CookieRun: OvenBreak Reviews

by Mogixsparklingcookie

I’ve been in love with this game since the Kakao version and I’ve seen it go through many stages. I’m proud to see it flourishing the way I always thought it deserved, but I’m sad to say that Ive dropped it. I’m sure the devs get hundreds of complaints everyday when they make slight changes to the game so before when I had a problem with new features, I’d just complain to myself and carry on trying to gain levels, but the recent changes are just to extreme for me to carry on, (I’m referring to the whole reworking of the treasure system). Like I said before I love this app and have spent many hours playing the game, so when the new update came out I tried playing it on multiple occasions but since then, it just never felt the same. I never got back the same excitement when finishing trophy races or weekly breakouts as I did before and I was just left felt dissatisfied. Maybe it’s because I’m used to playing it a certain way, I’m sure if the treasure system was always like the way it is now It would still be downloaded on all of my devices, but with the way it is now I can’t see myself ever re-downloading it. The changing if the treasure system doesn’t make it a bad game by any means and to those who’ve never played it, I’d definitely recommend, but for veteran players like me who don’t get the same enjoyment out of it anymore I’d just suggest to drop it now while you still have good memories of it.

I love cookie run so much and I usually play it on my phone, but I ran out of space and found out the game is available to play on the Mac. Everything was going pretty well until now that the keys don't want to work while i'm running. I can't type a "k" in the chat without it kicking me out, and I can't run either because none of the keys will work. I don't know why this is happening now, but what I do know is that cookie run is great game with a lot of potential to expand on other devices. My advice is to have key controls that you can self-insert, have the touchpad work like a touchscreen and let it slide without clicking on it, and a better login system by making it a requirement to make an account with your preferred email address (which you can change/update later on) and a new password; so if anything were to happen to your account, you can just login like an Instagram account, and all is safe and sound! That is all I have to suggest today, I hope the developers will have the chance to read this. Either way, thank you so much for creating this great app and for taking the time to read this. I hope all is well.

I want to start with the positives of this game. The character designs are BEAUTIFUL and very versatile. I love how you can upgrade cookies in many ways and the lore is nice and captivating. I also love the quests and how there are many things to do. It’s challenging yet fun, and I never get bored playing it. I also love the visual art and music, the simple mechanics, and even some LGBTQ+ representation (nonbinary characters, etc.)
However, there’s a lot of difficulty in the game because many cookies are overpowered. Take Squid Ink, Millennial Tree, Lime, etc. Many cookies dominate trophy race medals simply because they are much more powerful than others, not always due to the player’s skill. Other cookies are underpowered and some are basically useless - Pomegranate, Cherry, Alchemist and Dark Enchantress, to name a few. Also, the game constantly entices you to buy the packages and they pop up almost every time you open the game. I understand that the developers need money to work on the game and I have no problem with their packages attracting a bit of attention. However, it’s not really necessary to have them constantly pop up.

I adore this game and I am very happy that this team puts so much effort into their work.

When I had a Samsung phone I had seen that Devsisters were making another cookie run game. I remember when they had an oven break game where you could fly off hooks and be Gingerbrave whilst running from the witch. Any other new cookie was a huge stretch and I had never seen anything other than him before. So I waited for it to come out. To my surprise it was just like old times. Although it’s not the same it was great. The shear amount of cookies is amazing! They have really outdone themselves from the past! I’ve seen this game grow adding new game modes such as memories, OvenBreak, and running with friends. They are always adding new cookies and treasures for everyone in the community to enjoy. Treasures weren’t even a thing when this first came out! It goes to show how far this game has come. If you had not heard of this game please at least try it out, Its a blast and I would recommend this to anyone with a phone. The Devs listen to the community the best they can so if a problem occurs it will most likely be fixed in the next patch. This game is truly a gem to behold.

by Sick Of Insta's Dumb Updates

I want to say that I do love this game but there are a couple of things that need improvement. Ever since this new update for season 5 came into effect (which i absolutely adore!), everytime I try to participate in the trophy race CookieRun shuts down. I don’t understand why and I’ve don’t everything I can short of deleting CookieRun and creating a new account. This is especially frustrating since I lose a whole bunch of trophies and I won’t get as many champions league medals. I also need to participate in trophy races to fulfill the new event goals and I can’t do that if the game is constantly crashing.

