This year's Paper Direct had a bunch of good fits for this list: https://backloggd.com/u/Game_Event_Lists/list/11-june-2024---paper-direct-6112024/

Also Rain on Your Parade and RPG Time: The Legend of Wright!

I think Lumino City should fit.
If claymation counts there's The Neverhood and Kirby Rainbow Curse.

Paperball, Crayon Physics Deluxe, and Papetura should work.

Also, the prequel of Lumino City, Lume, should fit right in.

Beastieball fits if you've seen it in motion
