Indoo.
There are some flaws in the game. The lack of variety in ship and weapon designs is frustrating, as is the fact that you can actually achieve more with the basic ship than with any of the others. The perma-death situation is a nice touch, but it needs to be an option rather than the norm (although you can exploit it by backing up your continue.sav file). I saw a very well thought out comment on the game by a user on Steam that explains what is lacking with FTL very well.
But inspite of all this, it's immensely fun to play
