You know how it is, put your favorites and why.

But it's too fucking short

Ib was my favorite one. Story, music, gameplay, all 10/10.would fuck that blue doll
HAIL TO THE KING, BABY
Current favorite game. When you first get into it, it seems fucking impossible. The way they paced the difficulty of the worlds (easy > DIFFICULTY SPIKE WHAT THE FUCK > easy > WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OKAY) is fantastic. Several music tracks for each area makes replaying them less of a headache, on top of the fact that they're procedurally generated. The platforming is so fucking tight, and you've gotta learn a lot of neat little tricks to navigate certain areas, and interact with every different enemy/trap. Several years of playing and I only found out last year that you can duck right next to the boulder trap to completely avoid getting hit by it.
It's as close to perfect as a game of its kind can get.
Ultimate Chicken Horse and Speedrunners are my current favorites. Thank god they have online. Most indie multiplayer games don't offer online multiplayer at all.

>WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OKAY
I've been playing this masterpiece for a week straight and I'm at the part where I need to bring the key from The Mines all the way to the end of the Ice Cave in order to unlock the final shortcut tunnel.
How the fuck am I supposed to do that?
Probably a tie between Ib and Yume Nikki, Ib because i love the characters, story and music, and Yume Nikki because i am sucker for interpretative stories

YOU NEED TO FUCKING BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
YOU CAN DO IT ANON
Even more difficult is bringing theeggplantto theeven more final final boss. I wouldn't be surprised if less than 10 people have ever fucking done it, that thing smashes into pieces from the smallest fall.

I love Yume Nikki because it's one of those rare examples of something that can be interpreted in any way and actually have evidence to back each theory up.

My fucking niggas.
I haven't even bothered trying to get the eggplant into hell, i'm trying to get there at all first. I always get killed once i get to the ruins with the fucking Anubis' and the sliding blocks that kill you if so much as a sliver is between them and another block. Despite how frustrating it is I feel like i want to keep trying, though, which is something i haven't felt from a lot of games.
Anyone else waiting for the re-release of this? I thought it was pretty interesting already, so I'm actually looking forward to it.
You already posted my favorite OP, didn't think I'd like it as much as I did, but it became my favorite game ever made really quickly.

My top 5 indies, no particular order:
Lethal League
Transistor
Battleblock Theater
Shovel KnightMinecraft
I know I'm going to get shit for that last one, but it's the only indie game I've sunk a truly massive amount of time into and although I haven't really played it much over the last few years, I'll always have a sweet spot for it in my heart.
Also, shout out to Cloudbuilt for being pretty much the most overlooked and under appreciated indie game in recent memory.
It's a shame none of my friends enjoy building in this game, with some patience and imagination you can put together some really cool stuff
