### 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

If the player continuously throws candies, it will animate a story.

* At 100 candies, a crying character appears.
* At 310 candies, they will ask the player why they're throwing their candy.
* At 370 candies, they stop crying and threaten to destroy something. Continuing to throw candies until reaching 580 has the character destroy the "..?" at the end of the "You threw x candies on the ground" message.
* At 620 candies, they yell at the player to stop.
* At 650 candies, they begin crying again. Continuing to throw candies, the character says "well. I guess I'll just leave, then". However, at 890 candies, they hit a wall.
* At 990 candies, they begin digging under them.
* At 1,080 candies, they find a cave with a chest. Continuing to throw candies until reaching 1,630 will grant the player a chocolate bar. This was given to them as long as they promise not to throw any more candy.

Throwing more candies after this will not grant the player any more rewards, but it will continue the story.

* At 1,650 candies, the character begins to cry once more, as the player broke their promise to not throw any more candy.
* At 1,700 candies, the character starts digging under them again. Resulting in them falling into a cave (1,770 candies) and releasing it's full of giant candies (1,890 candies).
* At 2,230 candies and beyond, the character will infinitely eat the giant candies. This marks 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.
