User blog:Kevsuc/Review of Cookie Run season 2

So far, the Season 2 of Cookie Run has been so great and much have been anticipated by Cookie Run players and cookie eaters around the world. Much changes to the Season 2 has been significantly noted in comparison with the Season 1.

First, you may notice that each stages are shorter than the first season. So upgrading your Energy Potion may have a huge difference.

Second, you may also notice that more Pink Bear Jellies, Yellow Bear Jellies, and Gold Coins appear much more often than before. Even, the game includes Giant Bear Jellies and Giant Gold Coins (worth 100 coins) occasionally appear before you hit the Energy Potion or during certain stages. This effect will cause many players can achieve bigger high scores without using any boosts. So far, my personal record was 3,1 million points (excluding level bonus) and 2,100+ coins (excluding treasure bonuses) using Angel Cookie and Wishing Star combo, even I miss two or three hit, so I bet you can get more than just my 3,1 million.

Third, there are now two different layouts for Bonus Time. The first layout was the classic - rainbow, clouds, and sky - background (and music theme) with some adjustments into the jellies and coins that appear. You will get this at your first, third, fifth, and so on (every even numbers). The second layout was the space-themed background (with its uniquely new music theme). This space theme has difference, that bear jellies and coins appears in three rows (top, center, bottom) and always has a blast jelly in the start of each row. If you are using any cookie or treasure with magnetic aura, you'll gonna love this, because the chance to earn the blast jellies and every jellies and coins are much easier and fun. Plus, at the end of the bonus time, the blast jelly effect is still remaining in normal stages.

Fourth, the letter "U" appears more often in several layouts seen before and after each Energy Potion. This gives you more advantage during the game, because (based on my experience) the letter "U" was the least appearing letter compared to other Bonus Time letter jellies. With less short-jumping stages that often gives "BOMI", "SO-SO-SO-SO", and "TIME" jellies, each letter has much equal percentage to appear and for you to earn. (Keep in mind that these assumption were based on personal judgement in one day playing Season 2, not with statistical count/data.)

'''Fifth, new (but animated) obstacles are introduced. '''New obstacles are including:


 * forks and voodoo doll falling just before your cookie is going to pass


 * zombie hand suddenly appears from the ground ready to catch your cookie (and loses energy, of course)


 * flamingo's mouth or floating obstacles moving up and down


 * lava burst and cacti doll suddenly appear behind your cookie


 * the path will fall down after your cookie steps


 * some other obstacles that will have animations, like the bear trap

While such new obstacles will "wow" you out, those moving obstacles requires you to be quick responding to those obstacles, or you may fall or getting run out of energy easily. Some jellies are also appear as a booby trap, so your cookie may hit an obstacle or falling down after you earn them, such as doing double jumps to earn the "Bonus Time Jellies" in the third stage or the Giant Gold Coin in the fourth stage. Since then, using magnetic aura is a critical advantage for winning more points while avoiding obstacles.

Regardless of more difficult changes to the obstacles, I personally think the stage designs for the Season 2 has more attractive appearance and also, has much connection with the original storyline of the game. The game introduces you with the story that a cookie that escapes from the evil witch that is going to bake those cookies. The stages are starting with the heatful oven, then the dinner table on the witch's house, then the haunted forest, and so on.

I hope my review will cover up many things you love and you don't about Season 2. Please don't hesitate to leave a comment, and let's RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
