About Happy Candy
The monster sits on a small platform on top of a pole, and wrapped blue and green candies drift around it. Each candy you hit adds to your count and leaves a red splat where it was.

There are no lives. One bad shot that ends in the spikes on the left or right wall finishes the run, so this is a short arcade game about picking the right moment to fire.
The platform moves after every jump. After a shot the monster drops back down from above, and the platform may now sit further left or right, in the middle, lower or higher. That means every jump starts from a new spot and you have to judge the angle again.
The monster flies in a straight line and does not stop on the candy. It keeps going past it, which is where most runs end. In all three of my losses the candy was close to a wall, the monster flew through it and hit the spikes behind.
A single shot can count twice. Once, two candies were sitting right next to each other and one jump through both added 2 at once.
Besides candies you also collect coins, and those unlock more monsters in the shop. The blue monster with horns costs 20 coins, the one-eyed monster 50, the pink one 120 and the green monster with horns 200.
My own runs went 4, 4 and 11 candies. The best one lasted about 40 seconds, so a single attempt is quick and restarting takes no time at all.
Quick summary
- You start with the red monster on a platform while wrapped candies float around it.
- You click a candy and the monster flies straight at it, adding to your count if it hits.
- After each jump the monster lands back on the platform, which has moved to a new spot.
- The run ends the first time the monster flies into the spiked walls.
Key features
- One click launches the monster in a straight line at the candy you picked.
- The platform changes position after every jump, so no two shots start from the same place.
- Spiked walls on both sides end the run after a single mistake.
- Two candies close together can be hit with one jump for 2 points.
- Coins unlock four more monsters, priced from 20 to 200 coins.
Tips & tricks
- Leave a candy that floats close to a wall alone and wait until it drifts away from the spikes.
- Remember the monster keeps flying after it hits a candy, so check what is behind the candy before you click.
- Look for two candies lined up close together and take both with one shot.
- Check where the platform has moved before every shot instead of aiming the way you did last time.
