to the game lol. The lack of collision on the vending machines was intentional, but due to me not figuring out how to adjust the pathfinding (never used navmesh before this jam).
