cogs is a decent puzzle game
AYIM seems like a puzzle game but i wasn't into the gameplay
crayon physics is great
VVVVVV is way too hard for me
hammerfight sucks, great UI but it seems unplayable to me. i can't figure out how to control the dude

Hammerfight bugged me too. Try turning your DPI down, that'll make the sensitivity higher, it makes it easier to play. My mouse should be 600 dpi, I changed it to 250.

your ship follows the mouse
make circular motions to swing the weapon attached to your ship

that's all you need to know for the first few levels, after that some guy tells you other controls

tap right mousebutton to turn your weapon around (useful for one-edged swords).
if you want to throw your selected weapon, hold rmb, swing it, and release to let your weapon fly
mousewheel cycles through your equipment (lower left part of your screen).
hold left mouse button to pick things up. you can catch thrown weapons like that.
while holding lmb, press a key to set a hotkey for whatever you've got selected.
pressing that key then does the same thing as switching to it and tapping lmb.
tap lmb uses the selected item.
with shields, it locks them around you so you're completely protected (depending on how many shields you have) but it makes you move slower.
with potions, you use them
you can lock 2 weapons together by tapping lmb on one, switching to the other, and lmb that too
their handles become locked so they influence eachother.
you can use a heavy hammer as a counterweight to a light sword to make it hit harder for example.


and that's basically it

Your mouse sensitivity should probably be really ridiculously high when you play hammerfight. Otherwise it feels really sluggish.

<3 Hammerfight.
Still not dead.
