Demon Truck is one of those hidden gem arcade games that really showcases a novel mechanic. I should have picked this up long ago. If you are into arcade games with mechanics that are simple-to-learn, yet impossible-to-master like Downwell or One Finger Death Punch, you'll likely really enjoy Demon Truck.
Essentially, you only need two buttons; the right mouse button accelerates/shields you, and the left mouse button attacks in random directions. The truck is possessed, and steers itself. It generally avoids obstacles, but if you are going to hit one, you just accelerate/shield through it. By using the attack, you refill the accelerate/shield meter, and vice-versa. Sounds complicated, but it is brilliantly simple. There are neat upgrade choices at the end of each round. Do you want another turret, or would you like to refill your health - that kind of thing.
Definately has that one-more-run appeal that will have you chasing your friend's scores on the leaderboards.
Pros:
+Really neat and novel mechanic
+Controls are as simple as it gets - literally two buttons
+Each level ends with a choice of upgrades that add a cool high-risk-high-reward component
+Super cheap
Cons:
-I'd be hard pressed to find any 'cons' with this little gem - if you know of any, please comment below
Well worth it for any lover of indie games.

Fun bullet-dodger/bullet-hell with a slightly unique twist to it. The inability to actually steer, and the controls consiting of entire left side of keyboard and entire right side of keyboard, its truly a good time to see how far you can get.

Interesting shmup! Pretty much applying one finger death punch into a shmup, but it feels... Less responsive.
One button shoots. The other accelerates/parries.
You avoid bullets by ramming into them while accelerating. It is quite satisfying.
Definitely a fun title and the music is fantastic.

For best results:
1) Listen to slayer while playing, make sure it's loud, ignore complaints from roommate and/or neighbors.
2) One hand should be raised up, making metal horns at all times.
3) Headbang, consider growing hair out to maximize effect.

Not being able to move is odd. Other than that, it's sort-of like Downwell and a Shmup had a demonic baby, that baby built a car, and then sold the car to Doomguy.
Also, in that video, I get rank #15 in THE WORLD. So y'know. I know what I'm doing.

Awesome two-button schmup! Simple but tight controls with a deep skill curve. The over the top explosions and rad soundtrack make it a joy to kick ass for Satan.

Lots of explosions, a cool button masher feeling, and a sick heavy metal midi soundtrack make this the kind of game that will always make you smile... and then swear violently when you explode.
