Cookie Tap Tap One mistake ends the run. That is the entire game. A cookie fades. You reach half a second too late, and 62.0 seconds of perfect streak is gone. No lives. No continues. Just a number, and the certainty that it cannot last. **TWO WAYS TO HOLD YOUR NERVE** PLAY CLASSIC — Tap before they fade. Cookies appear, linger for a moment, and vanish. PLAY FALLING — Catch before they drop. Cookies fall from the top and you catch them in a basket. Your score is your streak in seconds, plus the cookies you caught getting there. **NOT EVERYTHING IS A COOKIE** A cupcake. A slice of cake. A donut. A scoop of ice cream. A pie. Tap any of them and it ends instantly: "That wasn't a cookie." Late in a run, when you have stopped thinking and started reacting, this is what gets you. **IT ONLY GETS FASTER** Every catch tightens the screws. In Classic, a cookie's visible time shrinks from a full second down to half of one, new cookies arrive every 0.7 seconds instead of every 1.2, and up to two sit on screen at once. In Falling, the drop speed has no upper limit at all — past 100 catches it just keeps accelerating until you cannot keep up. **FIVE BAKERIES, UNLOCKED MID-RUN** Bakeries open based on cookies caught inside a single run, and four of them change the run you are already in. • Chocolate Chip — open from the start. • Sugar Cookie — 9 cookies. Sweet Lingering: cookies stay visible 20% longer. • Peanut Butter — 16 cookies. Soft Touch: peanut butter cookies grow 30% larger and easier to hit. • Oatmeal Raisin — 25 cookies. Second Chance: your first missed cookie is forgiven — the only exception in the game. • Snickerdoodle — 36 cookies. Golden Touch: snickerdoodles count as two cookies each. Second Chance is the cruelest of them. Knowing you have a cushion is exactly what makes you rush. **A STREAK WORTH DEFENDING** Pick a username and your best goes up on the global leaderboard, with a separate board for Classic and for Falling so one mode never hides behind the other. Game Center leaderboards are here too, all-time and global. **WHAT IS NOT IN HERE** No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No tracking. No account beyond the username you choose. Nothing in here is trying to sell you something in the middle of a run. Tap the cookie. Do not tap anything else. Find out how long you last.
