Indie game suggestions?

I just spent a week playing Game Dev Tycoon furiously and now I'm burned out on it.

I guess I'm kind of interested in strategy/puzzle/simulation... something where you design or build something. Or a business game.

Something along the lines of dungeon keeper, evil genius, fast food tycoon 2.

I don't know. Something that I can go OCD with micromanagement.

Any suggestions?
 
If you're playing on a mobile platform, all of kairosoft's games are great. I'm actually playing dungeon village right now and it's way too addicting. clocked about 5 hours last night unlocking stuff. :awe:

These three things go together 🙂

As for a micromanage game, maybe give Stardrive a try. It is a 4X space game. Basically micromanage to your hearts delight, then go blow up entire worlds.

Not quite along the lines you mentioned, but SpaceChem is the best puzzle game I've seen in years.

+1 for SpaceChem

Cogs is a nice little puzzler as well.

World of Goo is a bit of puzzler with a touch of levity.

Osmos has some puzzle elements too it as well as a little action.

Probably quite a few I'm forgetting about.

Definitely World of Goo (and its soundtrack is fantastic), Trine and AudioSurf (superb time burner in my opinion). There's many others though but those three are always installed for me. I play AudioSurf regularly and occasionally try to complete World of Goo puzzles in different ways on a rainy day. As for Trine it's just plain fun and simple although I must say I haven't touched in a quite a while, it's still very fun though.
 
If design/build is a big plus to you, try Kerbal Space Program. Addictive rocket/plane building and space sim. Eighty hours in, and I have a small space station and visited two moons... so much more to do. But, no real game to it yet, just sandbox play atm.

Binding of Isaac - Zelda-like on LCD.
Space Pirates and Zombies - Asteroids/Star Control-like fighter/builder.
Terraria - Minecraft in 2D with a real 'game' behind it.
FTL - space rogue-like
Dungeons of Dredmor - Rogue-like dungeon crawler
