Cookie Cutter

About

Cookie Cutter is a 2D platformer mixing Metroidvania exploration with punchy RPG mechanics. You play Cherry, an android fueled by fury to track down her captured creator across a crumbling sci-fi megastructure. Combat leans into fast-paced action with chainsaws, ranged weapons, and environmental takedowns. The world is a maze of vertical levels, hidden labs, and shifting hazards, all rendered in sharp hand-drawn art. Progress relies on mastering Cherry’s abilities to backtrack and unlock new areas while slicing through waves of enemy forces. The game stands out for its stark visual contrast between vibrant synth-pop colors and grim, decaying environments. Its 200-year backstory unfolds through scattered logs and dialogue, framing a power struggle between Cherry’s rebel crew and a megalomaniacal regime exploiting android labor. With a runtime around 8-10 hours, it balances tight platforming challenges with a story fixated on raw, unfiltered vengeance. Early access reviews praise its frenetic energy and art direction, though some note uneven pacing in later acts.

Storyline

Rage against the dying world, sugar. The Void. The Matter. The Megastructure. A dystopian world with an egomaniac leader determined to unveil the secrets of the universe. INFONET promised a utopia built on the backs of tireless androids called Denzels. It was a lie. 200 years later the planet is decaying and the mysterious Red Seed has been stolen. Raz, a renegade mechanic, searches a hidden lab and discovers the Denzel Cherry, butchered and left for dead, clinging to life by sheer will alone. Her creator—and the love of her life, Doctor Shinji Fallon—has been taken by a demented sicko and Cherry intends to make him—and anybody or anything who gets in her way—pay. Fueled by love and powered by rage, join Cherry on a blood-soaked quest for revenge as she explores the massive Megastructure and eviscerates the armies of INFONET in an unforgettable over-the-top 2D platformer that breaks tropes and bones.