Another thing is the costume draw. I love getting new costumes and whichever team is designing the costumes (and cookies themselves!) is constantly doing great work- however, getting enough rainbow cubes is absolutely excruciating and often times I get a lot of repeats which in turn, doesn’t give a lot of rainbow stars. This isn’t a super big deal but would be nice to fix.

Still love the game though! Keep up the great work!! ❤️

by You See Cookie. I See Man

I’ve been playing Cookie Run for more than a year now, and it’s been a blast. The past few updates have caused me to lose interest, however, and though Devsisters is trying, I doubt they can get out of the hole they dug themselves in.
I really like the fact that you can play it over and over again, though! It’s hard to get bored with this game. A specific issue I have with it is that though you can play it for a while, there’s way too much to do. I feel stressed out when I play it (which, frankly, shouldn’t be happening with a video game) because there’s way too many obligations. I feel as if I never get anything done.
A recommendation that I have is to add more familiar cookies, such as Kingdom cookies, since people will probably be more interested if there is a character that they know and love. I would suggest to add cookies that were more popular in the fanbase, like Red Velvet, Espresso, or Pastry.
Despite everything, I still do strongly recommend this game. It has great characters and a wonderful story that leaves you wanting more.

I never wrote a review before and this is my first time.
The reason why I am writing this review is because this is the only game app that I have played the longest and that I really like.
My "struggle" with this game is that there is this new event which is to get the macaron cookie, I already have a progress of 92% getting the cookie but the last mission that I have to do is to collect 3 Lucky Cookie Jar which can only be found in Trophy race, now this is where I'm frustrated, at first I collected one which I thought that this mission would be easy BUT after that "lucky moment" I couldn't find any of these jars in the trophy race anymore even if i entered the trophy race like more than a hundred times which makes me lose some trophies 😭. So then I searched for help on the web and apparently it said that they come only once in everyday but I found nothing, only crystal jars and ingredients pouches. I don't want lose the macaron cookie just because of that one mission that I can't finish which I only have 3 more days to finish and I don't think I can find two Lucky Cookie jars in 3 days, also am broke to buy it. 😭😭🙃

by LicoriseCookie

Hiii! Moonie here! Just to point out, i love this game and all the cookies inside of it, it’s very fun and addicting to play, but I’m sure most of you already know the obvious things being overlooked, the trophy race hardship.

What I mean by that is the fact that when I’m playing in the trophy races, mid way through the race, the game crashes and saves your score as is, without even playing the second cookie, and you end up losing trophies and find yourself in frustration, it’s been happening to a lot of people, including myself, and we find it best if the Devs fixed that.

Second, the “over the top” prices and pop ups. For most of the people playing, I can say that a lot of people would enjoy a game that doesn’t require money to have a good time. Still when a game is constantly shoving offers and deals in your face, it doesn’t make it as fun to play to think for a second about how many times you skipped the offer, the one that could have probably made you a better player. The pop ups are mostly after clicking off of challenges and going back to the lobby. For the most part, some of the prices are fine, at least, In my opinion.

by Tiny Baby Boat

This is probably one of the best games I have ever played! It's so fun and addictive. I really like the art style and the story that the put into ever single individual cookie. They have amazing backgrounds with amazing music in them. Honestly, this game has no problems.
There is only one problem: its the trophy races.
I'm not saying that the trophy races are bad and making the game bad, all I'm saying is when you get to the Twisted Maze Grove and you try to race, it gets super competitive. Usually, I always end it with being in eighth place. Not every player has this problem and some of the others do. This is especially bad when you have been it the Champions League and then you get out of it since you don't have enough trophies. All I'm saying is maybe that the developers make the competition a little easier, but still make it fun and challenging. If they don't, well that's their game and I can't make them change if they don't want to.
Anyway, I really love this game to the fullest content of my heart and it brings me joy to play it every day. Any other running game compared to this is nothing. Keep up the great work!

