Edited for truth. Unleash the captchas!

Hey! That's my thing!

Suddenly my picture seems a lot more accurate...

I love Zuma Deluxe and Mario Forever.

Finished Aquaria last night... what a spectacular game! Hungry for more, and I'll try the sacrifice mod next!

I kept thinking of another free indie game as I played: Cave Story. Like Aquaria or Metroid it is "one huge level", and features outstanding art and music direction (though in a very different style). Cave Story was made by one dedicated/brilliant artist, so there's another similarity with Aquaria. Check it out here: http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/

How about you? Do any other great but unknown games come to mind when you play Aquaria?

I think this would go better into our Games forum. ^^;

Great but unknown? Nothing immediately springs to mind, but if you haven't yet played Castlevania: Lament of Innocence you should go do that. It's kind of an outstanding entry in the genre, such that almost every Castlevania game since has been a straight-up clone of it.

There's already a forum about presenting these kind of (awesome) games, it'd be nice if this were locked.

[Lady-Succubus]

Or at least moved. :3

[Inyssius]

And merged, no less! Noice.

[Alphasoldier]

Not necessary, Cave Story has been mentioned in it many times.

[Inyssius]

Cave Story is so awesome that it should be on every page of this topic.

indeed although id doesn't have too many modding capabilities...

[Alphasoldier]

Hahah, too true Frosty.

A sidescroller that I thought was fun was Knytt Stories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpnGL3ggGFk

I thought the dark forest one was fun too. :3
