What is your favorite freeware game?

[Twistkill]

Sonny. An RPG made in flash that kind of peters out by the time you reach level 40 and can beat Zone 4 easily, but an excellent game nonetheless.

Oh, and look at this... a sequel! This one has individual trees for each of the 3 new classes, a lot more scaling (abilities use percentages instead of constant numbers), new sprites and more characters, new and more varied armor sets, it's going to be expanded soon to include achievements and 2 new zones, near-full voice acting, 3 difficulty levels, and it even has a Local PVP mode! It's about 20 MB. It is so large that it almost had to be divided in half, but Krin managed to squeeze it in.

I extracted the .swfs onto my computer and I can play them using the Adobe 10 Flashplayer Debug standalone application.

I'm in to more artistic productions, myself. Knytt (all of them) and Cloud are probably my favorite freeware games.

[epigone]

N obviously, then all the Nifflas games, Knytt Stories, Within A Deep Forest, etc.

[Animator]

Ah, God. Hm.

- Cave Story. (Obvious.)
- Untitled Story (Fun game.)
- 7 minutes. (A mysterious platformer.)
- F_ck space. (It's a simple, pixelly shot-em-up.)
- Virtual Silence. (Mysterious puzzler, be warned epileptics)
- Banana Nababa (formerly known as Boss Run)
- Yume Nikki (Explore dreams, be warned.)
- Noitu Love (and the second, but the second one doesn't count as freeware.)
- Rumblebox. (The enemies die as cubes, it's hilarious.)
- Sumotori (Drunken sumo wrestlers, and the hidden secret is hilarious)
- Agressive Sokoban. (It's sokoban, only agressive)
- Conaway's the Game of life (It's more of a mathematical game, but it's really awesome, there's a better version somewhere.)
- Warning forever, and Fraxy (Both are mostly the same thing, only Fraxy has a level editor)
- Echoes. (You shoot polygons, if I remember correctly)
- Iji. (You determine the game by morality, which is relatively unique. You won't get the same results as a killing machine over a friendly person.)
- The Knytt series, and Within a Deep Forest (Because it's so serene.)
- The now discontinued OE-Cake. (It's a realistic sandbox, amazing stuff, sadly.)
- Most of the TouHou games that involve shooting (It's not easy, I assure you.)
- Irisu Syndrome (Even though it still freaks the hell out of me, it's a quite enjoyable tetris-like game.)
- Skullpogo (You're a fancy skeleton guy on a pogo killing things in a hurry. That defines awesome.)
- Teeworlds (Killing cute little things, but it's strictly online multiplayer. Still, fun.)
- The Power (Cave-Story like, not as fun as Cave Story but still fun.)
- Minubeat(Get with the beat. Awesome coordinated shoot-em-up.)
- Tron, and most of it's clones.
- ROM CHECK FAIL. (Elements of most old games clash together to create... something, but it's fun.)
- Gunbound (While it was still good. I miss the old days.)

And that's my list. The ones in which don't have links either have different version or the link is currently down for now.

[Geti]

HELLS YEAH! Twistkill, I could kiss you. I've waited for a sequel for this game for AGES. It's only been 2 days, and I'm already a level 19 Hydraulic.
