Not sure if there is already a thread like this but I thought I'd post anyway.
What indie games have you played/are playing at the moment? There are lot of great indie games out there (some of which are better than big branded games) and I was wondering what indie games you guys have played.
I've played Braid and Super Meat Boy and those games are both amazing. I've recently started playing an indie game called Farmyard Madness which is quite fun. I find it amazing how professional these indie games are when its like only 1 or 2 people that have worked on them!
If there is already an indie game discussion thread then please feel free to merge this post with it.

No! THE IMPOSSIBLE GAME!! It's like this square and he jumps and tries to avoid spikes. It gets sooo addictive. I played it on my xbox for 3 hours straight

As an indie dev, I'm not too sure how I feel about this thread lol
I prefer to associate Indie Games with truly independent ventures, mostly done by not-too-seasoned developers... so I wouldn't count some of those as indie games :P
On the note about number of people that worked on it, while yes some are only a handful, there's almost always at least one artist, and of course there ought to be playtesting (hint: if you are the developer, you are both the best AND worst playtester you can have)

I guess if I go with the thread's definition so far, I own Binding of Isaac, Botanicula, Amnesia and the full Penumbra series, Terraria, and Towns (probably a little more indie than most of these, but depends on your definition for the rest). Then Haven and Hearth is the only one I really actively played (though I completed Amnesia) but I don't think anyone has even heard of it. Free to play game developed by two guys in their basement under a faux company name, running on a rather erratic server in Sweden, as indie as it gets I guess.

Sylevocin what about minecraft? isn't that a great indie game? People are too judgemental about graphics quality these days though.

No thats an awful indie game. Buggy and insecure as hell.

Well, yeah, I guess. But they've made millions so I tend to shy away from listing it.
