📋 Fact Sheet
🎮 About the Game
BodegaRun is a one-touch arcade game set in the streets of Brooklyn at night. Players guide a New York-style chopped cheese through an endless gauntlet of Brooklyn-themed obstacles — subway shutters, pigeon swarms, AC drips, taxi doors, and the infamous bodega cat.
The game features a unique "fold" mechanic: hold to compress your chopped cheese and squeeze through tight gaps. Time your folds perfectly for bonus points. Challenge friends by sharing links that recreate your exact run — same obstacles, same seed, pure skill comparison.
🆕 Key Feature: Borough War
Players choose their home borough on first launch — Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg, DUMBO, or Bay Ridge. This choice is permanent. Every point scored adds XP to that borough in weekly competitions. It's neighborhood pride meets competitive gaming.
