Description:
A physics action game with very unique controls, gameplay, and a universally praised branching plot. You play as a little battle copter, moving it around with your mouse, with a 2D side view. You can attach various battle implements to your machine {shields, swords, maces, guns, throwing weapons} and your main attack method is flying in circles at the right speed and angle to swing the weapon and hit your opponent.

Opinion:
An incredibly fun and unique physics brawler that gives you a ship, attaches a giant swinging weapon to it, and sets it in a mostly destructible environment; And what could be better then that?

Additionally, the artwork and graphics are just fantastic, with many of this site's decorations coming straight from this game.

Indieness: Indie, anything that is in a Humble Indie Bundle seems like it should be quite indie; But this game also is almost 100% action, normally conventionally priced, and has very detailed realistic graphics.
Play?: Must Play
