So I was playing Undetale and
. I really want to know where the plot is going.
I accidently killed Toriel, so I closed the game and reloaded my save though during the battle the text that showed when I tried to spare her changed to "you want to say you saw her die but it's creepy". I didn't get it initially but after winning finding the flower, he knew I killed her and reloaded the game.

Assault Android Cactus went a long way from when I played the demo back in the day.
Its good and easily one of the most adorable programming games. The challenges in each level are actually... challenging, but I cant say much about the later levels yet. The interface is very nice to use, but the overview is a bit messy for longer programs.

Prey For The Gods - PC, Mac
http://preyforthegods.com/
In Prey for the Gods, you play a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.
Shit, was hoping I would be faster.
I've just completed all the puzzles, and I love it through and through! As you say, the interface gets really messy on larger programs, but I feel that's part of the challenge. Also, it's purely mouse controlled, so you write labels and comments with the mouse: clearly optimized/intended for a touch screen. But it kind of adds to the charm as well, as my butt ugly handwriting really comes into it's own here.
It's very challenging, but not impossible. I'm a programmer by day though, so that might be partly cheating. Getting really good at writing spaghetti code now, as there's no if/else, only Go to.
Off to optimize my code now for maximum efficiency!

Spellrazor - Free alpha (PC, Mac)
http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=50678.0
Spellrazor is an arcade game with (believe it or not) 27 unique fire buttons and a single directional stick used to guide the 'Adventurer'. Peculiarly, there is no aiming. Aiming is automatic, meaning that positioning and choice of spells are critical.

After looking at all the games you guys and gal recommended, I bought Environmental Station Alpha, INK and Xeodrifter (last two on sale), and waiting for my pad to arrive and Cryptark, Oni and Grow Home, thank you so much for your recommendations. Found some amazing games. Cant have them all at once but I will buy them all.
Also, I found a game called Feist. Looks amazing but I read that is was frustrating... can anyone say a few nice words about it, also comment length and actual difficulty? Feist looks really sweet.

I'm so excited for you. I would love to approach the indie scene fresh and experience so many classics for the first time.
Braid. Fez.
What a time we've all had.

I am there now, true, getting all those classics. I recently tried the demo for Braid and... I... I... it didn't click with me as much as I thought, while later I played FEZ and... is... one of the best things I played in a long long time. The ability to rotate the levels around is impressive, the platforming around it clicked with me instantly, it has tons of charm, polish, exploration, secrets... its completely awesome. Any more classics that I missed? I played LIMBO on iOS and... most of the indie games on iOS maybe it helps.
And please, anyone can confirm or deny Feist?
It's weird when people ask me to recommend Indie games from the past couple of years - I've played so many, as have the people in this thread, that it's difficult to look back and remember.
Braid is wonderful - but I can understand that maybe it doesn't play as well now? I haven't played it since it came out on PC. But it's great to hear that you love Fez - honestly I think it's a masterpiece.

Braid isn't a tight platformer like Fez or Ink, but its time-based puzzles are still brilliant IMO. And it constantly mixes up its time control mechanic. I'd recommend sticking with Braid, if you haven't finished it
Feist is really good, awesome atmosphere and music. But it's not really a platformer. Its focus is on frantic desperate combat against enemies much more powerful than you. It's really intense, and looks gorgeous

Braid is still great. It looks amazing. The music is good. The puzzles are smart. It's still a good platformer if you're going in blind or have forgotten all the solutions.

Anyone picked up Extreme Exorcism? or The Bug Butcher? Both look awesome, any input would be appreciated on those.
Oh, and Blocks That Matter, also on the wishlist along with Tetrobot & Co (already have it on iOS, double dipping)
If you happen to stumble into one, please tell me
And yes, FEZ is a masterpiece.
So I will add Feist to the wishlist, pretty high up. Love the look of it. Common controller, arrive tomorrow
Third recommendation for Braid. I must play it more then.

It is as bad at it seems?

Remnants of Naezith is a fast-paced 2D platformer which has no speed limitations, you can accelerate as much as you want/can. The abilities the character has are double jump, wall-jump, dash and the best one, swinging! The game’s overrefined grappling hook physics don’t feel like any other “hook game” you’ve played. You will feel the acceleration

I was about to buy Cryptark... and Steam seems to be down... not the client nor Web are responding... maybe a sign? But everything I know and seen about Cryptark just screams buy me. Galak-Z looks superb, added to the wishlist. Dangerous as next week I also get my paycheck. And in totally related news, my new pad is amazing

Fly´n is beautiful and is loaded with different game play mechanics, I believe it has them all except wall jump. Truly having blast. Great music btw.
Okay didnt know that, will check later then... and Steam came back... now that I have to go to work... And my Rayman Legends Steam page shows 20$ instead of 30$? Pretty sure is the same game... maybe because I also bought it for PS4? Not sure. Strange thing... going to buy it before it goes up 10$... after 1pm = Thanks!!

Highly highly recommend getting some Broforce if you have access to local multiplayer buddies. I recently played through about half the campaign with two other mates and it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable local multiplayer experiences I've had in a while. I was cackling like a witch pretty much the entire way though.

Broforce is also on my wishlist as well. Played the demo and I liked it, but blew the path up many times and couldn't reach the other side of the gap I created and was a bit frustrating... didnt try with my pad though....
And I made an Ubisoft Uplay account and the web page is not responding at all, hard to log-in etc... my confidence on Uplay is decreasing quickly right now... Damn, I want Rayman Legends...
