Basically, this thread is to highlight old and not-so old indie games that are really great, but no one is playing them anymore.
If you can remember an indie game that you really had a good experience with, post it here after a page of the current game has passed.
The first game, Gymnast, was set by me, and after people have talked about their experiences for a page, the first person on page 2 to bring up an indie game in the format I am about to use with Gymnast, sets the game for page 2. Then, everyone talks about their experiences with the page 2 game until page 3 comes, etc.
[Game: Gymnast

[Review: This is truly a great game. The open-endedness brought to you by the excellent physics engine is enough to keep me playing even today. With a level editor, a community site with other user-created levels, an excellent replay viewer, it's got all the features you want. While a little buggy, with a few crashes every now and then, it's still something I can show someone and have fun with.]
Now, for page 1, everyone gives their review of the game, and as I said earlier, on page 2, someone sets a new game in the format I just used.
You have to play the game first if you haven't played it, in order to review. If you haven't played it in a long time, you have to play it again to refresh your memory.
This thread is to raise awareness about lost gems in the indie community.
Thread, BEGIN!
EDIT: Here's a video of the current game.
