Cookiesaner

Most bullet heavens give you a health bar. Cookiesaner gives you a belly to protect it.

Cookiesaner stars Cookie - a real apricot maltipoo with one rule: steal every scrap of Balkan food she can find. The catch? Every bite makes her bigger. And the bigger she gets, the harder she hits, the slower she moves and the more her belly can take a hit FOR her.

Your belly is your shield

Eat enough and Cookie's gut becomes armour. From Stage 2 on, an incoming hit can BELLY BOUNCE — her belly soaks the blow and she drops a fat layer instead of losing health. Get fat, get tanky... but get slow. Stay lean, stay fast, stay fragile. Every run asks the same question: how fat do you dare to get?

Build before you run:

Pick a Pre-Run Plate before each run — one starting edge that reshapes the whole game:

• Sharp Teeth — hit harder all run (aggro)

• Big Heart — start with bonus health (tank)

• Keen Nose — pull in food from further away (collector)

Same Cookie. Different run every time.

Steal across the Balkans

Cookie raids from Ljubljana's Tivoli park to Sarajevo's Baščaršija old town — slipping past street cats, furious waiters, rival dogs and the dog-catcher who wants her off his streets. Every pickup is a real Balkan dish or drink: ćevapi, burek, baklava, bosanska kahva, rakija and each one changes how she fights. Outlast the head waiter guarding his kitchen and you'll see why she keeps coming back for more.

Made by one person, in Godot

No team, no publisher, no funding. Cookie is real — the rest is one developer, a love of bullet heavens, and the food he grew up on.
