Revision as of 06:25, 13 May 2019

Status Bar

Original Status Bar

After clicking on one of the corners

Candy Count

When candy count reaches 42, The Player appears beside the number for a brief period of time. This is a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. When you get 1337 candies, the counter says "You have leet candies" in place of the count of candies. When you have 314159 candies, candies has an exclamation mark at the end. This is because 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, and 9 are the first six digits of pi. Also, due to how Javascript works, if you cheat in or manage to get an incomprehensible amount of candies, the game will say "You have Infinity candies."

Throwing Candies

In your candy box, if you keep throwing candies, a character will animate a story (a new frame every time you click "throw candies", complete with dialogue), he will

Try to escape
Dig a hole
Find a chocolate bar

This takes a total of 1630 candies or 163 clicks.

Going beyond 1630 candies, he continues to dig a hole and find a bunch of candies and continues to eat them. This is the end of the animation.

World

If you click on the space below one of the trees, you can dig and find 3 chocolate bars.

In the sorceress's hut on the first row there are two books the left of the magic cakes, You will see three book in the order of M L P. that is the abbreviation for My Little Pony. Another pair of books are H2 and G2, another "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" reference. There is also a book that has GOAT spelled backwards on it, it could be a reference to the acronym GOAT, which means "Greatest of All Time". Still in the hut, there is a book with "TSN" written in, abbreviating "The Satanas Number". In the same number is there said number, 666, under the abbreviation. And in the second row before buying the first grimore it says park

In the 4th page of the brewing manual, the first paragraph says

This potion, which was invented by the well-known sorcerer Isaac, allows you to resist to the earth's gravitation force for a few seconds.

This is a reference to Isaac Newton's law of gravity.

In The Castle, the 2nd room labelled 'A Dark Room' is probably referenced to A Dark Room

When Defeating Hell, The Bat God is called Camaztoz, Which is probably a reference to the "Dark World" Camaztoz In the book A Wrinkle In Time.

Items

The info box for the Unicorn Horn says This magical unicorn horn used to belong to Charlie which is in reference to this video

The Unicorn Horn's healing properties might be a reference to the Nethack rogue-like rpg, in which they could cure all sorts of ailments.
