The Apothecary of Trubiz - cure the townsfolk's ailments, but your book of potions is written in a fictional language that needs deciphering. Cool mix of Strange Horticulture and language deciphering puzzles.

Sisyphus is a Bug - a very condensed metroidbrainia experience. Learn platforming tech to roll your ball of dung up a hill within 60 seconds. Lots of great discoveries. The second level was maybe a little too fiddly.

Here's a few great, short puzzle games I've played recently!

Starting with nuworm, a sokoban game where you're an eyeball that can jump between tube-like blocks... Will make more sense if you play it! Excellent puzzles.

YouTube is now AI generating suggestions for what my next video should be.

Yes, sure, I'll do a playthrough of your imaginary puzzle game.

(I actually have a fun new series starting tomorrow!)
"Ideas for your next video", followed by 3 suggested video ideas. The first is "Blue Prince - Part 51: Unseen Connections". The second is "Blue Prince - Part 49: Whispers in the Wind". The third is "Blue and Pink: A Shapeshifting Puzzle". It's all gibberish.

"And now for my next trick: walking on water!"
Three cygnets in the water are looking at their sibling who appears to be standing on the surface of the water.

4 cygnets! It feels extra special because I stopped some kids from attempting to scare the female away while she was nesting a few weeks ago.
Four cygnets lined up alongside one of the parents on a loch. Four cygnets swimming in a line with one parent at the front and one at the back. A cygnet stretching upwards from the water and flapping its tiny wings. While the parent swan has its head underwater foraging for food, a cygnet rides comfortably on its back, with three other cygnets in the water.

Words of wisdom in this auto-generated transcript.

Met my friends' new cats for the first time and within seconds one of them was on my shoulders.
Me, hunched over a little, with an orange and white cat casually lying across my shoulders.
