GuwangeRugaDaioujou XII: Kizuna Down (v0.99 is the last know version before it got C&D by Cave if I recall correctly),

-EDITED-It's been a while since I (or anyone) posted here, so let's get crackin'.
First up is a bit of old news, but
Cry of Fear is officially freeware on Steam. No need to buy Half-Life 1 and mod the game anymore, just download and play (if your PC can handle Half-Life 1 to begin with).
And since Christmas is six months away, let's hop in with a bit of ass-kicking holiday cheer!

Now changing gears, Iji is a 2D action-adventure game that puts you in the role of the game's titular heroine as she finds her trapped within a complex being taken over by alien invaders known as the Tasen. Some consider this as "the 2D System Shock" as the game feature RPG elements that lets you decide how you want to develop Iji's skills and abilities, such as hacking, weapon proficiency, and your overall strength. There is also a moral aspect that comes into play that can impacts the story, whether if you decide to take down the Tasen in cold blood, or take the pacifist approach and work something out without resorting to violence.

Slayin'
Developer: Pixel Licker Games
Version: v1.144
Genre: Arcade
Content: Mild Fantasy Violence
This is a simple score-attack game where you can play as a Knight, Mage, or Knave (I'm guessing "Thief") where you can fight off hoards of enemies, dodge the their attacks, and take down the boss at the end of each level. Along the way, you collect gold that can be used to purchase weapons, armor, and upgrades to your abilities.
Download Slayin' (there is also an arena shooter called Pumpkin Patch available at the link; Knightly is still a work-in-progress)
AlterEgo
Release date: December 11th, 2011 (Ver.1.0)
Developer: Retro Souls
Version: v1.0 (PC)
Genre: Puzzle-platformer
This a puzzle-platformer where you must collect the items scattered through the levels and avoid enemies. However, the twist here is that you control a character who can swap out with his phantom double that mirrors your every move and there's a limited number of times you can do this, depending on the level. The download also has a NES and ZX-Spectrum version included if you use emulators, but if you just want the PC version, there's a mirror below for that. The PC version is also based on the Windows Phone 7 build of the game.

Developer: NonLinear
Version: v1.01 (-Leiria-) / v1.12 (-Stargazer-)
Genre: Shoot 'em Up, Bullet Hell
Content: Mild Violence
Here are two CAVE-esque shooters that were once retail doujin games that have became officially freeware (I wish more doujin developers do this when their old games if it's not being sold anywhere); Leiria plays sorta like
as there is a proximity-based scoring system involved whereas Stargazer -- a remake of The Chaste Full-metal Maiden -Leiria- -- plays more akin to
.
