If bouncing in and out of the screen is your idea of fun, rather than something that would induce a migraine, then Blob could be the game for you.

You are a big blue blob, whose task is to reach the exit of each level to progress, and you do that by jumping up and down around various platforms. From that description, it may sound like a standard platform game, but the twist is that the perspective is from the top facing the blob, who is always fixed in the centre of the screen as the world moves around him. The screen flows in and out as you bounce around, and there are items to collect and enemies to avoid as you search for the exit.

A nice idea, I'm not sure I've seen many games quite like it. I must say, however, that you might not want to play too long lest your eyes get tired out from all the whooshing in and out that the entire screen does around your blobby hero. So, give it a try, but not a lengthy one.
