New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.

I featured the demo for Angeline Era in a video about 1.5 years ago (it had the 1 fish, 2 fish... 32 fish boss), but the full game just released and I'm really enjoying it so far. Rare that I play a game as delightfully playful and tightly designed as this.

A random youtube video just reminded me of a pair of genuinely great freeware gems - Vacant Ark and Iwanaga, a pair of very Treasure-inspired experimental freeware shmups from a developer known only as Buster who just kinda disappeared from the scene.
