The Binding of Isaac

Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl's 2011 Flash roguelike sold itself for $4.99 on Steam rather than living free on a portal, and turned a three-month game jam project into the game most credited with dragging the roguelike out of niche obscurity — years before Flash's own limitations forced McMillen to rebuild it from scratch as Rebirth.

Coma

A Newgrounds exploration game a teenage Thomas Brush built alone in ActionScript 2.0, drawing over 8 million plays in 2010 on hand-drawn atmosphere and dream logic that its own fifteen minutes of gameplay can't fully carry.

Escaping the Prison

PuffballsUnited's second Henry Stickmin game locks its stick-figure lead in a cell with a mystery cake and thirty-six branching choices, and bets the whole experience on the joke waiting behind every wrong answer rather than on the puzzle logic of picking the right one — a bet that made it Newgrounds' most-viewed entry in the entire series within its first year.

Sift Heads World: Act 1

The Canadian studio Pyrozen's March 2010 relaunch of its long-running assassin saga drops three playable bounty hunters into a Chicago-to-Palermo mob war with almost no recap for anyone who hasn't already played five previous games — a point-and-click shooting gallery bolted onto a gun-shop economy that the series had already run once before.
