If you're not familiar with Edmund McMillen's work, play Gish and Meat Boy. Once you're finished with those (in, let's say, a week) you may find Time Fcuk, McMillen's most recent game, worth your time.
It's the story of a man whose future self implores him to climb into a cardboard box, whereupon he can travel between two temporal dimensions and has to deal with a sentient boil growing on his back.
You know, the usual.
It's much more hardware-friendly than McMillen's other recent games, and, at least at the start, much more entertaining. I had to stop about 4/5 of the way through out of complete confusion and frustration (this post's header image wasn't chosen arbitrarily), but it's worth a look nonetheless.

I really enjoyed what I played of it, but I just could not get it to go past the 7th level or so.
SPOILER:
Ant, solved the puzzle you were stuck on. Remember that that static block under the floor there works just like the ones you can push- it stays on a single version of the map, unless you're touching it, wherein it moves with you. Use the movable blocks to break out the blue walls around you a bit to create some moving room, then switch that static block to the version of the map you don't start on.
When you go back to the original version, you can drop though the "Hole" this creates between the top layer of the puzzle, and the middle. After that just funnel blocks one at a time through the portals to the bottom chamber and pile them up underneath the exit teleport until you can jump up to it and switch in midair, giving you access to the exit.
