₩32,400 in the bank. ₩350,000 rent due Sunday. Fired from the corner store, Mochi the cat buys a second-hand hoverboard and becomes a delivery rider. ■ A pixel delivery runner through Korean streets • Swipe to change lanes; dodge flying rubbish bags and pigeons. • Hold to ride at 10 km/h; release to accelerate gradually. Tap to dash. • Yellow light: stop, or dash through? Cross on red and you pay a fine. • School zones have speed cameras: 30 km/h or less. • Bundle deliveries: several doors on one route. Approach each door slowly for a precise handover. ■ A rider's day • Morning, lunch and evening shifts; rain pay on rainy days. • Pay slips with the call fee, insurance and 3.3% withholding. • Spill the food and you pay for it; run late and the stars drop. • Rent and the hoverboard instalment are due every week. ■ Collect and dress up • Collect 10 cat riders from gift boxes (earned in play only, no paid gacha). • Buy helmets, glasses, scarves and bags; decorate your rooftop room. • Stories from 12 customers, shop stamps and badges. ■ Easy on the eyes • Pixel art on a single pixel grid. • "Easy on the eyes" mode, on by default, cuts flicker and shake. The only ads are rewarded ones you choose to watch: keep riding after a failed delivery, or double a pay slip. In-game money and rules are simplified for fun and are not real rider income. Usage analytics is optional. After consent, a random per-game ID and play, return-visit, progression and actual ad data are sent through the developer relay to GameAnalytics.
