Eversion is a really fun old-school style platformer. It's available for free and is very easy/fast to run. I highly suggest this game, it's a small file so check it out.
The game mechanics have a fun twist on 2D platforming. You can use the X key or Spacebar to "evert" the level. This power only works in certain areas and it changes the map, making previously unpassable locations passable. An example eversion is making all of the clouds solid so you can use them as platforms. Experiment to find the eversion locations. The maps are small, so it isn't difficult.
This game has a pretty big twist which I won't reveal and if you want to discuss the twist please use spoiler tags. Just try the game and you'll see why I had to blog about it. There is another freeware game I discovered tonight that I want to blog about but I'll save that till tomorrow.
So check out the game. Once you get into it, you'll see what I mean. I don't want to say much more, you need to play for yourself.

I'm pretty sure we had a thread about it half a year ago. And the ending is funny(ok i cheated to finish it). + Show Spoiler +The theme of different layers of twilight reminds me of Lukyanenko's Night Watch books.

Yes. It was not a great thread. Only 3 posts, so I figured I'd make a new blog.
I'll be blogging about Yume Nikki tomorrow.

Great stuff, have an unjustified fondness for indie games, will have to check it out 
I encourage everyone to check out Every Extend, easily the best indie game I've ever played, in my top five games of all time.

Be sure to check out my next blog then ;o
I might do a few indie games, there are some really sweet ones out there. Every Extend is a blast, I played it on a friends PSP. When I get a PSP I'll for sure pick it up.

I'd thoroughly recommend just playing the PC version. It's free, only a few MB and the gameplay is a lot more "pure" and straightforward.
The PSP version tried to make it into a blockbuster, Tetsuya Mizuguchi at the helm, if I remember rightly, and added some more synaesthetic elements to the whole affair, but the original is superb

Wow level 6 is tough. Took me awhile. + Show Spoiler +The ending is a bit anti-climactic with all the hype these spoiler tags generate. xD Creepiest part was when the game told me it was watching me.

Collect every gem. Then in the level where the 240/240 is a part of the level itself, stand under it and evert to get the hidden level. If you complete that level you get the good ending.
