Breakout Mode


 * Yogurca Harbor.jpg

Breakout Mode is a gamemode featured in Cookie Run: OvenBreak. In this mode, multiple Cookies are used in a relay run to reach a weekly high score. Stages in Breakout Mode flow directly from one stage to the next, and after a Cookie runs out of Energy, the next Cookie starts where they left off. Different Breakout Episodes are playable, with unique stages and mechanics in each.

Rules
All Cookies, Pets, and Treasures can only be used once per Breakout run. All Cookies must be matched to a Pet to run. If the number of Cookies & Pets needed is greater than the amount owned, the player can only run with as many as they have.

After each Cookie finishes running, you have the option to either continue to the next relay, or return to the main screen. In the event the player makes a mistake or wants to change their combi, a run can be retried using Breakout Replay Tickets. The price of reset increases by one ticket each time, up to five tickets per reset. Crystals can be used if not enough tickets are owned. Once one Cookies' run is ended and the next relay is available, the finished run can't be retried. The entire Breakout can be restarted at any time for free.

Light Spheres can be collected in Breakout Mode, and exchanged for rewards at the Breakout Shop, notably Legendary Cookies and Pets.

After one week, all participants will receive a Breakout Reward, and high scores will reset. Light Spheres will respawn as well. Every Breakout Reward has Crystals, and a score of at least Diamond V rank additionally gives a Legendary Cookie or Pet, with each episode having its own Legendary selection. For episodes with multiple associated Legendary units, only one can be selected when the reward is recieved. The Breakout Rewards from different Episodes do not happen on the same day.

Friendship Energy can be exchanged with friends in Breakout Mode. Exchanging Friendship Energy will give one extra Energy to both friends' Cookies, or two extra Energy if the players are Facebook friends. Friendship Energy can be exchanged with multiple friends to add up to 20 extra starting Energy, which will apply to all Cookies run in the Breakout Episode until the next Breakout Reward.

List of Breakout Episodes
There are five different Breakout Episodes, but only three are available to be played. New episodes replace old ones when added, and old episodes are planned to be rotated back in on occasion, though so far this has only happened once.

Escape from the Oven

 * Stages: 25
 * Cookies: 12
 * Breakout Reward: Sea Fairy Cookie, Fire Spirit Cookie, or Dark Enchantress Cookie

This Episode features the cookies escaping from the Witch's Oven and going on an adventure to new worlds. This was the first episode released along with the Season 2 update, and is the longest episode, being the only Episode to be split into chapters. After being replaced by Sands of Yogurca, this Episode returned in December 2019 in a condensed form with shorter stages and 12 Cookies per run instead of 20.

Sands of Yogurca
This Episode features Alchemist Cookie sailing to the faraway city of Yogurca, and working with Yogurt Cream Cookie to find the cause of a blizzard recently seen in the desert. This is the only episode to feature branching paths and story cutscenes. Sands of Yogurca was added along with the Season 4 reworks to Breakout Mode, and so it was the first Episode designed with Light Spheres.
 * Stages: 12 (8 per run)
 * Cookies: 10
 * Breakout Reward: Thundersnow Yeti

The City of Wizards
This episode features the exploration of the city abandoned by the anicent wizards and protected by Moonlight Cookie. These stages previously appeared in The City of Wizards Events as well as the The City of Wizards (LINE). This Episode was added during The City of Wizards: The Wizard Archives, and replaced Black Sugar Pirate Ship.
 * Stages: 9
 * Cookies: 3
 * Breakout Reward: Moonlight Cookie or Dreamcatcher

City of the Millennial Tree
Originally released as Breakout Episode 2 with the Season 3 update, this Episode features an adventure through the City of the Millennial Tree and its ancient temples and altars, including the throne room cursed by Pomegranate Cookie. The stages feature a large amount of vertical mobility, and many Cookies and Pets didn't function well with this feature and were not allowed as a result. This episode was replaced by Escape from the Oven when it returned.
 * Stages: 11
 * Cookies: 7
 * Breakout Reward: Millennial Tree Cookie, Magmabird, or Emerald Golem

Black Sugar Pirate Ship
Originally released as Special Episode 1, this Episode was dedicated to Coin Farming, and scoring was uniquely based only on Coins collected. Cookies did not get tired from running in this episode, which was particularly useful for Cheesecake Cookie and Mint Choco Cookie, though there was a daily limit of total Coins received to balance this. This episode also previously contained Ancient Coin Pouches which could be used to purchase items from the Ocean Shop, the precursor to the Breakout Shop.
 * Stages: 3
 * Cookies: 3
 * Breakout Reward: Ocean Dragon

Breakout Shop
The Breakout Shop was introduced to replace Mystery Boxes and the Ocean Shop. It uses Light Spheres as currency.

