Okay, I'm trying to get back into some indie gaming again, and I just need some suggestions. I have never really played very many indie games, but two of the best indie games I've ever played are Faster than Light and Legend of Grimrock. I also really loved Universe Sandbox as well. 

I have Antichamber on my wishlist, so I'll be getting that when it goes on sale. 

I don't like platforming games, so do not suggest those to me. I'm looking for stuff that's really unique, interesting, and fun to play. Outside of platformers, I'm open to anything.

I highly recommend Primordia, even if you hate adventure games, it's well worth trying out. The setting is fleshed out and interesting, the plot just grabs you from the start and never lets you go, and the characters are fantastic. Seriously, if you ever need a compelling, engrossing game, try it out.  

I recommend To The Moon, an adventure game with a great story, brilliant music and simplistic puzzles. It's also around 4hours in length, so you wont take much time experiencing it. Really liked the story, it trully is memorable. 

Another one i love is Hotline Miami. Again, brilliant soundtrack, but this time it's a top down beat 'em up with ridiculously fun, tight combat, and a ton of gore. If you haven't played it yet, you're missing out. Highly recommended, had a lot of fun with this one.

I've been enjoying FTL (which you've played) and Kerbal Space Program lately.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit - This is a very well-made roguelike with good combat, and tons of variety.

World of Goo- Silly humor, with a suprisingly good story. Awesome game mechanic, and silly plot twist. Bastion- Excellent game overall. Soundtrack really makes this thing shine. FTL- Most frustrating addiction you will face. It has its merits. All three of these games are fracking amazing.

Deadlight is cool. It's not going to challenge your mind or anything but it's just good atmosphere. $3.74, right now.
