Candy-Box
« on: June 06, 2013, 06:43:13 AM »

Candy-Box is an ASCII Based idle/RPG game with lots hidden easter eggs and fun quests. After seeing Cataclsym Dark Days post it reminded me of this for some reason.

What do you think of it?

Its quite a peculiar game. I just left it for a few minutes and went to go eat dinner, came back and now i have 10000 candies. Whoops.
Is the diamond sword the highest tier equipment you can get or can you get better armor, etc?

This will get you through the early game where nothing is really explained: http://pastebin.com/J9wykPcZ
These are the potion recipes: http://pastebin.com/hRc2rwjH

Around the time you do the castle's keep quest, invulnerability potions, teleport scrolls, and magic seeds are the only way to progress. I got bored and stopped playing before beating it, but I have a few more tips for grinding out some candy if you're impatient and don't want to wait a few days for it to accumulate.

Yep, just leave it open in a tab on your browser. That is why the game is an idle game.


Some Hints:
Spoiler
Try clicking on the merchants hat

Also keep clicking on the lollipop as well.

Also you gotta plant more lollipops and upgrade your sword. Your lollipop regen rate will go faster. Highest is 100 lollipop/second
