Cookie's Bustle

About

Cookie's Bustle is a point-and-click adventure where you help a young girl named Cookie navigate the peculiar world of Dero City. The gameplay focuses on simple controls, move Cookie by pointing the cursor and let her wander into interactions automatically. Exploration drives the story as you uncover clues and progress toward a goal: entering a chaotic sports tournament. Once there, you’ll tackle minigames tied to each event, blending puzzle-solving with slapstick physical challenges. The game’s charm lies in its offbeat sci-fi setting. A UFO crash centuries earlier reshaped a small island nation, blending alien tech with local culture. Developer Rodik, Inc released this quirky title in 1999, positioning it as a lighthearted mix of mystery and humor. While the story leans into absurdity, think alien trade deals and kid athletes, it remains a curious relic of early 2000s adventure games. Players looking for retro-style narratives with minimal combat might find it nostalgic, though the dated visuals and pacing won’t appeal to everyone.

Storyline

In the 19th century, a UFO crash-landed in the tiny South Pacific country of Bombo World. In exchange for advanced technology, Bombo World traded the northern part of the island to the aliens, where they established their city of Dero City. A hundred years later, Dero City has become famous for its annual sports tournament. A five-year-old girl named Cookie Blair travels alone in the hopes of competing, but will she be pulled into something larger?
