Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I'll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it's a hidden gem tbh, but it's such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

Unciv for Android. It's basically Civilization 5, but FOSS.

Shoutout to Iji, too. Amazing soundtrack and lots of replayability. It's an old game by now, but it's also free. Sidescrolling platformer, killing is optional.

Assault Android Cactus. Dunno how well known the game is, but it's one of the best twin stick shooters/bullet hell I've played, with the android girls full of charm.

I was going to say Iji. Such an amazing game, it's like the 2D version of an immersive sim. I wish there was a remake only so the dev could make the money they rightfully deserve.

I recommend Nex Machina if you enjoyed that one.

Uh, which one? I mentioned 3 games

Sorry, Assault Android Cactus. The formatting in my app made it look like two separate comments when I was skimming quickly.
