I won't spoil too much, but you'll discover a few complex mechanics, like the Cauldron that lets you mix potions (using an expertly code/text-crafted recipe book). It's also entertaining because the game's mechanics are slowly peeled away as you spend more time with it. Maybe it's due to the visibility – rather than waiting 12 hours for an object to suddenly finish (ahem, Farmville) you watch the numbers grow and can use them instantly, on anything.
There are games that let you grow your skills or farms passively, without any work, and they tend to be boring but Candy Box somehow manages to make it interesting. I left my browser open overnight and reaped the lollipop benefits the next day. You don't actually see anything grow: it's just numbers, but the numbers make the game roll and you'll be rolling along with it. Planting lollipops is fun, too, because the output starts at an agonizing 1 per hour, but as you get more and replant what you reap, the rate grows from several lollipops per hour, to several per minute, and eventually per second. A lollipop mechanic also keeps you engaged with the candy economy. Yes, I can make art too.Ĭandy, which is the essence of the game, is steadily generated every second you have the browser window open. The trees are just lines '''', and this is you: \ o /. The first location is the charming Peaceful Forest. The game doesn't really start until you encounter the merchant with hypnotic little "a" eyes, and his nose is a chiseled, stately "L." From him you get your wooden sword, and "Inventory" and "Quest" tabs appear–time to go on an adventure. Wait, a merchant appeared! A lollipop? That's useless! Hold on, the merchant will trade for a sword!" Thus the adventure begins. That's it! Oh wait, I can throw it on the ground now– groundbreaking, ha. You might start out the game thinking something like this: "This is no game–I just keep getting candy, and all I can do is eat it. There is lots of candy, though, and even lollipops. It's not an MMO and there are zero polygons in it. It's a free browser-based RPG, complete with quests, potions, monsters, and equipment. You may be Googling more for answers than trying on your own.Ĭandy Box is a new online game that has become a minor Internet phenomenon.A lot of the time, it's just a waiting game.
