Bendy's Nightmare Run is back! Run as Bendy, Boris, or Alice in a nightmare-fueled endless runner where the goal is simple: survive the chase and defeat crazy cartoon bosses. RUN FROM TROUBLE Dash through four themed episodes filled with enemies, obstacles, collectibles, weapons, and powerups. Swipe left and right to move, swipe up to jump or double jump, and swipe down to slam onto enemies as you race away from increasingly difficult bosses. Collect Bacon Soup and XP as you run, and use your rewards to unlock characters, levels, weapons, costumes, and powerful upgrades. DEFEAT THE BOSSES Every level puts you in a chase against a unique cartoon boss. Collect weapons during your run to throw them back at that big, bad bully. Dodge attacks, manage your health, use powerups, and defeat the boss before it defeats you. FOUR NIGHTMARISH EPISODES Explore four original environments, each with its own boss: • Bendy in Treasure Trouble — Dash across sandy islands, wooden docks, and pirate ships while Chester the treasure chest chases you through the tropics. • Bendy in Death and Taxis — Race through city streets and tunnels to escape Gaskette, a taxi cab with a death wish ... yours. • Bendy in Soup Gone Bad — Fight your way through a smelly trash dump while sharp-edged Canoodle tries to cut you down to size. • Bendy in Dewey Decimated — Crash through a not-so-quiet library, along bookshelves and across tabletops, while inky Dewey tries to spear you with his pointy pen. • Who else will Bendy have to escape from? More bosses and episodes to come! Stay tooned! PLAY AS BENDY, BORIS, OR ALICE Choose from three characters from the Bendy universe. Collect character-specific XP and Bacon Soup as you play, then use your rewards to unlock characters, discover new levels and weapons, unlock costumes, and upgrade your powerups and equipment. More beloved characters to come! TAKE ON NIGHTMARE MODE Complete all five levels in an episode to unlock Nightmare Mode. Keep running and try to defeat the boss again and again, pushing your score higher until the nightmare finally consumes you. COMPLETE OBJECTIVES Each level includes objectives that challenge you to master your run. Collect Bacon Soup, defeat bosses without taking damage, and complete other objectives as you work towards unlocking all the good stuff. MORE CARTOON CRAZINESS TO COME! Get ready for endless mode, player profiles, leaderboards, new costumes, seasonal events, new episodes, new bosses and more!

And the levels don’t look the same either anymore it just feels off. But still a pretty good game. Canoodles my favorite. Edit-The game is much better after update 2.0.3 and definitely deserves 5 stars. tbh i mainly do nightmare runs since they keep me busy on long roadtrips i had and I can’t wait for the new nightmare run coming out hopefully soon on the roadmap. ### 5/5 — Love the game but… *2026-09-08* I love this game but there is some problems like in death and taxes when you beat the boss in an act when the taxi runs away and turns around have of his body might go through the wall Also on this map in the tunnel in the background when an flier enemy jumps it might go through the roof of the tunnel and come back down but I do love the game and I beat every act in one day+ No Ads! Unless you want 5 ink. ### 5/5 — Love it as much as the og, just have one little tip for Nightmare mode *2026-09-08* As much as I love the game and nightmare mode is easy to understand. One thing I wish was included in that mode, everytime you defeated the boss in nightmare mode. You’d see a counter of how many times you’ve defeated it that time. Obviously you get the counter at the end when you inevitably die. But I think for people trying to go for a record or maybe step away from their phone and forget. It’d be nice to see just how many times you’ve beaten that boss. Also having something similar when selecting it in the level selection would be nice ### 5/5 — Fun, smooth, polished game *2026-09-07* The game feels buttery smooth and has second to no bugs or glitches. The game looks beautiful with its old cartoon style and the games difficulty is well balanced from easy to very difficult. I also don’t find the ticket system all that irritating just wish it wasn’t 20 minutes just to play one round. Great game, highly recommend. ### 5/5 — ELE VOLTOU! *2026-09-07* Eu amava jogar esse jogo em 2019; eu fiquei tão feliz que gritei de alegria quando o jogo voltou pra loja! Espero que venha mais atualizações desse jogo pra colocar mais fases nesse jogo pois eu vou jogar TODAS as novas fases que eles lançarem ### 5/5 — Good to have it back *2026-09-06* I’m so glad this game is back because I used to love it back before it was removed the ticket system is the only con but for the most part it’s so good to have this game back :) ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-09-05* This game is so fun unlike subway surfers or any other rip off I love the way you need to throw things at the monsters🥹. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Василиса Хонина *2026-09-04* Ого! Мне нравится это игра! Я ещё никогда не играла!! ### 4/5 — W GAME!!! *2026-09-01* This game is a great way to invest time, and I really love how this game is depicted and all, but one problem, the ticket system is kinda annoying when you want to play, but overall I say it’s a good game ### 5/5 — Tickets *2026-09-01* Absolutely loved playing this game when I was younger and am so glad I get to love it again now when I play, yet the ticket system only allowing me to play a certain amount before having to pay makes it equally frustrating. This game is perfect and I’d hate to see it become a game that actually stops you playing. Please remove this system- I’d rather pay for the game itself than pay to play. Overall such an amazing game thanks for bringing it back 😁. ## Frequently asked questions about Bendy's Nightmare Run ### What is Bendy's Nightmare Run?
