Alrighty, I'll embrace the Past/present/Future theme, so one from each of one of my favourite genres, the 2D/2.5D side-scrolling puzzle platformer.
Past:
Little Bug
Buddy Systems Games
Delightful puzzle platformer where a young girl, Nyah, has to navigate the dream world with the help of a ball of light. Both characters are controlled at once allowing for intricate moves and tricks.
Present:
Northern Lights
Dimle Team
Short but sweet adventure puzzle game about a lonely robot waking up after a global calamity. Fantastic graphics, sound and scope mark this as a high quality start to hopefully further adventures!
Future:
Night LIghts
Meridian Games
The world is different at night. Night Lights is a 2D puzzle platformer that tasks a tiny robot to illuminate the world. Manipulate light and shadow to change the environment, solve intricate puzzles, collect shards and resurrect a fallen star.
