Electronic Super Joy (All platforms)
Kind of like VVVVVV on acid. A tricky platformer with crazy visuals and over the top porn sound effects.

I haven't played it yet, but I noticed a game called Boho Youyoumo, which looks like a bullet hell platformer. Don't know if it's any good, but kind of interesting.

I looked through the iTunes store and downloaded a free game

Dumb ways to die



Its a Warioware style rip off, with not as many levels etc but its fun.

Whats makes me like it though is the art style and its title song! :D

Worth 10mins of anyones time for free.

I'm shocked that such a well informed chap could be so wrong! :-o
I would say half of the games I play on the 360 are indie titles and Super Hexagon on iOS is all kinds of :awe:

[EDIT] One of the big selling points of the PS4 for me is the indie support[/EDIT]

We just released Wyv and Keep. Since I was one of the developers on it, it's one of my favorites by default :)

http://wyvandkeep.com"




It's a two player, co-op puzzler that gets balls hard and has some platforming/action elements to it as well.

It is a two player "push the boxes onto switches" puzzle game. If you play by yourself, then you need to control both characters. Which is still fun, but this game really shines with two people. Our level designer did an awesome job of making engaging puzzles. I play the game with my wife and collaborating on the puzzles is tons of fun.

It gets insanely hard, we are honestly not expecting many people to ever see the boss :) Which is a shame, because they did a killer job on him. My job was just to port the game to Mac and Linux, so I had really no input on the game itself.

Here is the demo for the game: http://www.moddb.com/games/wyv-and-keep ... ed-preview"

The demo is Windows only and pretty old, but gives you a good idea of what the game is like.