by AmyLouShoe

I have played this game since it came out, and I still play just about every day. They keep releasing improvements to the game that keep me coming back. I LOVE that it’s all possible to play and compete without having to pay anything! So many games keep the best items as pay to play; this game has everything available without having to pay for it. However, if you want a little boost, you can pay to get whatever help you need (gems, coins, a special cookie, etc.). There is always something new to do, like quests or modes, and they are releasing a lot of new characters and lands that really add to the fun of the game. It really has a fairly simple setup but it can be challenging to master all of it! This is what makes it fun!

While I have had CookieRun crash a lot more recently, really I take that with a grain of salt. Usually it’s more an inconvenience really than something really bothersome; at least it is to me anyway.

Seriously, download this game! You won’t regret it!

by Cosmic-Hunter

I love this game so much, but with any game there are a few nitpicks. Such as the updates, they could really be spaced out more.
The good is that the replayablility is always high, you grind and find new combos to get the highest scores and it’s always a new challenge wherever you see fit. It does lag when you play it upon hours, though I feel like few face this problem since majority of us can’t sit on our phones playing this. However the designs and art of the cookies is always so beautiful and fantastic! Each set of personalities they have are always so cute and unique to their own, it adds a little bit more life to the game. Considering how the devs also try their very best to listen, there hardly is any loss to playing this game.
Onto the bad that can always just be fixed.
The amount of new cookies always catches me off guard since I barely get the other cookie to a decent level then I’m given more treasures and cookies to upgrade and I’m left in the dust.
Also within the new update, I can’t load my previous sets of combis! In breakout mode, the sets are fine and there’s two options, the save and new option of “combi tips”. I can’t load the one I want, there’s no “apply” option like there was before the update.

by Almond Walnut

I’m such a huge fan of this game! It’s amazing, we’ll thought out, amazingly planned. And absolute blast to play! However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have any nitpicks...I only have two! The first is that I wish you could practice with any new cookie you get. The second is that I wish all the cookies had a trial, to help lengthen gameplay! Another thing I have to say are some ideas. I have a whole bunch of cookie and pet ideas! They are: Sushi(non-binary) Cookie and Sushi Roll pet, Chicken(male) cookie and Scaredy Cat pet, Gemini(twin females)Cookies and Gemini Jam pet, Mummy(male)Cookie and Sphinx Cookie pet, Ghost(non-binary)Cookie and Gravestone Candy pet, FrankenCookie(female) and Torch pet, Pumpkin(female) Cookie and Pumpkin pet, Witch(female)Cookie and Broomstick pet, Mirror(non-binary)Cookie and Mirror Jelly pet, Swap(non-binary)Cookie and Swap pet, Opposite(female)Cookie and Shadow Cookie pet, Cave-Cookie(male) and Dinosaur pet, Dango(female)Cookie and Dango Stick pet, Piano(female)Cookie and Piano Keys pet, Spy(female)Cookie and Spy Car pet, Spy(male)Cookie and Spy Boat pet, and finally Baby Cookie(female) and Rattle pet. These are just idea I have(and I’d love to be able to tell you more about them and the rest I’ve made!) I hope you see this! Thank you for reading my ramble and have a good day!

by Variegatus

Let’s get my one real complaint out of the way off the top: this game wants you to spend money on it so bad you’ll think you’re in groundhog day with how many deals and bargains and packages you have to click away from. I seriously wish they’d tone it down.
The only other bad thing I could say about it is strictly personal taste. I prefer simpler, procedurally generated tracks like temple run- being led around by the nose by a line of candy is a little hypnotic in a way I don’t personally enjoy.
Everything else is fantastic. The character designs are adorable, they’re diverse and interesting where they absolutely could’ve gotten away with not having any backstories at all, and there’s always something in this game to DO. I’ve never reached a point in this game where I thought ‘well there’s nothing left to do today, better go do something else.’ You stop when you feel like it and not a moment before.
A complaint I HAD was that there wasn’t any benefit to spending a lot of time using one cookie, but the affection feature has changed that entirely, and now I really can’t think of anything in the actual game mechanics that isn’t solid.

