Not including BeamNG (which we all love) what are your favorite Indie games from the last year or so? Indie games, especially those not on Steam, can be hard to find. I hope we can get a good list of games here so that everyone can enjoy them, and find new things to experience. In your post try to include a link to the game or a description and your thoughts. Here are a few of my recent favorites to start things off: The Stanley Parable- Just finished it and loved it to death, this game is hilarious. http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910/ Gone Home- Amazingly detailed environment and graphics, absorbing and deep story. Played the whole thing in one sitting. http://store.steampowered.com/app/232430/ Crashtastic- Ton's of fun to make your own vehicle and try to get through the levels. Reminds me allot of BeamNG http://www.crashtastic.com/ Nitronic Rush- A bit of an older game but I just found it recently. Crazy fast arcade racer and its totally free! http://nitronic-rush.com/ Antichamber- Great puzzle game with a really unique art style and level design. http://store.steampowered.com/app/219890 If you really love indie games you should check out this Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/user/RockLeeSmile?feature=watch. He puts up a video everyday covering a new indie game, he already has about 500 to watch!
Papers, Please and Surgeon Simulator jump to mind. Also Kerbal Space Program. (development started in 2011 but the first purchaseable release was in 2012 iirc)
This should be a fun list, these are all really good games. You have no excuse not to play the free ones Platformer Driving Shooter Point and click Strategy Other (not in any order): Nitronic rush [free] kerbal space program papers please drunken robot pornography (the game is 100% clean btw) The ballads of reemus Gun godz [free] Defcon (lold) Uplink (old) Really big sky Super meat boy (old) Terraria (old) Dwarf fortress (old yet new) [free] Starmade [free] FLaiL (old) [free] Realistic summer sports [free] Garden gnome challenge (old) [free] Faster than light Rigs of rods (old) [free] RockLeeSmile is really epic, have been watching him for a while.

Once "NCG" by Bugbear games gets released... Though this may be 2014. So off-topic I suppose, but it will be my favorite indie game I'm sure...
Here's one that no one mentioned: One Late Night: http://www.onelatenight.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU0HFY8rA3w Scary, great graphics, fairly involved story/mechanics I had a great time playing, and it was genuinely scary. Great halloween night game
Gotta go with Space Engineers. It's just an early alpha right now, no gameplay, weapons not functional yet, but it's already awesome. It's everything you'd want from "Minecraft in Space" with pretty enjoyable destruction physics and good Newtonian ship mechanics. You can get it on Steam for $15 right now
Was just about to post that myself as i will buy Space Engineers this weekend, yay! Looks too good to resist.
Prison architect, game dev tycoon, gear up. Wanting to buy FTL but no money now so have to wait. Also play kerbal space program if thats indy anymore ?

Antichamber is great but I thought the game was far too short. That just there is what made me buy that game and you sir are absolutely right! This game is a gem! I'm going to pause playing, I've already spent 30 hours in there building mega ships but with so many game elements still missing there is no point at the moment... I also just picked up Kerbal Space Program. I'm in love. This nails everything about creativity and difficulty with a dash of K stupidity.
Beam NG OF COURSE xD! Journey was my favorite one this year. Excellent no-dialogue story telling, awesome music too!
