I've been playing the lovely Knytt Stories, the sequel to one of my all-time favourite indie games. It's damned good, although I still prefer the purity and imaginitive simplicity of the original.
If you're into slightly alternative gameplay, minimalist pixel art or platformers, I highly reccommend giving it a go, it'll probably devour your afternoon.
It also opened my eyes to the beauty of chiptunes; that is, music composed to be orchestrable on the synthesisers built into the consoles of yesteryear. It's got a pleasing retro vibe to it, and I've been particularly enjoying the work of Nurykabe. VNV Nation, eat your heart out.
