Cookie Run for Kakao

Cookie Run (Kakao) (Korean: 쿠키런 : 쿠키들의 오븐탈출 대작전!, lit. Kukileon) is the original and Korean version of Cookie Run. The game was released on April 2nd, 2013. Unlike LINE Cookie Run, this game is based on Kakao Game Platform, a Korean-based social platform similar to LINE. Although it was once released worldwide, the game is now limited to Korean marketplace in both Google Play and App Store.

There's not much of a difference in terms of gameplay in the Kakao version of the game compared to the LINE version, but there are quite small differences in terms of update schedule and in some game logic.

Like other Korean-based game, the Korean version of the game offered a much updated version than the international version. Although it was released nine months earlier than the LINE version, the differences between updates are getting shorter and shorter. The current update differences between Kakao and LINE are 65 days, which is 2 months and 16 days

Difference between the Line and Kakao versions
This does not apply to unreleased content but rather changes from Kakao to (English) Line released content.

Cookies

 * Some of the Cookies names were changed in the Line version.
 * Muay Thai Cookie is "Red Pepper Cookie" (홍고추맛 쿠키).
 * Kiwi Biker Cookie is simply "Kiwi Cookie" (키위맛 쿠키).
 * Tiger Lily Cookie is "Jungle Warrior Cookie" (정글전사 쿠키)
 * Carol Cookie is "Bard Cookie" (음유시인맛 쿠키)


 * Many of the Line Cookies were not released in the same order as in Kakao.
 * Some of these cookies that was released on LINE in Cookie Run: New World are released in Edge of the World in Kakao. We call these cookies as legacy cookies, as they are originally meant to be relevant in older seasons.
 * Also due to some Cookies not being released in the Line version during that time of the Halloween event, some of the Cookie's costumes go unused in Line.
 * Mint Choco Cookie and Cocoa Cookie were released together as a pair.
 * Unlike the Line version, Ninetales Cookie in Kakao is only available to buy during certain events making her a limited addition.
 * Ninetales Cookie also has several different appearances in Kakao based on when the player bought her.
 * Like the Japanese version of Line, Vampire Cookie and Alchemist Cookie are stated to be siblings.
 * In Kakao, Alchemist Cookie is the one who saved Vampire Cookie from the oven.
 * Cheesecake Cookie was said to inherited her rich flavor from Buttercream Choco Cookie and is his daughter.
 * Blackberry Cookie is said to be looking for someone in her Kakao description.
 * Cheerleader Cookie's Kakao description describes hers being made of lemons and mint rather than only drinking lemon juice.
 * Rather than being exposed to dark magic, Devil Cookie is described to be a mix of Angel Cookie's batter and bat extract.
 * Both Cherry Cookie and Cherry Blossom Cookie have a loading message that starts with "Let's play together!" (같이 놀자!) hinting that they have some sort of relation to each other.
 * Cream Puff Cookie in Kakao is not as powerful as in the LINE version. In the Kakao version, all jellies summoned does not gain additional 4,000 points and she also produce mini health potion during big party jelly.

Pets

 * In Kakao, White Gold Drop is, while in LINE it is.

Treasures

 * In Kakao, Gumball Cookie's Jawbreaker Gumball had a 14-24% chance of obtaining 5,000 while in LINE it was 7-12% chance of obtaing  10,000.
 * Squirrel's Refreshing Coconut Water functions differently in the Kakao version. While in the LINE version it revives cookie and gives coin bonus, the Kakao version increase points while surfing and gives 15% extra potion energy, which makes it good for Soda Cookie.
 * Squirrel's Seashell Necklace also functions differently in the Kakao version. While in the LINE version it increases points for jellies while on ride and gives extra Energy on Relay, the Kakao version also increases points for jellies while on ride but it revives the cookie instead of giving extra Energy for Relay.

Ingredients

 * Magic Stone Ornament's color is purple instead of magenta/pink, and is worth 150.

Game Mechanics

 * Kakao version's Boosts functions differently than the LINE version. While players can choose which boost they wanted to use in the LINE version, players will automatically use all of the boost they have if they have one in their arsenal in the Kakao version. Players can choose to use Fast Start and Cookie Relay  during gameplay, so they can still keep the boost should they want to.
 * The boost during gameplay only show Random Boost, Double XP, and Power Jelly Boost . Energy Boost  is not shown during gameplay in the Kakao version, but the effect still applies.
 * This was true in the early seasons of LINE Cookie Run, until some update changed it to the current mechanic.
 * Orange Cookie and Mini Orange Mouse were the first Cookie and Pet to be featured in the Package Deals in Kakao, in contrast with Lime Cookie and Mr. Limeguard in LINE.

Events

 * Interestingly, the LINE version got the 25-day Daily Bonus first before the Kakao version, which recently implemented it on September 2015.
 * In Collect Moonlight Pieces, instead of Werewolf Cookie, Ninetales Cookie was featured in this event. It was to promote chuseok (추석), Korean Thanksgiving, while the LINE version only promoted the full moon of late September. Also, in the Kakao version, when you put together the moon pieces, it revealed a secret code in which you could redeem 10.
 * The ingredient reward was Moonlight Evening Primrose in the Kakao version instead of Golden Goose Liver.

Others

 * Kakao version has only Korean language option, meanwhile LINE version is available in English, Thai, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Previously, LINE Cookie Run even added support for Spanish.
 * The support for Spanish disappeared with 'Edge of The World' update.

Trivia

 * The Edge of the World's Korean name, 격변의 전조, literally translates to "The Sign of the Huge Change."
 * Line and Kakao both run on GMT+9. The new day takes on midnight in GMT+9, which equals 3 p.m. in GMT.
 * The Korean Cookie Run's weekly ranking ends at every Sunday, 9:00 p.m. (GMT+9), like the Line version.
 * Line Cookie Run's first season loading image is exactly the same as Kakao Cookie Run's 2nd Story loading image, though Cheerleader Cookie, Skating Queen Cookie, Special Force Cookie, and Hero Cookie were not released in the first Line version yet.
