I prefer Three Musketeers classic.
 
And most of the time, Twix owns all, mainly the peanut butter flavor

 Really want this. I hope Double Fine keeps doing these downloadable, it seems like a good fit for them.

Candy Corn? Is that just an American thing? I've never seen them up here in Canada.
Also: Ryan is not lying. 3 Musketeers is a crime against humanity. Fact!

Looks great, can't wait to play it!

I was totally not looking into this game but after this quick look it looks pretty amazing. I will be following this for sure

Candy Corn is a scourge on the honorable tradition of shitty American candies.

This game looks totally boss! Can't imagine anyone disliking candy-corn/mellocreme pumpkins, though. 
 
Candy opinions are controversial, aren't they? Root beer barrels can go eat a million dicks!

3 Musketeers ain't that bad. Caramello is friggin delicious. How could it not be? Brought to tou by the same people who make Cadbury Cream Eggs. 
 
 
MMMMMMmmmmMMMM Cadbury Cream Eggs.

This game was not at all on my radar. Now I am looking forward to it. Super charming.

Great looking game but why the 31st? Nobody cares about Halloween after Halloween. That just means get ready for the holidays, not think about Halloween. Confusing. Is that even a confirmed date? I did find 2 sources saying so...

You know what this game reminds me of, especially in the battle screens?  
 
Penny Arcade Adventures. 
 
Please let this game come to PC.

This game is charming as all hell and looks really, really fun. Thanks for the QL GB, would have never known about this if it weren't for you.

The last two years have been the years of the awesomest downloadable games ever. I'm gonna love this game.

Posted by WhiteBrightKnight

This seems to have some RPG mechanics similar to paper mario, and I LOVE paper mario.

This game looks enjoyable. I give an approving nod.
Posted by DrunkenBobDole

This game looks great and it totally does come out on (very near) Halloween!

I'm very excited about this. I love me some Casual RPG's.

I thought of the PA game as well. 
This game is freakin' ADORABLE! Can't wait for it.

This reminds me of Earthbound.  That's a good thing.

Went from a WTF to probable purchase with in 1:00 of watching this video.
 
I'm getting a bit of a Castle Crashers feel from the video, even if it's not from the same guys.

Candy Corn is worst thing ever. Ever.

Posted by NowSayPillow

I want this game!

Posted by HandsomeDead

Non sequitorial humour and bland looking combat. Yep, that's a Double Fine game.

Posted by big_jon

If this hits around Halloween and the price is right, I am in.
Posted by Plasticpals

I love how everyone is always so down about JRPGs, yet they cream their pants at this game.  Yes, it is awesome, but it's basically a rip-off of Earthbound and Mario RPG (with the reflex-based battles and sense of humor).  It looks awesome, don't get me wrong, but if you hate JRPGs you're an ass.

Posted by Mrnitropb

Fuck y'all, candy corn is awesome.

Posted by datarez

Awesome.  I'm ducking out of this one a few minutes in though since I'll already buy it.

Edited by Krataur

Ryan doesn't like 3 Musketeers?  What the hell is wrong with him?
 
He's right about candy corn, though.  It's worse than getting fruit on Halloween.

This game looks great
