candy box 2
It starts with 0 candies, but where does this ascii adventure end? Candy box 2 by Aniwey.
I wasn't sure how to "get started" on this game at first either, but once you have enough candies to do more than eat them or throw them on the ground, you can start to unlock game features and it eventually turns into an adventure game.
Found a box, tried talking to it so it opens, tells me ''you know you're talking to a box?'' Then i go to a tree and i can speak to a frickin' SQUIRREL...Yeah love the game so far so good
thnx @Anonymous 18:35... got that one... don't know about the "how many candies does the candiest person in the world possess" question... Some of these questions make no sense...
Is it bad that I went to the save section, saved it to a local file like it allows, edited the file to give me tons of candy and lollipops and then reloaded it just fine? Haven't messed with the save file other than that to see what can be done, but seems possible. It's tough sitting around waiting for candies and lollipops to grow in order to move forward.
I once found you, once sacrificed my social life for you. Everything I needed in a simple online game I found with you. But alas, I conquered you, and we became one. And I became bored.
Until I met her. Cookie Clicker. I cannot stop clicking her luscious chips, cannot stop caressing her chocolately lumps with my mouse. I am in love, and have fallen out of love.
Lo, I see you have returned, with enhancements. But I am afraid I have forgotten you. Do not take this as a betrayal, but as a love lost.
There are many others out there who are worthy of your Candy. But I...I belong with Cookie.
I will cherish the times we shared, but they are not but a memory now, fading alongside the dimming shades of an evening sun.
What do you do with the lollipops? and I defeated the first quest and now cant find anything to click on. What the hell do I do now? and don't say buy stuff cuz I already bought all of it.
Also, what do I do with the map. I feel like that is what will lead me out of this place of locked houses and empty shops...but I can't get it to do anything!!!!
I used math to guess the # of marks and then I saw I could have just counted them. (hint :letters are not in the normal order.) Right now I am waiting to power up to make more potions & max out my farm. Stuck at sea serpent,RPG dragon,&forest
Mich, you need to defeat the octopus king first. Then wear the unenchanted version while fighting yourself and you'll win with 1 HP in the end due to self confidence.

Find the * on the map near the cave. It is the pogo-stick. Don't forget to fight mobs what drop equip again after you enchant said equip & also you need to constantly equip stuff.
At last, I have unlimited power !!! I earned every item & killed all mobs. Now I can hack the computer & shower myself in candy till the trick or treat monsters come for it.
Oops I guess I never killed the dragon , sea serpent , cyclops ,or witch. Hint: that's a big cauldron so spam fill bottles & you only have to make one potion to get a hundred.
Is there a way to steer the player during fights or is the player supposed to end up sitting in the corner waiting the teleport to be casted? Quite annoying and I'm stuck.
all of the quests become a whole lot easier once you get the rocket boots! (SPOILER_ALERT) They're in the third room in the desert fortress. I got to it by making steps out of four obsidian walls. :)
Super RPG gives a small candy prize the first time you finish a floor, so you need to get farther every time. The reward of "Hard Mode" is rumored to be up around lv. 20. Level 24 and up is randomly generated but lv. 23 is said to be impossible. Hard mode = no hp. boost for eating candy.
Galactic Wars costs 1000 and you win the score back in candies. Use the squeeze skill to get smaller , it is earned (like the 3 colored fins) by killing sponge & stuff in the sea.
The way I did it was to (SPOILER_ALERT) make an obsidian wall, then to attack the obsidian wall until it is 4 blocks below the ledge. Then use teleport to go back to the beginning, and one block before the first obsidian wall place another obsidian wall. This time though, every time you break a block teleport back to the beginning, because if you are under the second wall you will also attack blocks from the first wall and you might make it too short for you to be able to reach the ledge. It is okay if you break five blocks instead of four, but try not to because it's good to leave yourself room for error and your person can't jump up 6 blocks. Keep repeating this process until the second wall is 4 blocks lower than the first. Now teleport back and make a third wall right in front of the second. Keep doing the same thing over and over again until you have a wall low enough to jump unto from the ground. Then use the obsidian walls, each 4 blocks below the one before it, as stairs to reach the end. Please leave another comment saying so if anything was not made clear.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! My computer just turned off, I brought up candy box 2 again, and I had lost everything!!! I had it set to save every 10 minutes, so I don't know what happened! Somebody help!
why cant i find the magical sponge, i have goon threw the sea like 30 times but i still havent found it, is there something else i need to unlock befor it will show up?
Gone to every place, bought everything, missing the purple shark fin, Y stone and talking candy. Can't beat the developer. Gone really far in the sea but died. So, how do you beat the developer? Gonna try later for the purple shark fin.
Lovely game
ReplyDeletewhat the hell are you supposed to do anyway?!
ReplyDeleteYeah not seeing the point of this "game"
ReplyDeletehow many marks can you find on its trunk?
ReplyDeletevery lovely game, more of this!
ReplyDeleteWhen you have 1,337 candies, it says you have leet candies.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure how to "get started" on this game at first either, but once you have enough candies to do more than eat them or throw them on the ground, you can start to unlock game features and it eventually turns into an adventure game.
ReplyDeleteAt 42 candies, it makes a face ...\o/...or maybe that's a cheer.
ReplyDeleteFound a box, tried talking to it so it opens, tells me ''you know you're talking to a box?''
ReplyDeleteThen i go to a tree and i can speak to a frickin' SQUIRREL...Yeah love the game so far so good
So I can't win tic tac toe against a squirrel...
ReplyDeleteTo win the Tic tac toe try to find a X out the square....
ReplyDeletelost on the squirrel letters....
ReplyDeleteyup... lost on the squirrel's letter sequence as well... any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteplz?
Really don't know, tried all of them :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about the yellow hat???
thnx @Anonymous 18:35... got that one... don't know about the "how many candies does the candiest person in the world possess" question... Some of these questions make no sense...
ReplyDeletecandiest is how many YOU have
ReplyDeleteI get it now!!! The yellow hat FLOATS!!!
ReplyDeleteUgg, I didn't allow the game to save locally, closed the tab and lost almost a million lollipops.
ReplyDeleteI find it extremely embarrassing that I can't beat the squirrel at tic tac toe... :(
ReplyDeleteAhahah...think outside the box
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH!!! TAKE THAT, YOU TALKING SQUIRREL!!! (yay! i beat the squirrel!)
ReplyDeletenow i don't like the rpg gaming house... *sigh* can't beat that one either... :(

