Every five turns, the lowest land is flooded by the sea, and everyone on it drowns, until the mountains are eventually flooded and we see who you've rescued.

Without further ado, these are the 25 best independent games of 2012.In conjunction with the Official XNA Indie Games thread, weve decided it might be nice to have a monthly update of the best games that came out on the channel over the last four or so weeks.

However, each and every one of the following games deserves their time in the spotlight for the innovation, creativity, and fun they brought us this year. Tell us who we forgot, what you think was overrated, and why your favorite indie games deserve to be at the top. There's no doubt you've got your own pecking order and we'd love to hear it in the comments below. Picking the best of the best from this past year wasn't easy, and this list could have easily turned into a top 50 or top 100, but we've got to draw a line somewhere. Kickstarter revolutionized what games get funded, Steam Greenlight allowed players to choose which titles got a shake on the marketplace, and we saw some truly fantastic games make their way to our PCs, consoles, and handhelds. It's been a pretty exciting year for the independent games scene.
