Perspectite

Throw everything that you know about depth out the window, because it's time for Perspectite. Luke Brown's browser based title is very creative and minimalistic at the same time. By using the arrow keys, players have to move your perspecticite to the hidden exit of each stage. The music is also minimalistic, with slight changes to a basic drumbeat. Although this game is relatively short, it has an interesting concept that I would love to see expanded upon.

Pixeloids4k

Pixeloids4k is a puzzle game developed by Morre, and created for this year's Java4k contest. The game shows off some minimalistic graphics, with the gameplay being relatively innovative. While starting the game, you are presented with a pile of goo, and a target built of dotted lines. Your goal is to click the mouse to push 95 percent of the pixelated goo into the target zone, and keep it in place for five seconds. After levels progress the game gets increasingly difficult to master. For a game with a maximum size of 4KB, Pixeloids4k is a challenging, and very solid puzzle game.

Sea of Soil

A maze game at it's heart, Theta Games' Sea of Soil is very innovative by the way that you play/create levels. Since each level is simply an image, there are numerous possibilities in making levels. Although, for the stages to work, you must follow certain color patterns: Walls are 100% Black, Gold must be completely Yellow, etc. Some exceptions in the color scheme are allowed, but to truly see what I mean, before you create a level, I insist that you look in the levels folder. Other than that, Sea of Soil is a very great game, whether you have a lot of creativity or not.
