Candy box !
« on: May 05, 2013, 05:33:06 pm »

Picked this game up today, it's...much more than meets the eye.
It is one of those games that really shouldn't be explained too much before playing, as most of the fun stems from learning your way around.
(Hint: 60 candies is where the fun starts.)

All I'm getting is a button labelled "Save".

Also, what kind of !!FUN!! is this? Horror !!FUN!! or trippy !!FUN!! ?

Trippy !!FUN!!, I'd say. It does develop into an actual game, eventually, very RPG-ish. But you need more candy!

It's mild, surprising fun.

I've gotten really, really deep into it. It's more than meets the eye.

I don't know why you're only getting that button, though. The game is buggy on Chrome, if you're using that you might want to try a different browser.

I saw it on a forum, but some searching shows that it was featured on Kotaku.com today (hour or so ago), so that would probably explain the server load.

I thought this was an elaborate joke because I just kept eating the candy or throwing it on the ground, not saving up. I ate 120 candies and threw over 300 on the ground.

EDIT: I love this game.

If anyone figures out how to beat hell, let me know. I think I might just have to leave this running overnight to get a bunch of max health. :S And I thought the dragon was hard!

So much candy, I've already eaten more then 60 candies and thrown more then 60, I'm on IE, am I bugging out or is it random when the hijinx start?

It's not about eating or throwing. It's about having.

I love this game. I'm pretty sure that /v/ picked it up first, then it spread. A bunch of people were talking about it on steam a week or two ago.

In my experience, the only way to beat hell is to get really lucky with where you can go up and down, invuln potion the spiked walls, and have the sword of summoning. I have no idea if it's possible with a fire or a life sword. After hell, the game becomes a contest to see how careful you can be with spamming Invuln Potion > Teleport Scroll > Seed(s). After hell is Chuck Norris, and he can instakill me at 2K hp, and after him is the dev place that I haven't beaten yet because it keeps your hp at 3 forever.

Every single part of this game reminds me of Anti-idle. Maybe a little more automated than Anti-idle.

Whoo! Beat it! I had to use a couple invuln potions for the demons, but the ghouls are EASY with summoning sword.

Chuck Norris :(