by A Snazzy Gamer

Usually these types of games are pay to play and well this game simply isn’t that, ever since I’ve had the game I’ve been addicted to the fun game mechanics and story behind CR:OV. Another thing I love is how easy it is to get cookies, I’ve never had to pay a single penny on this game and I had half of the cookies in 1-2 months, you never will get bored as you have events all the time and the items are still available after the event that way if you were gone during the time you can still earn them. Now I do have a few tiny problems with the game, I don’t like how hard it is to grind for costumes as the only way to get them is to grind for recourses to make the stuff to buy costumes and you really can’t earn them any other way. I’m also really sad they removed the whole story you got from trophy race, I get that main story replaced it but now skater cookie isn’t there which makes me a little sad, also invocation cards are stupid, they’re only good for common or rare cookies and it takes so long to level those types of cookies up that it honestly isn’t worth it, besides that I really like it and recommend it to anyone who likes runner games with some story in it

by Kitten_Lover604

Personally, I really like crob!! It’s a really fun game and a great way to pass the time!! However, I do have a teeny tiny complaint about one of the cookies’ skill. Just one. That cookie is Ginseng Cookie. Whenever ginseng does the little stomp thingy, 9 times out of 10 it prevents me from collecting what I’m trying to collect in chapter 6 of the main story. Usually when I’m trying to collect the lotus gems ginseng does the little stomp while I’m trying to jump and get them, which makes me miss all of the lotus gems that I would’ve been able to get easily if the stomp hadn’t happened. Maybe could there be like a way that ginseng could have some sort of magnetic thingy that could bring the lotus gems to you so that the skill doesn’t prevent you from collecting them? Either that or completely remove the stomp? I understand if that’s not possible, though; this is just my opinion. Other than that, I think this game is very fun and 100% recommend it. Thanks for reading my review!!

I have been in love with Cookie Run Ovenbreak since late 2020, and my experience has been a blast. With all good games however, there are a few fixes that can be implemented. Something I can suggest is that the updates should be a bit more spread apart. Whenever a new cookie comes out, me being a free to play player, has to do a bunch of work to get a new cookie to a good level, and a new update comes along, leaving me behind in the dust. But at the same time, having many updates can keep the game fresh. The cookies they release are always unique and different in their own ways. All the cookies have unique personalities.
When playing for hours at a time, the game can freeze up a bit, but it’s not too much of a problem especially because not many of us can sit on their phone all day playing this game. All the game modes are very fun and sometimes can be challenging. Some game modes I enjoy playing personally, are Breakout and the newly added Main Story Mode chapters.

UI is pretty cluttered, but that’s standard for an older game, and seems to be pretty necessary in this case to display the many aspects of this game. Despite its complex-looking design, the game itself is actually very intuitive. Beyond that, it’s just flat out fun. Characters are exciting, well designed, and have proven themselves to be easily capable of capturing the players hearts, despite very little story in the actual game. Single player breakout is engaging, challenging, and addictive all on its own; multiplayer trophy races add a whole other layer to the game that is competitive and invigorating. Trials help introduce new characters and also give the player another opportunity to get resources (rank rewards). Memory section adds a little backstory and character history, which helps the player become even more attached to the cookies. I’ve gotten my twin sister to play the game (her fave cookie is pistachio, mine is herb), and she loves it too. All in all, incredible game; developers should be extremely proud. Advice for players: just relax and try not to let competitiveness stress you out (in trophy races). The game is much more fun if you’re not so hard on yourself. : )

