Cookies Inc Idle Tycoon Reviews

I really liked this game a few years ago because it was so simple. Collect cookies. Buy things that give you more cookies. Prestige for a big boost. But as several updates go on, it’s gotten super confusing and can easily confuse newer players.

With every half-baked update for this game, I always see major changes, not just adding new features, but making things easier, such as “2X more Rainbow Cookies!!” which brings me to my next point.

This game is V͟͟E͟͟R͟͟Y confusing as a veteran cookie collector. So many features added and removed! Like the dark portal, free rainbow cookies every few hours or so, loot bags, and the light cookie machine. Oh? I can earn league cookies from daily quests? Oh? I can't anymore? Please just come up with an idea and stick with it. With all the additions to this game, you might as well make a third game. (Yes, this is a sequel, or at least used to be before it was rebranded from Cookie Collector 2)

One of the recent updates completely killed my progression. The showcase item boosts are now additive instead of multiplicative, which made me go from being able to buy and upgrade all cookie sets and structures to not even being able to get to any of the last few cookie sets without spending hundreds of thousands of rainbow cookies on time warps. I went from about duosexagintillion to dequintillion, which makes getting the cupcakes for another showcase item impossible. Also, dark upgrades are also much harder to get because of the lack of a showcase bonus. Before, I was able to nearly max out all dark upgrades, but now, I can’t even come close.

Besides this, the game is great.

It is a great thing to do on days where I am mad because I sit around doing nothing. However, there are a few small problems, preventing the game from becoming PERFECT.

1. You should make CookiesIncIdleTycoon cost money and have a different way of getting the premium upgrades/tip jar, but not referral codes because of problem 2.

2. Teams make the game dependent on others and discriminate those who have less than several hours every day.

3. Rainbow cookies are too hard to get. Once you don’t really have bakeries to level up, you get about 200,000 per hour, but you should be getting more than that. Meryl’s deals are the most overpriced thing in the game. 2 week time warps used to cost 25,000 rainbow cookies but now 30 hour ones cost 1,200,000.

4. Cookie sets should be more simple. With the Planet one, you did the best job with that. However, what does Tangy and Specialty even mean, especially as adjectives? And how are Cosmic cookies actually cosmic? They should be planet, moon, galaxy, star, etc.

I love this game and I love all of the features that have been added since I started, but there are a few things I would like added that would make it that much better
1) a “buy all” button for structures and dark structures like the one for upgrades/dark upgrades. It is so frustrating and time consuming to have to go through and buy each structure every time you reset for cupcakes/showcase items.
2) tip jar notifications. I don’t know what the coding is for when the magic tip jar says “open it!” But it is annoying when it does because sometimes I have to wait for it to go away before I can click on something that it is blocking. I personally do not have the money to buy it, and wouldn’t even if I did because it has become so much easier to get rainbow cookies.
3) change max tier boost on structures from 2000 to at least 3000 or 4000. It is so annoying when you have so many structures at like 3000 structures and you don’t get any bonus for them.

That’s all for now but I hope you consider my ideas😊

This game rocks. And even better is that it's free. PixelCUBE, thank you for adding this to CookiesIncIdleTycoon Store. You mean so much to me. I am a Cookie God, thanks to you.

Your system is brilliant, the upgrades are cool, and the cookies I have, I can't even begin to describe. Once again, I have to thank you for making this free.

My one problem is that Mastery Ranks for earlier cookie sets are impossible to obtain late-game. This makes some achievements unobtainable for players like me. I saw a suggestion in another review to be able to turn off cookie sets, and that sounds like an excellent idea, and a great fix to this problem. If this could be added in the next update, or even a few from now, I might be able to finally get those sweet achievements. Maybe you would be able to stop individual cookies from appearing so I could get those Peanut Butter Mastery Ranks...

Another thing, I’m having a problem where my cookies’ Mastery Ranks won’t register when being collected. My production has decreased by about 10,000,000x because of this. I have to sell my bakery to fix it, but the issue comes back a few minutes later.

