What independent game the most unusual, out-of-the-way, in you opinion?
In my opinion, most original indie game is Kryzta by Cactus... Killing foes by their arms - it is very unusual (for me).
P.S. Sorry for my English.

You forgot to apologize for spelling cactus with a capital C Tongue

As for what is the most 'unusual' indie game, Tarenagasi is the first one that springs to my mind, for sheer 'WTF' in both presentation and gameplay. Or Karoshi 2.0, did some pretty awesome meta-game stuff (not the same metagame as in Street Fighter).

Nekofight would get my vote here. It's very simple, and yet, I find myself drawn back to it. The way the characters shuffle around is strangely hypnotic, and in spite of the fact that there is almost no gameplay, it's addictive to watch those little guys tumble around and fly off the platform.

I would say this qualifies as a completely bizarre game because, well... There's no explanation. And yet, it seems as if these two blocky beings belong here. It's their nature to tumble and tussle, to go flying to oblivion. The game's oddities aren't crammed in your face, they're just there. And you have to make of it what you will.

Well, maybe there is an explanation and it's just in Japanese like everything else in the game. If there is, I don't even want to know!

Messhof's Randy Balma: Municipal Abortionist is just about the strangest indie game I've seen. Along with the La La Land series, of course.

Not really. Maybe Manbabies feel really strongly about Bizarre games?

Either that, or Cactus has fallen on hard times and is hitting the spambots. On one of his home forums.
