Copy Kitty! A quirky one, but an all-time personal fave. Like a more technical Gunstar Heroes, where every combination of up to THREE looted enemy weapons can be mashed together into a single screen-clearing superweapon. Great NG+ mode and bosses.

Has a level editor and Steam Workshop support!

Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia - A genuinely great Touhou-themed tribute to the earlier Shin Megami Tensei games. Technical and involved creature-collecting dungeon crawler with bullet hell minigames to convert enemies into allies. No Touhou knowledge needed.

Also it's UNDER A DOLLAR. 92% OFF.

Space Rangers HD! One of the biggest, weirdest, most ambitious space trading and fighting sandboxes ever, featuring turn-based tactical ship combat, a main story that NPCs can complete if you slack off, 3D RTS segments, arcade shooter bits, several text adventures and a reworked English translation.

Kaiju Wars! Unique turn-based tactics. There's a big monster stomping your cities and you need to hold out long enough for your scientists to figure out how to make it go away. Very asymmetric. Also includes FMV, funny jokes, a library of public domain monster movies & a remake of Godzilla 2 on NES.

Severed Steel! Still one of the best bullet-time shooters ever made, and it's by a one-man studio. The gimmick is that you've only got one hand (the other is a wall-melting arm cannon), so instead of reloading, you just grab fresh guns from bad guys. Fully destructible maps, raytracing & editor too.

Pyre! From the studio behind Hades and the one I prefer. It's a 3-on-3 wizard basketball sports drama with a hyper-reactive story that only reveals its most interesting branches when you lose. Play on the highest difficulty you can handle, so every triumph feels earned, and every loss interesting.

Stomping our cities like a big playground?
