Features  A physics-based puzzle game in which you maneuver a hole in the ground that grows each time it swallows something.  In addition to evoking the spirit of beloved puzzler Katamari Damacy, the brief hands-on demo at Fantastic Arcade demonstrated just how many clever directions the simple premise can be stretched, like triggering events by using the hole to move too-large objects rather than swallow them.  Game link -> http://www.donutcounty.com/


2.Gang Beasts

Features  A free-for-all fighting game featuring colorful anthropomorphic blobs doing hilariously gruesome things to each other.  Perhaps the most widely known game on this list, Gang Beasts has already started to garner a following thanks to its electric energy and unexpected slapstick comedy  That combination of exhilarating local multiplayer and dark, hilarious hijinks that emerge organically from the action actually caught the attention of Double Fine Productions, who recently picked up the project.  Game link - > http://gangbeasts.com/
