Dice wars
Coign of vantage
2d images encoded in 3d space. Move the mouse around to rotate the pixels so the images will assemble on screen! Sounds weird but it's quite fun!
Indestructo tank
Dino Run
Run little dino, run! Escape from your certain death! Ahaha! I like the way the game puts you in constant pressure.
Hapland series
One button Bob
A suite of one-button games ranging from shooting to flying and a few more. I got a score of 343 :)
Chopper
Chap hai snake bites / Chap hai / Shuffle
Loosely based on pool, knock out the opponent's pieces before it removes yours :)
Chap hai snake bites, Chap hai, Shuffle
G-Switch
Innuendos aside, I loved this game after playing it for 30 seconds! One-button type game, you simply press X to reverse your character's gravity while he's running. Brilliant :)
Colour my world
To quote Roy from the IT Crowd: "I feel delicate?"
(there are a few more games by the same author that you should seek out if you like this one, each one small and worth their time)
Infectonator! World
Travel around the world, meet exotic people and turn them into bloodthirsty zombies! With powerups available and lots of extra zombies to use, I've spent quite a big chunk of time playing this :)
Military rescue
Metal Slug fans, click already! It's awesome :)
Bullfist
The bulls have escaped! You have one minute to DESTROY CAPITALISM!
A really simple game that is very fun to play. Achieving bull rage is worth it - tear those buildings down :)

Give up robot 2
Sequels suck, don't they?
Gfx seem spiced up, more fx, more story, but hey, it's the same grappling hook fun as the first one, even some new features (like dragging missiles with the hook to designated areas so they explode!), so dig in!
Icycle
Icebreaker series
Cut the ice with the mouse to free the frozen vikings (or something like that!). Nice game mechanics.
Icebreaker, Icebreaker clan, Icebreaker gathering
Skywire 1 and 2
Submachine (series)
What better way to end a stressful day of hd/030 patching than a hard puzzle game? :P
I just learnt today that the 6th installment is out, and played it. As usual, it's full of logical puzzles with little or no hints, so you have to figure most of them by yourself. Interesting storyline too (it's not needed to enjoy the games, but it gives them coherence).
I hope I didn't intimidate you enough not to try it! The basement, The lighthouse, The loop, The lab, The root, FLF, Zero, The edge, The core, The plan, The temple and the last in the series: The exit.
Finwick
The sequel to platform. Excellent presentation, although much easier than platform itself. Requires registration after level 25.
If anything else, I think it's worth a try! Click here to do so.
Platform: the game
Very neat level design, nice storyline, keeps you on your toes.
Canabalt
Love this! Very nice graphic style and the fact that you're constantly under pressure keeps you on your toes! One-button mechanics at its finest!
The company of myself
A good idea for a platformer, solidly coupled with the narrative (again I think Braid influenced!)
Time fcuk
Very neat platformer, it adds a few innovations to the standard run'n'jump genre. Each screen (no scrolling) is about guiding the little guy to the exit, but each screen has 2 (or more) layers, so it's not so straightforward (or impossible) as it first seems! Yep, Valve's Portal influenced the platformers positively :)

When pigs fly
Don't look back
Pretty simple pixelated action/shooter again, 2nd half of the game justifies the title. And all around there's great atmosphere. The soundtrack reminds me of Braid's a lot, which is a good thing! Me likes :)
Below the house
A game made by Auntie Pixelante him(her?)self, during a Ludum dare (i.e. make a game in 48 hours straight). Cute idea, again I like the way the game's manual and story is embedded in the game background :)
Get it here
Star guard
Found this on Auntie Pixelante's nice site about game design:
Grab it from here. A no-frills shooter/platform that somehow sucks you in. Love the story as it appears as a part of the background gfx as you progress further into the game :)
Vox Populi Vox Dei
Nice pixellated platform beat-em-up with a twist! I bet you never beat werewolves to death and disembowel them with your bare hands :)
Small worlds
I thought I'd copy the text of the first game I reviewed on the D-Bug forum, just to set the mood here as well:
From time to time I play some games from various sites that I like a lot. So I just thought I'd put up a page as a marker for those games!Starting with one I saw today, Small worlds. Proof that a good concept can do wonders to a game! At first it looks like a quite blocky noisy platform game, but as you move it gets beautiful!
