[General Discussion] Amateur games

Games that aren't really made by studios, like Cave Story and so on. Got any good recommendations?

Aside from Cave Story, I've played Zeux's World (Mario-alike, fun but the controls take getting used to), Knytt and Within a Deep Forest. The former is great if you just want to dick around for an hour and not worry about dying, but the latter is frustratingly difficult. Not at first, but the curve ratchets up pretty steep about halfway through the game. Also, it doesn't let you pause. F that.

Oh right, I've also played DROD, which was fun enough that I paid for the full version, but I'm not fond of most of the fan-made levels. It's a puzzle game, and if you're hot for next to impossible puzzles then you will love the fan-made levels.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh god, elixir. Is that game one of those perfect cherry blossom shooters where basically you're insane?

Reznor: Platformers scratch my itch.

How ya doing, buddy?

awesome, guys, I'm definitely checking some of these out over the weekend. =D

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Man, fuck Eternal Daughter.

It'd be thoroughly fun and enjoyable if they didn't punish you so badly if you missed a well-hidden powerup.

or if the engine wasn't so buggy in the computer's favor.

Or if your character had better response times. I AM HAMMERING THE ATTACK BUTTON WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?!

Seriously halfway through the game and I get killed in four hits. You could've gotten away with this BS if I were eight but I'm not that stupid anymore.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
