    Babylonian Twins seems like it fits the bill as a remake of a preexisting title. P1XL Party and Saucelifter as well, to an extent. Pix'n Love Rush might be worth looking into, as sort of an homage to most every retro console of old.

    Perhaps Forget-Me-Not? Think of it as somewhat like Pacman, only with shooting, power-ups and flowers instead of pellets. There are several different modes and all the levels are randomly generated. It's a rather hectic game and I die a lot, but it's tiny and cute and a load of fun.
    The developer has been considering adding a quest mode that follows the typical roguelike formula of fetching something at the bottom of a series of levels and climbing back with it in tow.
