Cookie Run (Hangul: 쿠키런; RR Kukireon) is an endless running game created by Devsisters, a game developer based in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The game motivated by The Gingerbread Man, a famous fairy tale. The game was released on April 2, 2013 for Kakao, and January 29, 2014 for LINE.
The main characters of the game are Cookies whose aim is to escape the Witch’s oven. The characters originate from the earlier games created by Devsisters: Ovenbreak and Ovenbreak 2.
There is a difference between LINE and Kakao versions of the game. The Kakao version is available only in South Korea with only Korean language supported, while the LINE version is available globally with 4 languages available: English, Thai, Japanese and Traditional Chinese. Also, the update schedule of the Kakao version is slightly ahead of the LINE version.
In Cookie Run players have to help a Cookie run as far from the starting point as they can, passing obstacles, jumping through holes and collecting Coins and Jellies.
Running in Cookie Run is automatic. There are only two control buttons on the screen: Jump and Slide. Cookies can also perform a Double Jump, if the Jump button is tapped twice. Some Cookies possess skills that require using Jump and Slide buttons in order use the ability.
The Cookies are main characters of the game.
Each Cookie has their background story, which reveals their relation to other Cookies, the Witch and their place in Cookie Run World, and a special ability. All Cookies are divided by grades. Currently there are four grades: C, B, A, S and L with L being the highest. In the beginning, most Cookies are blocked. To unlock them, player must complete a specific mission (for example, ‘Have 160 Friends’ or ‘Reach level 57’) or use Crystals. After a Cookie is unlocked, they must be bought with Coins.
Pets follow Cookies in the game. Each of them possesses a minor skill. Most Cookies form a combination bonus effect with a pet. Such combination provides a specific bonus in game, but it is also possible to use any Cookie and Pet. Low-grade pets can be found in Gifts Lucky Draw while higher grade ones can be randomly hatched using Crystals.
Each Cookie and Pet can be upgraded up to Level 8 by using coins. Upgrades raise their Energy level allowing them to run for a longer time (applicable only to Cookies) and their Skill level. Each Cookie and Pet provides a special Treasure once upgraded to their maximum Level.
Treasures are special items that can add various bonuses to the game. Only three treasures can be equipped at the same time. The bonuses stack: for example, three Magnetic Aura treasures equipped have a triple effect.
