Good indie games?

Hi. So I'm looking for indie games to play. Do you have any recommendations? I especially like puzzle platformers, side scrollers. Or something like that. My favorite indie games: Braid, Minecraft, Limbo, Rico - A tale of two brothers Thomas was alone, So any games along those lines. Because I'm really getting sick of those repetitive AAA games. I mean REALLY sick. Is it just me, or there are almost no good modern AAA games? Not counting Portal 1 & 2, and Mirrors Edge, because they are awesome. But seriously, Battlefield 3 campaign feels just like any Modern Warfare or Black ops games. You shoot something, there are few movie-like scenes but nothing more than that. Ok i'm not here to rant. So do you guys have any suggestions? I am talking about PC indine games. Because I don't own any console. Also android games would be good, but I have very slow phone (600MHZ, OC'd to 806MHZ, 320x240 screen), so I don't think there are good games for MY phone.

In addition to many of the above you could check out Snapshot -- it's a neat little plat-former with a mechanic based around taking photos to move parts of the scenery.

It's not a platformer or side-scroller, but my wife and I also really liked The Binding of Isaac, and have spent hours playing through it and unlocking many of the ridiculous number of items, additional bad-guys and achievements.

I used to play a lot of flash games of that sort. I'm not completely certain these are all indie games, I apologize if some of them aren't.

Flash Games:

The Company of Myself
Shift 1, Shift 2, Shift 3
Loved
House of Dead Ninjas (Not a puzzle game at all. It has a sequel, Super House of Dead Ninjas, which is on steam)
Depict 1
Luftrauser (not a puzzle platformer, but whatever - I really like it!)
Continuity
Enough Plumbers

Non-flash Games:

The original Spelunky (don't think it counts as a puzzle game though?)
Antichamber (a 3D puzzle game)
Hero Core (not a puzzle game either, 2D side scrolling shooter)

gah, I know there were dozens of fun indie platformers I played over time, but I don't have a list of them : ( I found most of them (and these) on the indiegames blog and TIG Source, (and by browsing kongregate). I'll try to remember to look when I get home to get a more complete list.
