LINE Cookie Run – How to get more coins and free crystals

LINE Cookie Run is a smash hit new endless runner game from Devsisters and published by NAVER Japan, makers of the LINE social network (which is incidentally the top competitor to WhatsApp, the network that Facebook just spent enough money on to purchase 1,000 Bugatti Veyrons). You’re a gingerbread cookie trying to escape from the witch’s oven, with random pets that can assist you along the way. Coins are the main currency of LINE Cookie Run, while crystals are the premium currency. Read on to find out how to get more of both!

The bulk of your coins will be earned in your runs. Silver coins are worth 1 coin apiece, while gold coins are worth 10 coins apiece – so if you want to max out your coins, jump for the gold ones any time that you see them.

Don’t be so singlehandedly focused on the coins that you miss everything else though, including jellies and power ups (and energy boosts), because going a long distance and getting a high score is, naturally, going to get you a lot of coins in the process. Get all of the BONUSTIME letters to go flying into the air, where you will naturally collect loads of coins.

Increase your experience level and you’ll earn a large coin bonus, but load up on gift points, and you have the chance to earn MASSIVE coin bonuses. Send lives back and forth with friends, and invite friends whenever you get the chance. Share, beat scores, etc. Each 100 gift points will earn you a lucky draw, which have the potential to earn you huge coin bonuses.

Purchase new pets for coin bonuses, and purchase cookies such as the Buttercream Choco Cookie, which starts off with a 5% coin bonuses, and increases as you level it up. Certain pets work by transforming objects into coins, while others simply help you get farther into a stage one way or another.

More crystals can be earned two ways. The main way is through leveling up, which earns you bonus crystals. Also, check your main for various events, as these events present you with limited-time quests, which earn you free crystals for completing them.
