Short list, but very similar to what I'm working on in my list (in fact I took it as a reminder to add FTL, Xenonauts, and Dead State, two of which I've already bought and the latter being on Kickstarter soon.

@zeekthegeek: I could expand on it a lot more but considering the amount of indie games coming out that can get pretty overwhelming so it's really a list of games that don't get mentioned a whole lot (I think so anyway.) Which reminds me I should add Spy Party and Monaco to the list.

Hah, fair enough. And good adds!
