Over The Top Action Game With Lots of Sweets and Slow-mo

Cookies Must Die reminded me of a flash game era with its artstyle, music, and animations. It's filled with over the top action scenes and silly humor. And it's not a bad thing at all! This type of setting gives the game a bit more charm in my opinon.

Gameplaywise it's a super simple action game, but a bit unintuitive in the beginning. I expected lots of shooting involved in this game just from looking at the screenshots, but in reality the gameplay is mostly about meleeing the cookies by swinging to them and avoiding their gun shots. And even if you pick up a gun after you pass the beginning levels, the ammo here is very limited. So your main weapon for the base character at the very beginning will be good old knuckles.

The gameplay loop is addicting and the missions are very straightforward - kill the cookies and then their boss. Which is not entirely true since not all enemies are exactly cookies... there are cupcakes, marshmallows, bubble gums and all sorts of evil sweet stuff. It's not really my type of game and the ads here are annoying in the free version, but they will let you unlock lots of useful stuff like upgrades, equipment, revives, and etc. But I felt very reluctunt to buy the ad-free version of the game since it didn't really stick with me for some reason. Although I can see the appeal of putting more time into this game even on the free version. I'd say it's still worth giving a try :D

Also, don't be like me and try to rush this huge marshmallow guy here. I still don't know what's the best strategy to beat him T_T