I would describe how awesome and adorable this game is, but I have a issue I want to report in Cookie Run Ovenbreak. I don’t know where to report in the game so I’m just going to say it here. (Also, I would recommend this game having a feedback button or a report or something similar like that.) Me and my dear friend were trying to do a Friendly Run but there was a message that popped up when I requested and my friend accepted/I accepted my friend’s request saying that we had a different data so we had to re-open it. I closed the tab and re-opened it and it happened again. We tried multiple times (including re-downloading it) but it never worked. We’re kinda still trying to figure out how to find a solution for this but we couldn’t so does anyone know how to fix this? (At least tell if you have a similar issue like this I had with my friend, (if you want) please.) Thanks. (P.S: if anyone hadn’t played this before or didn’t download it, I gotta tell you, this game is fantastic but there may be some bugs like this. It’s a possibility but I don’t know. Okay I typed too much, haha, alright bye.)

by Enchanted Peach

Sorry in advance for anybody who was looking to see if anyone had a different problem. So I’m currently enjoying the new update, I love the new areas and just joined my first guild. Getting the hang of new levels is fun to me, however sometimes when I’m running in Breakout Episodes or Trophy Race CookieRun will kick me out. Usually in Breakout it will kick me out at random intervals and save where I was last. I can redo the runs but it will cost me tickets. In Trophy Race it will kick me either just before the getting to the land or after the first Cookie running has half of their energy depleted. Most of these occurred when I used Dr. Wasabi’s generator. So far I’m avoiding getting kicked out of Trophy Race by switching my Cookies every two runs and it seems to work. However with all my complaints and ramblings, I am thoroughly enjoying the game. I am thrilled whenever I get a new Cookie and pet and you’re doing an amazing job. That about raps it up, and sorry again for long review. Anyways thanks for reading and keep up the great work!

by PreciousPepperoni

This game is so wonderful, I have to be completely honest. I’ve been looking for a fun game on CookieRun store for a long time that isn’t a pay to win/play, and one that is cute and fun at the same time. My friend got the game a few weeks ago and after seeing that she was quite successful without the use of payment spiked my interest. The music and characters are super cute and the gameplay is visually appealing! I find the escalation in difficulty very stimulating, and there is very little farming aspect because of this gameplay factor. Waiting times are decent if any, you NEVER have to wait to play the actual game like most other free games. I am absolutely addicted. The best part is, this game is not at all pay to play! There are paid offers for characters and bonuses, but if you play for a bit there’s always a chance of winning the (paid for) characters/bonuses in a chest for free! Which makes playing the game even more fun and keeps me playing more and more. Love this game!

by Mysticatproductionsofficial

I absolutely LOVE CR:OB, it’s definitely one of my favorite apps out there. It feels like I’m addicted to this game and got almost all of my friends to join. I love the updates and basically everything about the game. I’ve been playing for at least 2-3 months now, but I had originally started it in 2018 and deleted CookieRun mid 2019, so it was sorta nostalgic for me. As I’ve played, I’ve discovered more and more glitches though.

- In trophy run, the game was lagging and I was dying a lot because of it so I quit the game. It wasn’t lagging because of the low battery because I was at around 40%.

-The dr. Wasabi combi generator is terrible and I would not recommend it to any new players. I was using the cookies my mentor loaned to me in trophy run. They were leveled up to the max and their magic candies were over-powered. I got lots of points with them. When I returned them, the combi generator said that it was the best combi even though when I went to run with my low-level versions of my mentor’s cookies, they only gave me about 20,000,000 points (which isn’t a lot, what I get with my combi now is about 300 million) but I would stop recommending it to players because it only goes by the score you got, not by the power of the cookies.

by Harlequinsprites

I never. NEVER. write app reviews but currently this is my absolute favorite game and I feel like it really deserves it because it’s kept my attention and Ive been loving it.
Cookie Run kinda lures you in with this sort of “Here’s all this free stuff, now you’re winning!” thing most games with in-app purchases do, to make you feel like you’re losing unless you pay money, and it really surprised me in breaking that mold. All in game currencies you can get through playing, even if some of them take a little bit, and I really like that; it makes me want to spend money to support the developers, not because I feel like I have to in order to progress in the game.
I’m also absolutely in LOVE with the character and level designs, and although gameplay is generally repetitive, with the different modes, missions, and combinations, I feel like I don’t run out of things to do until I’ve already completely outworn myself playing for the day.