So I messed up and now I can’t change my bakery name anymore. What I did was is paste a name into the bakery name thing and apparently there was a lot of spaces in the front of it. So now the name is off the screen and I can’t press it anymore to change it. This is only a problem because I don’t have all of the themes yet or the black hole upgrade. This happened a while ago before the black hole upgrade came out and I’m bummed that I can’t get it.

For anyone wanting an actual review for the game, it’s great. The developers are amazing and are always in touch with the community on discord and help out a lot. The game is constantly updated almost every 2 weeks and not a single update has only been a “bug fix” update. Every update that has come to the game has brought lots of things to find and do. I got this game when it first came out and it has changed a lot.

If you made it this far in the review, Thanks!

I have been playing this game for 3+ years, deleting it and reinstalling it and wishing I hadn’t deleted the game for the ten millionth time. I was playing back when it was called “Cookie Collector 2.” I love this game, it has satisfied me so many times and somehow a simple idle clicker game has brought me hours of entertainment. I love this game a lot. It is perfect. But, I only have one complaint; it seems way too easy to me to reach the big numbers such as millions and trillions. I remember sitting there, in the middle of the night, sliding my finger across the screen in a desperate attempt to reach the millions. But otherwise, this game is perfect. Keep up the good work, Pixelcube.

Why not make the cookie variety upgrade linear? Then we could effectively upgrade each cookie tier within sets efficiently.

The ability to turn off a cookie set would be great. Then we could maximize production. To make this balanced, just have it made so that only a complete cookie set can be turned off

Since upgrades in the upgrade screen are bound to be added, why not start splitting the upgrades screen into sectioned parts. Sections like "Rainbow Storms", "Cookie Collection", "CPS", and "Miscellaneous". Also a new idea for an upgrade, "Slow Swipe", which slows down the rate the screen swipe travels down the screen, allowing for possible back to back screen swiping

Finally, make the alternating cookie upgrade cap at the nut cookies. Then it wouldn't be so hard to get it while the upgrades keep rolling out

As for a new set.....

color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white

Shape: triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon

Metal: copper, iron, cobalt, nickel, titanium, silver, gold, platinum

This game is amazing and it keeps having more new content but I have
A few suggestions

1. Structures are much more useful than on-screen cookies at parts of the game and at other parts it’s the other way around, This needs to be more balanced please

2. Certain things in the game feel impossible to get for example:
Mastery 10
It needs so many cookies I’ve been playing 3 years and don’t have it yet

3. There are lots of points in the game where you progress just slows down a lot and you can’t get anything that helps you out of that place

4. I know you can’t rush a good update but I always get exited to see the new content you come up with but it feels like most updates now are just balance updates

This isn’t a suggestion it’s just something I need to say
My team(cookie factory 22) was stolen by somebody named Festivaloflights and he kicked me and everybody on it I joined again and saw that he was the new leader
I would be glad if you could get me my team back

This was long

So I have been playing this game for over 3 years now and it has been so far one of the best games especially because of all the frequent updates

Edit: or it was 2 years been so long i forgot also can you all the really high level upgrades cheaper but lower upgrade more expensive. Also i think bouncy rain is a little to op especially when it’s at max because then it’s 100% chance for them to bounce like at least make it a 75 to 90% also for another event that will last for one day dark structures have a 3 times boost. And for another one it will last 8hr 3 times rainbow cookies from rainbow storms.

This game is absolutely wonderful, recent updates have made the game a lot more enjoyable, a lot easier to play. And oh yeah did I mention recent updates??? Like what?? I started playing this game nearly 10 years ago now, and it’s still being supported and updated by Pixelcube!!!
This game truly has had a special place in my heart and I have sunk much more hours into this game than I probably should, but hey, that means it’s a great game!

This game may not have as active of a community as I remember it once did, but the people who are still around are wonderful people, and who knew you could make really good friends with people through a cookie game, I suppose cookies bring like minded people together!

