My list (in the order I remember them):
Gun Girl 2
Hero Core
Revenge of the Titans
Fault Line
Attack of the Paper Zombies
10 Second War

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Gun Girl 2. That's definitely top on my list.

The soundtrack is awesome but the game is boring.

[ANtY]

2. Super Crate Box
3. Cortex Command
4. Turris
5. Beaver Builder
6. Revenge of the Titans
7. Minecraft

Bwa? No way! How far did you get? The game gets pretty frantic once you unlock a few of the extra weapons and abilities.

@ANtY Don't know if Cortex Command counts when it's been in the same unfinished state for the last 3-4 years.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

@ANtY Nothing to be sorry for. I suppose it still counts if you only tried it this year.

Trying to think of any indie iOS games that I really enjoyed. It might just be Zombie Smash.

[Taiko]

I'll throw in some nominees:

Transformice - certainly the pure most fun I've had all year with an indie game.
Minecraft - for all the reasons noted above.
Saira - beautiful atmospheric platformer.

[Brother Android]

Wow. I didn't play many games at all this year, it looks like.

Norrland was interesting. And I enjoyed Hero Core, totally removed from my own contributions to it. Minecraft and VVVVVV are nice but I didn't get a chance to play them much.

I need to check out Space Funeral; it looks like something I'd like.

[slembcke]

Oh, I totally forgot VVVVVV even after seeing it a dozen times already in this list.  Best Valentine's day surprise even. (don't read too much into that)

[googoogjoob]

Saira

Saira - beautiful atmospheric platformer.

saira came out in december 2009

No love for Super Crate Box, Paul?

i'm a jwaaaap/jw fan, but no, i didn't like super crate box very much (but i also didn't play it very much, though i did watch ortoslon's video of it). i did like frenzy defense a lot, though.

1. Space Funeral
--- Rest in no specific order ---
2. Arvoesine
3. Super Crate Box
4. VVVVVV
5. Herocore
6. Xycle 2

Will update when I can think of more games...

what about uin? i remember you liking that game a lot

and yeah, space funeral is great too, i forgot about that one...

@FrankieSmileShow - osmos was released in august of 2009

[moshboy]

Hmm I haven't played enough from this years releases either. I would list the few games I did manage to play and enjoy, except I would feel that it is an unfair list because they aren't being compared to anything else to make it a top whatever list.

[broadcastbrian2]

Games that I played this year that I enjoyed.

     Mr. Heart Loves You Very Much http://indygamer.blogspot.com/2007/10/mr-heart-loves-you-very-much.html
     Octodad (DePaul FTW) http://octodadgame.com/

     Cortex Command http://www.datarealms.com/
     Organ Trail http://hatsproductions.com/organtrail.html
     Canabalt http://www.adamatomic.com/canabalt/

Some of these games did not release this year but did in past years. This list just contains many of the games that I came across and enjoyed immensely this year.

No particular order:

Phenomenon 32
Digital: A Love Story
Minecraft
The Terrible Whiteness of Appalachian Nights
Feign
Redder
Hero Core
Norrland
Abbaye des morts
The Sense of Connectedness

[PGGB]

what about uin? i remember you liking that game a lot

Oh yeah forgot that. I still didn't get far in that game.

[deathtotheweird]

Gonna add a few games to my list that I forgot:

8. treatise
9. cascode
10. l'abbaye des morts

[Derek]

Hydorah
L'Abbaye des Morts
Space Funeral
Super Meat Boy
Desktop Dungeons
Game Dev Story
Streemerz
Amnesia: Dark Descent (still playing through it, though)
Faraway (still in development, so I don't know if it counts - it was playable at GAMMA4)
Ninja Senki (maybe because I just played it, but I love the design and pixel art!)

I'm sure Minecraft would be in there if I played it, but I'm afraid of starting it while I'm so busy.

I also really enjoyed playing through VVVVVV, but I think the simplistic graphics (while totally suitable for the game) are kinda throwing me right now. I'm crushing on Ninja Senki too hard!

[Alec S.]

In no particular order:

L'Abbaye Des Mortes
VVVVVV
Minecraft
Super Crate Box
Super Meat Boy
Norrland
Desktop Dungeons
Sombreros
Flotilla
Solipskier

All this just reminds me I really need to play Space Funeral.

[Sakar]

Not in any particular order

Super Meat Boy
Super Crate Box
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Revenge of the Titans
Minecraft
VVVVVV
Osmos
Transformice
Tower Climb

Oh right! I played it kinda recently so I guess that in my mind it was pretty recent!
