Costume Quest was a departure for Double Fine. Gone are the days of struggling to compete with the big guys by spending years to craft a full, boxed-game experience that was charming and witty, only to have a gameplay mechanic cause people to give it up a few hours in. They've taken a new direction, concentrating all of their efforts on downloadable games that take a quarter of the time to put out and can still maintain their level of charm; and Grubbins on Ice proves they've quickly adapted to this new model and have a bright future ahead.
