The style of a minimalist interface that starts sprouting things, somewhat ASCII-game-ish yet also rather dynamic, reminds me a bit of Candy Box: http://candies.aniwey.net/ http://candies.aniwey.net/ . It's an interesting UI and 'reveal' style for a game, and glad to see another one using it. Feels somewhat refreshing. edit: Ah ok, if you view-source it mentions Candy Box as an inspiration.

To anyone else trying Candy Box, a few hints to get started: - Wait until you have 60 candies (new options appear) - Click the cowboy hat 4 times - Buy the wooden sword

  You can also click on the lollipop to lower the prices.

  If you want to cheat, open the devtools, and type candies.nbrOwned = Infinity.

  how does it even relate to Frog Fraction ?
  - siddboots 13y ago
    Frog Fraction does not relate to things. It is just worth mentioning from time to time.

      That's your opinion.

  I don't get it. I liked A Dark Room and Candy Box, but hated Frog Fractions, which is completely unrelated.
  - shardling 13y ago
    They're related in the sense that the type of gameplay changes and unfolds as you progress. Frog Fractions is much more linear, I suppose. You move from one game type to the next, instead of having multiple in parallel.

Isn't this a lot closer to dwarf fortress?
