Apparently you can invite friends to unlock more characters. I think. It's just a huge mess!

You can also buy treasures. Although there's no way to actually do it. The Add button just tells you you don't have any treasures. Whoops! By the way, clicking on the "Upgrade a Treasure" brings you to a screen you can't back out of as the X to close the window is off the screen. Double whoops! Had to restart the app at this point.

This one is the upgrade screen. To actually upgrade or buy anything, you need to click on the button on the right side of the screen that is partially hidden. The power-ups are exact clones: One is for more HP, longer boosts, double XP, fast start and random. Dunno about the last one, I didn't bother checking it out since the game is just so bad.

Okay, let's actually try playing the game...

...yeah, I died quick in the game. You can't really accurately determine where the pits and obstacles are since everything is out of whack. No, I didn't run out of HP in the air, I ran out of HP colliding into an invisible object. At least the first pet you come with has a Magnet Jelly-like effect, which IS an upgrade over the Drop of Choco pet you'd get when you start Cookie Run.

Final verdict? The only two good things out of this was how hilariously bad it was and how it went through testing and approving without a second glance AND the first pet is a pretty good pet to start with.

10/10, GOTY, will play again It didn't glitch at all when I played it though. Still, crappy ripoff. The starter character and pet are identical to Brave Cookie and Drop of Choco, and they copied everything in the original game, even down to character ranks and the Gift Points system. Not to mention the Invite Event (the prizes are nearly identical, and they've got their own variant of a Gold Drop too).

LINE should really sue these people. Interesting, I didn't know the first pet you get is the same as Drop of Choco. The game is just so buggy on my tablet it's just hard to tell.

Also geesh. The balant copy is just annoying, but unfortunately due to the laws here in the US you can't sue someone for copying you unless the other person copies everything down to the exact last detail, and since Cookie Run and Lep's World Run are different looks-wise DevSisters cannot actually sue them. I mean, there's a TON of Temple Run and Clash of Clans clones in the app store but they haven't been taken down because they're different from each other.

Sad, I know, but it's just the way how things are here in America.
