A candy count, ticking up by itself, and a button waiting beneath it.
- Opens with. A candy count
- First button. Eat all the candies
- Footer. FAQ, wiki, source code
Stepping inside
The page opens on a line of monospace text, You have 0 candies, and the number starts to rise on its own. A button reading Eat all the candies shows up underneath.
Why the night runs long
A counter that gives away so little is easy to leave running in a background tab. Whatever the game turns into after the first candies, the opening screen asks for nothing more than a click now and then.
Breaking camp
Saving isn’t spelled out on the first screen. The FAQ link in the footer is the place to look before closing the tab for a long break.
Scribbled in the margin
A footer line shows version 1.2.3 and links to a FAQ, IRC, a blog, a wiki, the source code and the original Candy Box. That is a lot of reading material for a game that begins with one number.
For the right kind of walker
Readers who like finding out what a button does, and who don’t mind a wiki for the parts that stay unclear.