ReplyDeleteI currently have 270 candies. I can't make any more requests. How long until something interesting happens?
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I found you can click on the houses.
ReplyDeleteA Short Love Letter To Candy Box
ReplyDeleteI once found you, once sacrificed my social life for you. Everything I needed in a simple online game I found with you. But alas, I conquered you, and we became one. And I became bored.

Forgive me.
ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIWEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIts a fun game, but it gets a bit boring after you get 1500 lollipops per second and 987 candies per second.
ReplyDeleteCandy Box 2 is even more addicting than the first one! ;(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's fun!
What do you do with the lollipops? and I defeated the first quest and now cant find anything to click on. What the hell do I do now? and don't say buy stuff cuz I already bought all of it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what do I do with the map. I feel like that is what will lead me out of this place of locked houses and empty shops...but I can't get it to do anything!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of cookieclicker...
ReplyDeleteHow can i get into the castle and how can i defeat the sea snake? Need help, please!
ReplyDeleteIt should remind you of Cookie Clicker, especially since the author of that one cited the first Candy Box as a big influence.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see people still make games like these. I remember going by bus to another school that had a "P.E.T." computer with text like graphics.
ReplyDeleteOnce I found this game, I went online and played the first one, which is also super-fun. Thanks for posting the game!
ReplyDeleteI used math to guess the # of marks and then I saw I could have just counted them. (hint :letters are not in the normal order.) Right now I am waiting to power up to make more potions & max out my farm. Stuck at sea serpent,RPG dragon,&forest
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the squirrel?
ReplyDeletehow many marks can you find on its trunk?
ReplyDeletePlease help me
Please help with the squirrel letters. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe letter sequence is Candies spelled backwards :)
ReplyDeleteFor the how many candies question just enter how many candies you have.
ReplyDeleteHelp with the squirrel's questions...
ReplyDeleteFor the marks on the tree, he means his own tree. Count the marks on only the trunk.
For the letter sequence, you need to look at the name of the game.
Wow this game is very long. There is a wiki for both games & maxing out your farm will help you avoid too much waiting. hint : search map for "*".
ReplyDeleteHow do you submit your answer to the squirrel?
ReplyDeleteI figured out the "X" potion. But has anybody defeated "yourself" yet? I am stuck there.
ReplyDeleteeating candies powers up your health
ReplyDeleteMich, you need to defeat the octopus king first. Then wear the unenchanted version while fighting yourself and you'll win with 1 HP in the end due to self confidence.

ReplyDeletestill cant figure out how to jump...
ReplyDeleteFind the * on the map near the cave. It is the pogo-stick. Don't forget to fight mobs what drop equip again after you enchant said equip & also you need to constantly equip stuff.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who hated this game?
ReplyDeleteAt last, I have unlimited power !!!
ReplyDeleteI earned every item & killed all mobs. Now I can hack the computer & shower myself in candy till the trick or treat monsters come for it.
Oops I guess I never killed the dragon , sea serpent , cyclops ,or witch. Hint: that's a big cauldron so spam fill bottles & you only have to make one potion to get a hundred.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to steer the player during fights or is the player supposed to end up sitting in the corner waiting the teleport to be casted? Quite annoying and I'm stuck.
ReplyDeleteOk, problem solved, I figured out how to win battles even though the player has no steering wheel. X)
ReplyDeleteDo you get anything for beating "Super RPG" or "Galactic Wars" in the third house?
ReplyDeleteall of the quests become a whole lot easier once you get the rocket boots!
ReplyDelete(SPOILER_ALERT)
They're in the third room in the desert fortress. I got to it by making steps out of four obsidian walls. :)

ReplyDeleteYou can use squeeze? Cool! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe X potion isn't very hard to figure out. I got it first try.
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck in the third room of the desert fortress: I tried using obsidian walls and jumping but I can't reach the box! :( some help?
ReplyDeleteThe way I did it was to (SPOILER_ALERT)

ReplyDeleteOops, never mind! Once you get enough candies you can access a link to load saved data!
ReplyDeleteGreat Game!
ReplyDeleteBut where do I find "squeeze" magical sponge?
Plz Hlp.
Ah, finally got it.
ReplyDeletewhy cant i find the magical sponge, i have goon threw the sea like 30 times but i still havent found it, is there something else i need to unlock befor it will show up?
ReplyDeleteI love this game! But there's this weird bug where it's saying my magic purple balls are fireballs.
ReplyDeleteThe people are very lucky to have this blog because it has better knowledge.

HOW DO I BEAT THE DEVELOPER?!
ReplyDeleteGone to every place, bought everything, missing the purple shark fin, Y stone and talking candy. Can't beat the developer. Gone really far in the sea but died. So, how do you beat the developer? Gonna try later for the purple shark fin.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know you get the Y stone after beating the developer, and the talking candy by putting all 4 stones at the top of the tower. It spells PLAY.
ReplyDeleteand all that was spoiler
ReplyDeleteActually, I beat him and won!
