## Trivia

* Before its official release, theMeatly sent a pre-alpha copy of this game to YouTubers like Mairusu, FusionZGamer, Razzbowski, Core, etc.
* From each "episode" level buttons, there is a text that reads "*Written and directed by Joey Drew*" meaning that these levels are based on some of the many cartoons for Bendy's animated show.
* The game is probably inspired from *Minion Rush*, *Sonic Dash*, *Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom*, ‘’Subway Surfers’’ and *Temple Run*.
* The drawings and models for the game were done by a entirely separate team from the original game. However, theMeatly's video announcing the game release featured drawing and animations by TimetheHobo.
* The image of Bendy sitting at a primitive computer, which encourages players to get an account for the game, appears to be based upon the 1931 Disney cartoon, *The Barnyard Broadcast*.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine*, inside of Joey's apartment there is a paper note containing ideas for ink machine scripts. One of these is in fact a reference to *Nightmare Run*  with the name "*Bendy Running Away Adventure*" used as a concept.
* This is the only game in the *Bendy Franchise* to have microtransactions.
