Candy Jam!

You very probably have heard of Candy Crush Saga but have you heard of the Candy Jam? Candy Jam is indie devs' answer to King trying to trademark the words 'candy' and 'saga' and actively going after gaming companies which use either word in their games (e.g. The Banner Saga, which has nothing to do with candies or match-three games but all to do with Vikings).

Here are two of my favorite Candy Jam games:
Candy Escape Goat Saga, after the existing Escape Goat, where you need to free the candy instead of crushing it. Oh sweet beautiful Ann Perkins irony!
Candy's Crushes Saga which wins the Oscar for best pun (in addition to being interesting and original).
