[Every week, IndieGames.com: The Weblog co-editor Tim W. will be summing up some of the top free-to-download and commercial indie games from the last seven days on his sister 'state of indie' weblog.]
This week on 'Best Of Indie Games', we take a look at some of the top independent PC Flash/downloadable titles released over this last week.
The delights in this edition include an abstract shooter with a message, a bookmark-activated toy for your web browser, a

Game Pick: 'The Legend of the Golden Robot' (Rob Donkin, browser)
"
The Legend of the Golden Robot is a

Game Pick: 'TransmoverNG' (Polygon Gmen, browser)
