Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Cookiesaner already has its heart: the Stomach mechanic, BELLY BOUNCE, the Balkan world, and a core run that's fun start to finish. Early Access lets players shape what comes next: which biomes, bosses, foods and builds make the cut. A bullet heaven lives or dies on feel, and the fastest way to nail the feel is to tune it alongside the people actually playing it.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6-12 months, depending on how fast the content roadmap comes together. The goal is to leave Early Access late and right, not early and thin.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to make the full version grow the world: more Balkan biomes, more bosses, a deeper food roster, more Pre-Run Plate cards and build paths, food/weapon evolutions, more unlockable characters/modes and a daily-seed leaderboard. The core loop stays the same; the content and depth around it expand.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A complete, playable bullet-heaven loop: the full Stomach mechanic, the BELLY BOUNCE defence, Pre-Run Plate builds, two Balkan biomes, a mini-boss and a boss fight, and an original soundtrack. Runs are satisfying right now - Early Access is about adding depth and variety on top.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access price reflects the current content. As the game grows toward 1.0 the price may rise, so wishlisting now is the best way to get in early.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam Community forums and direct player feedback. Solo development means a short distance between "players want this" and "this is in the next build."”

About This Game

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.

Features:

• The Stomach State Machine — eat to grow across weight stages, each one changing how Cookie plays

BELLY BOUNCE — the bullet heaven where your fat is your defence

• Pre-Run Plate build-craft — shape each run before it starts

• A real Balkan world — Ljubljana's Tivoli to Sarajevo's Baščaršija, with more locales on the Early Access roadmap

• A roster of Balkan foods, each with its own effect

• A mini-boss and a boss showdown — with more bosses arriving in Early Access

• An original sevdah-influenced soundtrack

Cookiesaner is heading into Early Access. Wishlist now — you'll know the moment Cookie's off the leash.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some art and music in Cookiesaner were created with AI-assisted tools: Image generation for sprites and backdrops, and AI-assisted music, then curated, edited, and finished by the solo developer alongside hand-craft and original composition. No AI-generated content is created at runtime; every asset is fixed and reviewed before it ships.
