Trying out something new. Doing discussion topics about indie games once in a while. Let's see if there is interest.

Like the title says, have you played recently an indie game that you enjoyed and want to share? It does not have to be a newly released game.

I recently played and enjoyed Carrion, a Metroidvania-style horror game where you play a monster trying to escape an underground lab. For me, it felt like it had a good creepy atmosphere, created by fitting pixel art and the fact there is no dialogue. The game is short and not too difficult, with fun mechanics.

dragonsweeper!

it's a browser-based pick-up-and-play minesweeper-like where you kill monsters in a dungeon, with the end goal being to beat the dragon in the middle of the board.
you advance by killing monsters hidden on the board, which do damage and give xp equal to their health. so you can only attack monsters at or below your current health. leveling up increases your health. open tiles show not how many monsters are hidden nearby, but their total health.

a good run takes around 7 minutes. getting a good run can take like 30.