So if you’re still reading and you’ve never played this game before, sink 5 hours or so into the game and get back to me, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I am.

Thank you Pixelcube for almost 10 years of this incredible game. Much love to you and hopefully this game will stick around for another 10. 💜

I love this game, I have dozens and dozens of hours of play time and you would think that this would be very boring after a while, but there is so much content that just never happens. I’ve probably played over 60 hours and I’m still only at 31 showcase items out of 48, and they add more every update (which is by the way about 3 times a month) Also the community is fantastic and welcoming! To wrap it up I highly recommend this game and thank you to Pixelcube for making such a fantastic game :D

Bakery ideas:

PIXELCUBE

Steampunk

Industrial

Stone Age

Underground

Underwater

Ideas for future updates:

-Option to have the daily gift pop up on launch. (I usually forget to claim it)

-Show how many cookies are uploaded to the satellite for the next frenzy

-Team levels: Team levels are based on lifetime cookies you have collected in the team. When you collect a certain number of cookies. You reach a milestone, you reach the next level as well as get some rewards.

-New ways to earn milkshakes: I find that I am really lacking milkshakes, maybe there can be an upgrade so they can spawn more often. Or maybe a chance for a milkshake frenzy or something.

-Badge upgrades are for all badges: I would much prefer if you bumped the prices up for the upgrades and have them transfer over.

That’s all I can think of for now. I hope you will consider some of these ideas and thanks again for making such an awesome game!

I said sorta because multiple games have Cookie Tycoons and stuff, but the creativity makes it stand out from the others! You might wanna think about making a third game... ;) Anyway, you guys are AWESOME for updating regularly!! Each time the update is bigger and bigger until it gets #1 which I appreciate because the game never gets old. Every update makes the game fresh out of the oven. I believe you can reach the top - TOP charts and may be featured! Never give up and cook up the next update! (I would give it a 10 stars if I was able!)

EDIT: Ideas
I was thinking of a new cookie set(s) because it is really easy to get to the last set so try to add two sets an update if possible. I was thinking of something that tells you that you will have enough cupcakes for a showcase item before you restart for cupcakes. Some new menu designs could be great! (Trying not to push it) Cookie Set Ideas:
Whimsy
Natural
Metallic
(Also you have been calling the magical set the “unicorn” set)
Foreign
Technological
Enchanted
Candy
Surreal
Last (if there will be no more updates and you decide to make a third game)

I have nothing much to compliment this game because of all the factors that make it better. Nothing much is annoying, the ads are OPTIONAL(everyone likes that anyways, most likely), the numbers are ACTUAL numbers, and the game even helps you while struggling along the way! It’s amazing!

I have a few ideas in case you’re wondering.

One idea I have is butter. There should be butter structures that will give you butter, and the butter can be used as upgrades to get small bonuses. It helps everything (like cupcakes) but it doesn’t reset. EVER. Unless you add a thing to reset the whole game, yes. You unlock a butter upgrade by maxing out a milk upgrade. (Example: you max the milk upgrade on the top - the game gives you a set of 10 butter upgrades.) The milk upgrades (when maxed out) should also give butter structures. Just another idea.

This second one is short. MAKE THE MAX HIGHER! The game will take more time to beat if the max is higher. There’s a few upgrades that I’d also like to see have a higher max.

The third idea I have is that the upgrades: Fast Cookies, Max cookies, Oven Bake Time, and Helping Hand should all be a higher max.

Cookies Inc. creators - if you read this, I will be happy :)

Ok, so I’ve been playing for a good while and I’ve seen the game experience major and minor changes. Most of the time, these changes are for the better. They have nerfed things that needed to be nerfed and they have buffed things that needed to be buffed. They listen to your suggestions and problems unlike some other games. The game isn’t overly P2W and gifts you a LOT of stuff. Personally, I’ve spent about $40 on this game and I think that it was money well spent. I am currently in one of the top 5 teams and grind cookies when I can. I understand that some people cant play as much as required for the “professional” teams. That’s why they have smaller teams for players who are playing for fun and to waste time. You get one FREE mega gift ( to your team ) every month and free rainbow cookies ( the “gems” of this game ) every 8 hours!

