Blow has invested so much into his game – the acclaimed Xbox Live Arcade hit Braid, now coming to PC – that he deserves to be indulged. He spent around £125,000 of his own money in developing the game and he worked on it for three years. From the inception of his idea on a trip to Thailand in December 2004, the game grew into a star of the indie gaming circuit, picking up awards along the way. After just one year and with the final artwork still to be completed, it won the Independent Games Festival game design award at the 2006 Game Developer's Conference. It was obvious that a great game was in the making.

Nice list.
I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.
Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.
Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.
Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.
However there is always someone who comes up with the idea of a game.
When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....
Microsoft is offering three additional free games for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers in addition to the regular lineup of games this month.
And still the contradiction of getting something for "free" from a service you pay for continues.

KeenGamer: "Time manipulation concepts have been the foundation of many great games, including these 5 greats which do the them justice. Because every Back to the Future fan needs a bit more time manipulation to fulfil their time traveling fantasies."
Im thankful Quantum Break ended up here! The only thing that stopped this game from being talked up was Xbox exclusivity and the live action scenes being way too long...
Otherwise, it's basically Control with lighter visuals
TimeSpinner is a good time based metroidvania.
Also, Singularity rocks a a time-theme Bioshock-like FPS.
If you have not played Braid I highly recommend that you do. The Game had my friends and I discussing it long after the "ending credits". And, since my circle of friends is in the really damn close to forty subset maybe discussing the philosophical meaning of the game was more natural to us then say the 14 year old crowd.
"“I made a nice profit on the Xbox Live Arcade version,” says Blow. “So my aim with the PC version is more about getting people to play the game." (nice)
