General

Cookie Run is a game based in South Korea, created by a relatively small company called Devsisters Corp. that has since expanded since the launch of the game. Once its popularity sprouted in Korea, it then spread to Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan through mobile messengers like KakaoTalk, Line, and WeChat. Cookie Run is based on the "freemium" model, which offers the basic game for free while encouraging users to pay in smaller doses for virtual in-game items or abilities.

Gameplay
Cookie Run is a series of online mobile running games, with the most recent, non spin-off game being Cookie Run: OvenBreak, which features an ever-expanding collection of cookies, support pets, and useful treasures, all bearing a different number of points depending on the combination used. Cookie Run at the moment includes 6 modes, with other modes that will come and go for events. Their most recent release, Cookie Run: Kingdom, has similar mechanics but branches off into the stories of the cookies in an ongoing narrative

Cookie Run limits the number of consecutive games a user can play through by starting the players off with 5 hearts, where one heart is consumed for each run. Once the player runs out of hearts, they can either buy more hearts, wait 7 minutes for another heart to generate, or send an invite to a friend in exchange for a heart.

OvenBreak released 15 June 2009. Since its release, it updated to OvenBreak 2 on 11 December 2012, but on 11 December 2013, it was announced that the game would be delisted from the Appstore.

In Summer 2012, Skittles integrated its brand within OvenBreak as part of a sponsorship program through a new play mode, which features Skittles in the gameplay and in the game's home screen.
