Creaky Old Memory

Collect items to help Tatiana remember her past in this artsy yet emotional puzzle game.

Eversion

Bright turquoise background? Check. Purple blocks? Check. Cute little characters? Check. Meet Eversion, even though it looks like another cutesy platformer game, try playing it and you might be in for a surprise. The game looks deceptively simple thanks to its bright, cheery graphics, but it is pretty difficult to beat and will pretty much mess with your brain. So, if you are in hard core game mode and miss the challenges of a Nintendo game. Eversion is the game to try out.

Obake

Obake is a cool platformer game that features unique and fun gameplay. It is a Japanese platformer game that has a similar gameplay to that of favorites, Mario and Kirby. It's also filled with the same charm and fun elements contained in both games. Enjoy over 50 levels as you play the titular "Obake" or basically, a ghost. Fight and possess more than 20 different enemies and have an excellent time.

Gandhi Gandhi Boom Boom

Gandhi Gandhi Boom Boom is a bit unusual in that they force you to merge the opposites. In this game, you have to work hard to make sure that Gandhi and hamburgers do not connect as much as possible. The interesting gameplay and the non-linear game concept is what's held as a standout for this game. It won praises at the 2009 Global Game Jam and was developed by Clement Linel, Eric Scott, Rosanna Lopez, and Traci Lawson.

Nanosmiles

Nanosmiles is not just another arena shooter game. One of the entries for the Tokyo Games Festival, this little shooter game gives player a different approach towards gameplay as well as the control scheme. In the game, you can use inanimate ships found within your area to target your enemies instead of you attacking directly. It takes a bit of time to get used to this unique style of fighting but once you do get the hang of it, the results are quite interesting.

SudoCue

SudoCue is one of the many Sudoku-based games available for free download online. There's no doubt that Sudoku has become quite a staple for brain puzzler enthusiasts. It's easy to play, it's challenging and some even claim that it helps to improve your mathematical skills. I'm not too sure whether it does or it doesn't but you can definitely have some fun solving those Sudoku puzzles with SudoCue.

Solace

Solace might seem like another shooter game out there, and in many ways it is a basic shooter game. You just have to kill and take down the enemy so you can move on to the next level. However, instead of providing you with regular levels, it allows you to traverse in the 5 stages of grief. The game was developed by students in Digipen and has become considered as one of the top entries in PAX10. Filled with colorful graphics, it is a beautifully rendered game with a nice gameplay.

Dear Agent

Prominent indie developer, Cactus, has done it again. Dear Agent sees you fighting off terrorists in every level; taking out every single one of their equipments while making a speedy and timely exit. It's a bit tedious but ultimately you'll enjoy blasting and fighting your way through all the bad guys in each stage. Dear Agent features several levels and makes the perfect mini break for that barrage of paperwork at the office.

Akrasia

Got 5-10 minutes to spare on your break? Then you might want to hit up your PC and play Akrasia. The title comes from a Greek word, meaning, "acting against one's better judgment." In the game, you play a small, round character that has to navigate inside a maze representing your mind. On your way, there are various pills that you take which helps increase your score at the cost of a degrading life point. Plus, monsters chase you and your surrounding turns dark and nasty every time you forget to take your "pill."
