[The Independent Games Festival](http://igf.com/2012/01/2012%5Findependent%5Fgames%5Ffestiva%5F5.html?ref=killscreen.com), the videogame equivalent to Sundance, except without all the stars, has recognized 13 innovative games made by students last year. These include a game in which [you play as a magic moth (Dust)](http://www.exploredust.com/?ref=killscreen.com), a game about [ballroom dancing in outer space (Once Upon a Spacetime)](http://onceuponaspacetime.weebly.com/?ref=killscreen.com), an iPhone game about [a pet maggot (Liliths Pet)](http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entry2012.php?id=661&ref=killscreen.com), and [the strangest take on Geometry Wars yet (Pixi)](https://singapore.digipen.edu/?id=2832&proj=24633&ref=killscreen.com).

Many of these games can be played RIGHT NOW. And seriously, who needs Robert Redford when you have a game with a pet maggot.
