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!
