I think Super Panda Adventures is a real hidden gem when it comes to Metroidvanias (Trailer).
It's rather short at 5-10 hours of gameplay and the graphics aren't that great, but it is dirt cheap (3$ regular price, less than 1$ during sales) and the gameplay, tight controls, level design and boss battles are surprisingly good.
Unfortunately it is not available on GOG (Wishlist entry here).
The game used to be available DRM-free from Desura and in a Groupees bundle ages ago. Now it seems like it is only sold on Steam (Super Panda Adventures on Steam). It is playable without the Steam client once installed.
edit: Checked that game is indeed playable without Steam client (so basically DRM-free) and added link to trailer on Youtube.
