What Cookies Must Die is about
You play Jack, a secret agent with powers that government scientists built into his body. His job is to stop evil, mutated cookies and their bosses before they flatten his city.
Rebel Twins made the game. The developer says it won an award at the 2020 Google Indie Games Festival and comes from the team behind Dragon Hills and Daddy Was A Thief. The listing rates it Teen, so it is aimed at players of that age and older who want shooting and fast action.
Swipe controls and slow-motion aiming
Movement runs on swipes: a swipe makes Jack jump or run across the platform stages. The developer describes it as easy to pick up and harder to master.
A slow-motion effect lets you slow the action down to line up precise shots. The listing pitches this as the core shooting skill, so the level design relies on timing your jumps and aim together.
Boss battles against mutant enemies
Enemies include deadly jellies, angry cookies and threatening chocolates, each described as sweet but dangerous. The listing mentions many more characters beyond these.
The largest fights are boss battles. The developer says you beat them with smart movement and skill rather than by simply firing faster, and the bosses are described as huge.
Weapons, characters and power-ups to unlock
You choose a weapon before entering the battlefield, and the listing says weapons can be upgraded. Characters can be upgraded too, and the game includes explosive power-ups that are unlocked over time.
These upgrades give you a reason to replay stages with different loadouts. The listing does not describe how unlocking works beyond saying the items are available to unlock.
Achievements and leaderboards with friends
The game includes achievements to earn and leaderboards to compare scores. The listing presents these as a way to compete with friends, so the social side sits on top of the single-player stages.
Both features run alongside the shooting, so a session can be about beating your own best or about climbing a friend list.
