The Candy Jam is official over, but is still accepting submissions til the end of the week. For those that don't know, the Candy Jam was a sort of protest that spawned out of King.com's trademark over the words "Candy" and "Saga" then use such trademarks to send legal warnings to developers whose games contain such words regardless of whether those games had any similarities to their game Candy Crush Saga. Well game devs, being a creative bunch, decided to protest this by creating a bunch of parody games involving those words. Over 300 games were created and submitted. Having participated in the game jam with a game of my own I decided to check out what others had made and here are some of my favorite (Ie that ones that I played):

Candy Nom Saga - Lets start weird. This game is weird and dumb. You guess which flavor candy the face likes. BUT THE MUSIC. I really hope Vinny could find that music since it was apparently found on Freesound.org.

Candy Match Forever - Match 3 is a great and popular genre... sometimes it's a bit too easy though. Some games in the genre are even known for their great stories.

Candy Chasm Saga - This is an actual game with challenge and is actually rather fun. It was made by the guy behind the upcoming Loot/random dungeon/Metroidvania game, Chasm.

Candy's Crushes Saga - This is a cute little puzzle game about a gal's romantic relationships. I didn't get to the end but it was fairly well designed and rather tricky.

The Candy Apple Crusher Saga - It's a shoot'em'up. The controls are a bit awkward, but that art is pretty damn nice!

Candy Escape Goat Saga - This was made by the guy who made Escape Goat and uses the engine that Escape Goat 2 will use. There are 6 puzzles that combine the mechanics of Escape Goat with match 3 mechanics and it's some of the best puzzles I've played. It does require you to install it however.

Too Much Candy - A fairly simple avoidance game. It was pretty cool.

There's a bunch of other nifty ones on there I'm sure, but I have yet to go through all of them. Sooo much candy. You can find more games on the official site.
