"Lately, Candy Crush Saga-makers King.com have been busy blocking trademark applications and going after people with the words &quot;Candy&quot; and even &quot;Saga&quot; in their game names. While they&#39;re doing that—technically, they say, simply to protect their brand from copycats—the game-making denizens of the Internet have been having a little fun at King&#39;s expense by launching The CandyJam, a game jam aimed at making as many games with words like &quot;Candy&quot; and &quot;Saga&quot; in their titles as possible.\n\nThe CandyJam is open to anyone, and judging by the #candyjam hashtag on Twitter, a bunch of games are already underway. I haven&#39;t been able to find a centralized database of playable games (though I&#39;m sure there&#39;ll be one as time goes on), so for now, an image search of the hashtag gives a pretty good idea of what kinds of things are cooking.\n\nMost of the images below aren&#39;t games yet, and some may never be, but all offer an enjoyable glimpse into digital worlds filled with candy, kings and sagas. I&#39;ve also put some links to playable games at the bottom of the post.\n\nPretty solid-looking unnamed shooter/platformer from Pat Guarino. \n\n&quot;Gumboy and the Saga of Candyland&quot; assets by Gerrit Halfmann. \n\nMore candies and chocolate art by Gerrit Halfmann. \n\n&quot;Candy Tiem&quot; by Folmer Kelly. \n\n Gumdrop art by RogueNoodle.\n\nFruit protagonist art by Michelle Juett Silva. \n\n&quot;Candy Carp HD&quot; by sokurah, download it here. \n\nExcellent bedroom by Barnaque. \n\n&quot;Candy Intelligence Agency&quot; concept by Leke Dobruna. \n\nInsuline and candy art by Peter Hann. \n\nCandyJam comic by pilli-adventure.com. \n\nCandy King concept by thia9uera/Ed Lago. \n\nAssets for anyone to use, made by Uber Entertainment&#39;s Chandana Ekanayake.\n\n&quot;Candies, Please&quot; concept by Zies. (Ha!)\n\nAnd my personal favorite…\n\n…a real-life game from Shandiin Woodward called &quot;Candy Cat Rush.&quot; The rules: &quot;Stack all your candy on the cat before it wakes up.&quot; I might play this one later.\n\nThere&#39;s a lot more coming in on the #CandyJamhashtag. While most of those games aren&#39;t playable (save Candy Carp HD, linked above) there are a few that are. Among them: Candy Game tycoon, which casts you as a worker at &quot;Queen.com&quot; making copies of other people&#39;s games and Candy Clicker Saga, which has you click a swirling piece of candy and keeps a global tally on how many clicks the candy has gotten. There&#39;s also Candy Break King, which is a brick and ball game based on (you guessed it!) candy, and CandyCandyCandy, which we linked to in the initial post.\n\nMmmm… candy.\n\n"
