Proves that even in today’s world, more can always be done with less, with single focused design making it easy to jump right in – and out.

TouchArcade: One man, 1000+ design sketches and 1 years round the clock sweat and tears, has produced an intriguing puzzle platformer that's blown me away in terms of ingenuity and uniqueness. You can see why Apple chose to feature the game; the magic comes from the lego style constructions with blocks, characters and other objects. Each level is short and smart, providing just the objects you need to make it to the exit. Blocks and characters can be stuck together or pulled apart, and everything in game can be stacked on top of each other, or stuck to the side of other objects to increase their abilities and usefulness. It makes for varied solutions from fewer objects, requiring true problem solving skills.

Odd Bod Out is a physics-based puzzle game with a simple enough goal ' get your bot to the room's exit. The exit leads to another room, of course, and you'll need to get to the exit for that one, too. And so it goes for a total of 100 rooms, until the little bot finally finds freedom. Freedom from what? Well, the bot is literally the odd bot out, rejected from a bot assembly line for being just a bit too short and unceremoniously kicked down into a pit to await recycling.
TwoDashStash: "A fun thing to note about indie game developers, is that there is no wrong way to become one. Seriously, there isn’t. You can be a student who decides to make a game from a class project. You can be an established game developer who wants to make their own game with the knowledge they’ve accumulated from their years of experience. Or, in the case of Martin Magni, you could be a guy who wanted to do something practical with Artificial Intelligence."