Most Legendary Cookies and Pets are sold here. Each of them has the same price of 1,000 Light Spheres, and after one is purchased, it cannot be bought for another week. The Millennial Tree Jelly Set and Pirate Cookie's Sea Overlord Costume were moved here and are sold under the Cosmetics tab. A variety of consumable items appear in the general Items section, including Pet Eggs and Cookie Chests, Coins, and Treasure Incantations. Only a few items are available at a time, with stock changing daily, and an item may be on sale for up to 50% off.

Light Spheres
Light Spheres are found in fixed positions in Breakout Episodes, and can be collected once per week, resetting when the Breakout Reward is received. The collectible Light Spheres come in two varities, yellow ones worth 5 Light Spheres and blue ones worth 15. During a x2 Light Spheres event, these values do not change, but more Light Spheres will appear in spots they normally do not.

Mini Cookie Jar
Mini Cookie Jars were found in Breakout Mode before the Season 4 rework. They contained a small number of Common Cookies or Pets (despite the name and appearance), as well as a single Rare Cookie or Pet.

Witch's Jar
Before the September 28, 2018 expansion of the City of the Millennial Tree, the Weekly Reward was known as the Witch's Jar. Instead of guaranteed Crystals and Legendary Cookies or Pets, the Witch's Jar would have random items inside, and better high scores would give better quality Jars. The high score could be set on either episode, and there were no relative scoring ranks.

Mystery Boxes
Before the Season 4 rework, items currently available in the Breakout Shop were available from two different sources, depending on the Episode. Episodes 1 and 2 had Mystery Boxes, and the Special Episode had Ancient Coin Pouches.

Mystery Boxes functioned similarly to the Mystery Boxes in Cookie Run (LINE). Five different types of Mystery Box were available, one for each of the four Chapters in Episode 1 and one for Episode 2. Mystery Boxes would fly like an Ingredient Pouch in Episode 1 or float in place in Episode 2, and they would be opened after a Cookie finishes running. Mystery Boxes could contain Crystals, Coins, or a Mystic Jewel, with Boxes of the same type giving the same type of Jewel. After enough Mystic Jewels of one type were collected, they could be exchanged for a random reward from a Reward List, in a fashion very similar to the Mystic Jewels in the Champions League.

Each type of Mystery Box and Mystery Jewel was aesthetically themed after the area it was found in, and the Cookies, Pets or Treasures on the Reward List matched the theme as well. Chapter 1 had a Witch theme, with a Supreme Cookie Chest and Supreme Pet Egg as rewards. Chapter 2 had a water theme, and Sea Fairy Cookie and Ice Pearl Coral were on the Reward List. Chapter 3 had a fire theme, and Fire Spirit Cookie and the Red Egg of Resurrection as rewards. Finally, Chapter 4 had a demonic theme, and Dark Enchantress Cookie and Candy Cane Staff of Darkness as rewards. Fewer Mystery Jewels were required for a reward here due to Chapter 4 being only three stages long and taking a long time to reach. The Mystic Jewels in City of the Millennial Tree could give Magmabird or Emerald Golem, as well as Millennial Tree Cookie after he was added, though Jewels were harder to get than in Episode 1.

Ancient Coin Pouches
Black Sugar Pirate Ship had Ancient Coins instead of Mystery Boxes, found in random amounts in Ancient Coin Pouches. These appeared in the same fixed positions, but whether they actually appeared was semi-randomly determined based on how many runs the player had already done, as the more runs the player had done in a day, the less Pouches appeared.

These Coins could be spent at the Ocean Shop for Ocean Dragon, Pirate Cookie's Sea Overlord Costume, and various Cookies, Pets, and Magic Candy Ingredients.
