Bakage that's best described as if NieR: Automata was about vehicles instead of androids.
An early meta puzzle game on the Mac about a number 3 that gets lost in a computer. Some of the puzzles are obscenely difficult but I might just be bad at thinking.

Textless entry in the Clutter series, uses icons for everything and doesn't explain its mechanics. It's neat!
PS1 racing game where you run really fast instead of drive a car or whatever. It's not bad, the concept is just bizarre.
A large part of me refuses to believe this is anything more than a hoax but who am I to argue with reality.

Bakage where you fight construction vehicles. It has a cool anime FMV opening and you can play as a dog. If you can believe it, the big vehicles are way better than the dumpy little trucks you can play as!
Generally labelled as a schizocore game, it's a tower defense title where the towers have individual personalities and interact with the game space in very unique ways. The story is a little bonkos but it's also pretty well written.
