Tiny, fast, and quirky small games. Micro games are often more challenging for the maker than the player. I typically spend 2-6 hours making each game, and you can often spot copy/paste elements from other games. The most important thing is to finish the game projects! No one cares about your MMORPG that you'll never publish.
