Not a bad list. Only knew about Recettear and Geometry Dash. Layers of Fear looks neat.
Crawl has a Gabe Newell boss. It almost makes too much sense to own it on steam.
Bejeweled?
[QUOTE=Daemon White;49727098]Not a bad list. Only knew about Recettear and Geometry Dash. Layers of Fear looks neat.[/QUOTE] It's terrifying and really good.
Layers of Fear is by far the best P.T clone out there because it's the only one that strays significantly away from the modern apartment theme and manages to remain fresh throughout. It's got some really intensive impossible space going on but it manages to keep it original for the most part. More of a spooky walking simulator than anything though, unlike P.T you can't actually die in this one.
I've seen or played most of these at some point, I highly recommend Recettear. I've beaten it a few times and still find myself going back and playing it, just be warned that if you want the ~whole story~ it requires a few runs and a lot of grinding, but even without that it's still a nice experience.

[sp]It's even mechanically similar to P.T. since if you get caught by Lisa in P.T. you pretty much reset on the starting room, and in Layers of Fear if you get caught by the 'ghost' you also wake up on a starting room.[/sp]

I can vouch for Recettear and Lethal League being good. May have to check out some of the others.

The first two Creeper Worlds are online as free games (such as Kongregate.com). They're good defense games. I can't vouch for the paid version.
No Nosferatu or Gorky 17 0/10
Some good games there. Lethal League can be a total laugh riot with friends
Recettear is awesome.

Okay, not bad. While eight of them I couldn't care less about (which is why I probably "missed" them) I didn't know Layers of Fear was out and Crawl sounds fucking great, actually.
