About This Game



Rapid climate events and mismanaged scientific endeavours have left Australia largely flooded and abandoned. Those who remain are not willing to stray too far from home to take care of their basic needs. So, who will help satiate their growing appetites? You. Put on your running shoes and get ready to grind, sprint, jump and survive in this fast paced, parkour food delivery game!



  • You've got rail grinding, the primary option. Rail grinding will allow you to quickly gain speed to complete your orders or get out of a dangerous situation as fast as possible.
  • Sliding helps when going down hills. You will quickly gain speed as you descend.
  • Wall running will maintain your speed for its full duration, so try this after finishing a rail grind.
  • Lastly is ledge climbing, which allows you to reach some trickier spots.



Your job is to complete orders. Normal Orders require you to deliver generic "food" and / or "drink". This will give you some cash and an Item Coin for your efforts.

Item Coins are used for Special Orders. These allow customers to order more than the government provided slop. You will need to seek out the needed items and purchase them with Item Coins. Once you have collected everything, finish the delivery and you will receive a large payout.



Scattered across Australia are many Vaults containing useful Perks for you to use for that day. Some will influence the economy, others will make movement more efficient, but they will all help you get a better paycheck.



As the day goes, more machinery will activate to hinder your efforts.
  • Cannons - These launch heat seeking missiles that will track you down
  • Lasers - A simple threat, but one that can very quickly deplete your health if not carefully avoided
  • Hover Tanks - Fast, artillery mounted vehicles that will track you down to shoot you with missiles
