Last evening I participated in a playtest of an RPG a friend of mine (Red Rose) is making called "Dungeon Sludge", where you make weird little homunculi out of clay and then smash them when the creator-alchemist grows displeased. It sparked fond memories of playing Grape Escape as a child.

I appreciate how neatly this merges the mechanics of Mythic Bastionland with classic Rogue Trader touches like critical damage charts. It seems like you could almost run an entire campaign just inside of your own ship if you wanted, it's so massive.