I have a suggestion, called Infinite Baker. I have noticed that too many people have hit Cosmic Baker. Especially in top clans. Infinite Baker should be 200m cookies collected, and would look like cosmic baker but blue and the eternal baker design. Shouldn’t max level not be hit so easily, while 120M is so easy. But my game review, is I think the game is amazing, while could have some improvements, I love the idea of swiping cookies and mixing in teams and all that other stuff, with insane showcases and cupcake prestige system. I also like how the prestige isn’t just numbers. It’s showcases and cupcake prestige boosts. Now for the mastery with bakery and cookie mastery. The cookie mastery is a good idea, but 80m for a single Master X cookie? That’s only a 10 billion times boost. I can get more with all of my 56 showcases upgraded to Master X. Bakery mastery is weird but doesn’t need many fixes

Only problem then the rest is awesome: STOP LOWERING TEAM LEAGUE REWARDS. If anything keep adding to them so people can have something to grind for. It’s a shame y’all keep lowering it. Now the good: I play this game all the time and absolutely love it, but there’s nothing to do once you reach the end. I think it would be awesome if there was competitive leagues. You can have them be separate from other leagues. So when you create a league you can say casual or competitive and then your sorted into those groups in rankings. The casual is just as it is now. The competitive is for the players who want to be on top. And the top 1-10 teams could get a reward outside of game. Probably paypal, where each player gets a small amount of money as a added incentive to continue playing each week and grind out those cookies. It’s a rough idea but I think it could be awesome!

This game is absolutely incredibly fun, and every update makes it better and better. I do have a suggestion. Could you add Team descriptions? Team captains could put in requirements, and everyone can read it. Just a suggestion though. I absolutely love this game!

EDIT: Thank you for adding Team Descriptions into the game!!! Just another quick suggestion, would it be complicated to implement a new feature that however many rainbow cookies you put into the league, you get a percentage for season boost? For example, if you donate 5M Rainbow Cookies, you’d give a 20% season boost, while if you were to donate 1M, it’d only be 4 or 5%. Love this game!

2nd EDIT: So I haven’t updated to update 77 yet, but it looks very fun! I was wondering if update 76 notes was also merged with the 77 notes. If not, could you please mention that? Thank you! Finally Apple accepts these updates ❤️

This game is so fun and addictive! It always introduces fresh new game mechanics, and game progression makes you feel like you’re climbing the ranks! There is always so much to do in this game: it’s not one of those apps where you play for five minutes and then wait a few hours for something to “build” or for energy to “recover”. So, overall, 5 of 5 stars! One of my favorite games!!

Update recommendation: Burnt Cookies. Cookies will have a chance to be burnt, meaning that they won’t give you money when collected. However, they will drop a resource called Ash. For instance, if you spend 10k of this Ash (that means spending Ash collected from 10,000 burnt cookies), you would get a 25% chance of getting a Super Diamond cookie. Perhaps spending 30k of these burnt cookies would get you a 25% shot at getting a Super Ruby cookie. Upgrades could include Ash per Burnt Cookie or Chance of Getting Super Cookie (Increasing that 25% to something higher). Out of the Ashes comes Super Cookies!

I’m loving the new updates, and glad to see the game being updated more often, I love seeing new stuff. I think it would be cool to see some more bakeries, like the regular ones you purchase with the regular cookies not the rainbow ones. It would also be cool if we could have a bakery front we can decorate with decorations that can be purchased with cookies, rainbow cookies, or even cupcakes. Maybe a function that allows you to view others’ bakery fronts and if you are on the same team, your team mates can “help” either with a small boost for a time, or something.
