One of the joys of doing this list is finding so many games that are hard to categorise and do something unique, so here we go again with Spindizzy Worlds.
You are in control of a spinning device, which cannot jump or perform any neat tricks. You can simply move around, with the fire button giving you extra speed, and your task is to collect fuel for the device, step on switches to progress, and eventually find the exit to move on to the next level. The control of your device is quite slippery and takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, the game is quite an unusual yet engaging and relaxing experience.
It's very fiddly to control at first, but it's otherwise easy to get into, and it's certainly worth the patience required, as there aren't many games like it, with Marble Madness being the closest thing I can think of. There are lots of levels to get through, so have a go and see if it takes your fancy.
