Moonlight: Mistress of Mischief
Lantana Games
Moonlight: Mistress of Mischief follows the adventures of the titular character as she ransacks her way through multiple castles with ever increasing odds stacked against her. Though a classic puzzle game at first glance along the lines of Crusher or Pac-ManMoonlight also has stealth mechanics to up the challenge. Keep clear of guards, turrets, traps, and more. Hide in crates and shank unsuspecting guards in the back with your trusty knife. Collect all the gems you can and find the way out of each room.

Jungle.com
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Part roguelike, part stealth game, part puzzler, Jungle.com is a game about robbing Silicon Forest’s hottest new “World Wide Web” startup while simultaneously being its best customer. Explore a vast procedurally generated rain-office as you use only your wits (and any loose cash) to climb the corporate vine, tamper with shareholder dollars, and avoid carnivorous middle-managers.

Snapshot
Retro Affect
What if a camera captured more than just an image? In Snapshot, that’s exactly what Pic’s camera does. It actually absorbs objects into photographs, removing them from existence! Paste one of your pictures back into the world and see all of your captured objects come tumbling out. Capture even the most unusual objects: doors, light, even copies of yourself! Travel through four unique worlds, collect beautiful and elusive objects, and overcome the most challenging puzzles.

Button Brigade
Axis Sivitz
In Button Brigade, the buttons that control the game are actually a part of the game world. Delivered through a top-down world with touch controls, players will help an audacious robotic worm escape from the very factory that created it. The factory is home to hundreds of buttons that can be used to solve puzzles created by the scheming factory foremen, as well as defeat hostile worms.

Track
WPI
Track is currently a multiplayer 2D shooter game. Players are bound to the Track, and must fight to the end in order to achieve victory. This is a game like no other.

Candlelight
IBM
2D puzzle platformer. A single-player game with two characters focused on perception and exploration.

Nanoswarm
80HD Games
The swarm has gained sentience and must escape from captivity! Guide the cloud of nanobots through a puzzling science facility using the swarm’s abilities to condense, expand, and even split!

Shape Shatter
82 Apps
Shape Shatter is a sandbox puzzle game that appears extremely simple, but clever players will detect a hidden deeper layer of psychological experimentation. On the surface it’s a casual game about finding patterns and optimizing choices, but as players progress further and become more addicted to the game mechanics it begins to raise interesting and difficult questions about the nature of game design and player motivation.

Rite
Father Octopus
A puzzle-platformer which plays with multiple dimensions and death.

Downwards
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Downwards is a innovative puzzle-platform game that uses your iPhone/iPod as the controller in new ways. A dangerous virus has infiltrated your device! Guide Upbot, the cute and fearless antivirus robot, through the digital world of your device by leading him around with your finger and turning the phone to get him to his destination. With over 20 challenging levels and a charming digital aesthetic, Downwards is a fun and exciting game experience for iOS.







Comments


Are you talking about the dolnowad-able games? If so, everything should be fine. The next generation of consoles will use the same market (PSN/XBL) as today, probably just an upgraded version. So your stuff will be saved. Too early to be thinking ahead, next consoles should be out by late 2013.
