Browser Game Pick: Waker (Poof Games)
Waker is a puzzle platformer in which the player has to build their own platforms to reach the goal. To create a new path, you must first reach a magical orb and grab it with the action button. You can then control how the platform is to be drawn by moving the creature around the screen.
There are three worlds to explore in total, each with their own subset of levels. An abstract version of the same game called Woosh was also released together with Waker, and you can find some of the other Summer 2009 Gambit Prototypes from this page.

Game isn't my cup of tea, but the background art & music are great. I'd like this as an exploration game (like knytt with better graphics)

I like games where you have to edit the game world to finish a lvl. There is a game (i forgot the name) where you draw platforms with the mouse around coins. After that enemies are placed on your lvl randomly. I think the game was in b/w.

the concept and the art are great, but the execution is a bit lackluster. This is some of the stiffiest platforming I've ever seen. I feel more work should have been put in that before the other elements were fleshed out.
