Oh boy, 2012 was great for indie games. Kickstarter helped a lot of indie games find their funding, Steam’s Greenlight project helped finished indie games find their audience, and a bunch of indie bundles helped both developers, charities and gamers with lust for indie games.

Hundreds and hundreds of indie games were released in the last 365 days, but only one can be THE  best. That’s where you come in. We worked hard to make a list of 20 games we like the most, and it’s up for you to vote for your favorite.
