The best indie game ever

CS:GO for me since I missed the 75% off. lol

Terraria. Maybe Starbound

Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, World of Goo, Little Inferno, Realm of the Mad God (free), the Binding of Isaac.

Minecraft :) but it isn't on steam

The Legend of Grimrock is definitely one to pick up if you like dungeon games.

Aquaria, Braid, Cave Story+, Super Meat Boy and Waking Mars.

No such thing. There can't be a "best ever" in a highly subjective category.

BRAID.

I think I've enjoyed VVVVVV and Nightsky out of the indie games so far.

Binding of isaac, hotline miami, or ftl; can't choose.

Many

There are lots of indie games I really like, the last good one was 'Thomas was alone' from the newest HIB, which was a nice puzzle platformer with good game mechanics :)

Indie games are way too diversified to be comparable to one another in general, but some of the ones I've enjoyed a lot are: Waking Mars, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes (any Capybara game is awesome), SpaceChem, Quantum Conundrum, QUBE, Orcs Must Die! 2, Sol Survivor, and many many more :p

platformer genre: thomas was alone

first person puzzle: quantum conundrum

survival: don't starve

"indie" isn't even a specific genre you know.I could say Super Meat Boy is the best ever (it's certainly one of my favorites), but if you're not the type for platforming games you're not going to agree with that.
