Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

A free student game called "Nitronic Rush", and then "Distance" when the devs were able to expand it into a bigger game
Basically you drive a car with rockets and shit all around it (and also it can jump and fly, because of course it can), so you can boost yourself forward but also control your pitch and roll and stuff and press yourself down as well, and you have to race on tracks filled with buzzsaws, lasers, etc. while also using those rockets to flip your car around and jump to roads that are sideways or upside-down. It takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of it it feels so good to be dodging obstacles and doing what feels like a cross between car parkour and air acrobatics
...I still have such fond memories of practicing the hardest tracks of Nitronic Rush over and over until I knew every twist and turn by heart, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it, or Distance for that matter
