Wizorb
Wizorb is an adventurous fantasy themed take on the breakout formula with RPG elements and glorious pixel art. It is without a doubt one of the best breakout games ever. After 2 years of development the developers Tribute Games created indeed an outstanding tribute to classic gameplay. Highly recommended!

Moreover here is a nice article about Delicious Block-Breaking Games by Jonathan Lavigne (one of the creators of Wizorb who also developed the action platformer Ninja Senki). The fantastic illustration above was created by Michael Brennan.
Swindler
Swindler is an arcade game in which you control a greenish creature (that hangs on a rope) indirectly by rotating the world around it. Collect green stars, avoid enemy contact, activate buttons and find the treasure chest in each level. Gameplay mechanics remind me a bit of the Taito game Cameltry / On The Ball.

Droid Assault
Droid Assault is a fast paced shooter that is inspired by the classic Paradroid.
Your mission is to destroy all robots in each level to progress to the next stage… However don’t kill all robots immediately because you cannot win the war without proper support. You need an army of robots! (the game offers 48 different ones)
So…in order to build that robotic army you have to use the convincing power of your laser beam to convert foes into friends. After that process you can control your newly acquired soldiers instantly and switch between them easily with the push of a button…
Build army, collect powerups, shoot robots. Awesome fun!
