Finished Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from Simogo - really amazing game. Surprisingly complex lateral thinking puzzles, super weird vibe, great writing that slowly pieces together like a puzzle in its own right.

I made a game for the GMTK jam, called Slime Stretch: https://draknek.itch.io/slime-stretch
I'll likely be making a post-jam version with some improvements, but I'm very happy with what's there! It contains some of my most Bonfire-Peaks-esque puzzle design since Bonfire Peaks.
