NO, NO, NO, WHY DID THEY DO THAT? (letter of complaint)

NO, NO, NO, WHY DID THEY DO THAT? (letter of complaint)

(Sorry for the poor photo quality.) WHY ADD AN ENERGY SYSTEM?

I have a very emotional attachment to this game, since I played it when I was a child, and I died MANY times trying to beat the first boss lol.

So when I found out they were going to do a re-release of the game, I was happy, but holy crap, they made the game worse. This energy system ruined the game and left me very disappointed.

I was so excited, until I saw this thing. I know it's a free game, but weren't there other ways to monetize it? I don't know, skins, a battle pass, or the game being paid for at a fair price.(I would pay if it fit my budget)

Bendy Nightmare Run devs, please listen to the community and find another way to monetize. This doesn't make me want to spend money on the game.

A work around for the tickets

Just change the system clock for the tickets to refill. Plus it refills the ink and bacon soup in the shop.

I fucking™ hate this ticket system

First of all I'm happy the game came back, but dude this ticket system is the worse. You can only have 6 max and then you need to wait 30 minutes for it to give you 1 ticket back. At this point let me buy some type of unlimited ticket micro transaction to get rid of this🫩

Nightmare run is good (for a mobile game.)

I wasn’t expecting top notch, head class, 5 star stuff tbh. It’s a running game about Bendy for crying out loud, sure the tickets are annoying but it’s a way for people to not just…blitz through the game all of a sudden. I think what they COULD improve on tickets is adding like a bit more, maybe 10 tickets or 15, as 5 is…not good. But overall for a MOBILE game it’s good. Just needs a few tweaks here and there, also if they wanna be stingy, they should make the tickets replenish every 5-10 minutes.

You are as beautiful as the day I lost you

I played this game since it was originally released many years ago and it sucked that it was taken down for a good while, but I'm glad that it's back and it makes me shed a tear

LA OPERA VOLVIOOOOO

Después de tanto... Volvió!! Cómo ya dije fue mi primer juego de bendy. Lo único que no me está gustando es que ahora hay microtransacciones y hay publicidad, el resto perfecto. También hay una ruta, dónde van a ver clasificaciones, perfiles, etc... Aquí dejo todo

Bendy's Nightmare Run quick first impressions

Game's been out for 30 minutes but I noticed some things immediately from play. Don't consider this a comprehensive post considering I played Chester Act 1 twice

Good stuff:

- You can easily download Nightmare Run again, and for the most part it's identical to BINR at the time of delisting

- The new art (title screen, episodes, and bacon soup icon) are cool though they do clash with the rest of the untouched assets which are currently missing the piss shading, though I imagine they'll be updated as time goes on. Notably the episode logos have also been changed and they all use the standard Bendy logo now

- You immediately start with a magnet, shield and bomb

- The game no longer tries to sell you merch upon startup

- The game will get future support including improvements and new content

Bad stuff:

- An energy system has been introduced in the form of tickets, with one used when you start an act. You can have six at once and one recharges every 30 minutes

- I can't directly prove this but I think this runs worse than the original? I'm on a Sony Xperia III so not that old of a phone and, from my quick guess, the original version (which I've still got installed) runs at 60 FPS while this one runs at I guess 30 FPS? It's not unplayable but it definitely feels not as smooth in comparison considering the game looks identical to the original

- A premium currency has been introduced in the form of Ink but tbf it's a mobile game so makes sense, at least you can get five ink for free (you start with 10) every 12 hours in exchange for watching an ad

Overall I'll have to play more to make a definitive judgement cause there might be further differences, but so far it is a version of Nightmare Run that you don't need to go to a shady site to acquire, and I'm sure most people here will be happy with that, though I do think some of bad stuff is weird considering they aren't in the original
