    I don't think it's very similar to either of those games, but I've heard good things about it.

    It's a fun little game even if the simple RPG combat gets a bit repetitive, better played in short bursts in my opinion.

    I thought it was quite a bit of fun. It is definitely worth 600 points. It gets a little repetitive, but I think the charm of the setting more than makes up for that.

    It's a very different style of game then those two games but I would definitely say it is work 600 points.  It's easy, straightforward, but a lot of fun.

    It captures the feeling of being a kid on Halloween really well.  If you hve a child or significant other to play with, this is a good game for that.  It's also pretty easy, but still worth $7.50.  It used to be an easy S-Rank, but the now you have to grab the(also easy) DLC to get that.

    I felt it got a little boring towards the end, but at that price I'd definitely pull the trigger. Heck, I was fine paying full price.

    I played through it today, and I found it much better than I thought it would be. The 600 pts is definitely an acceptable price. 
    Right now I'm on the fence whether to get the Grubbins on Ice DLC. Compared to the 600 pts sale price for the full game 400 seems a bit to much. Hell might just do it just to S-rank the game.

    @rosebud04: Depends. Do you like charm and plot better than gameplay? Cause this, as Alex Navarro described it perfectly, is pretty much "My First RPG," but the writing is absolutely top-notch. That is, as long as there's room in your heart for whimsy and wonder.

    Dude what? Totally getting it now. Wasn't feeling the full price around Halloween. Besides there were other, meatier games themed for the season available at the time.

    It does and it doesn't.
     
    It should get stale, but I found "all the little things" combined with a relatively short length kept the whole thing together til the end.
     
    Mileage may vary.

    It's very low on substance, and very high in charm. If you like to laugh and be charmed then this game is definitely worth the discounted $7.50

    I don't regret getting it at full price (and the DLC), it's an immensely charming game.

    It's an okay game but it definitely needed to either have a more varied combat or move at a quicker pace, and what is with no maps?
