Recommended Indie(ish) or 'novel (for novelties sake)' games to buy?

Killer 7 is very interesting to play.

Indie means games programmed in people's garages, but kickass recommendation anyhow.

Gish. And Blast Miner. And Ragdoll Masters. And Lugaru. And Pocket Tanks. And Toribash. And Avernum/Geneforge. And Darwinia.

Sadly, I cannot offer any more of the games to the list, but having checked as many as I can, I find this list to be extremely good.
(Get 1213. For the love of god, get and play 1213. It's made by our friend Yahtzee, it's short and powerful, it's like 5MB total, and it's wicked good.)

I heartily recommend Audiosurf to everyone that doesn't have it. It's tailored to your tastes because you choose the music, and therefore the style of the tracks and gameplay.

I don't really know if it qualifies as a game, more of an interactive screensaver, but I think The Endless Forest is pretty good.
