If you like dark souls style games, Salt & Sanctuary. It's basically a 2d version. And just as confusing as the Souls games.

Is Sonic Mania an Indie?

Membrane is a pretty interesting little physics puzzle game. You shoot out triangles that you can use to build bridges an more. Also it's set inside a human body. Got it for 99c some years ago during a sale.

Momodora for a metroid-like.. kind of.
Maybe Rabi-Ribi too. Don't let the cutesy rabbit crap fool you, it's a really intense game.

Mugsters is a decent action game. Not sure how to describe it, look at some gameplay I suppose.

Finally my personal favorite: Rain World! It's basically a side scrolling survival simulator, but that doesn't do it justice. All the wild life that wants to eat you is 'alive' even when off screen. Some may eat other enemies for example. You can even feed some enemies and become friends (dangerous!). It's quite incredible IMO.

I hope something here tickles your fancy!

do I need to play the first one to enjoy the second one?

You don't really need to if you are only interested in the fun gameplay.

But I would suggest you play both. While the 1st is great, 2nd is an improvement in nearly every way so it would be better to play them in order. Especially if you care about story at all. If you like the 2nd one enough to go back and play the 1st, I think it would feel weird to go from 2 to 1.

They are both fantastic and would also highly recommend both.

Night in the woods. Man, when I played it, it started out a little bit boring, but after some hours, it became one of my favorite games of all time. It's as good as that. It is simple, but it escalates to a level that you will be wondering about your existence.

Sonic The Hedgehog 1 Remake with mania physics (6 dolars) is good and celeste I heard it's very good

Already have Celeste and doesn’t mania have the same physics as the classic games? They felt extremely similar to me, it’s just that mania felt a tiny bit faster

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
