I recently got a small Wacom Bamboo tablet, a mere 4 by 6 inches, but quite fun to use. I wanted to try some of my indie games with it, but quickly became hungry for more. I'd like to know what indie games you've played use the mouse (well, now tablet) and maybe a few other controls. Here are some I already know of and tried...

Chalk (fun, but personally, quite unforgiving in difficulty. Easier with tablet)
Crayon Physics Deluxe (Full version quite worth it!)

Yeah, that's all I've got. Others?

You can play Aquaria with a tablet, but it's a little tricky because it requires both buttons.

tablets work well in slower-paced mouse-driven strategy games in general

If you don't mind reaching for a mouse during the platforming, Mightier's in-game drawing should work pretty well with a tablet.

Yeah, mouse games, escape the room games, etc. All work nice with the mouse. Some of the mouse games I played (albeit, with a mouse) weren't exactly slow paced, but were well suited for play with a tablet.

I'd only really think a game that requires the scroll wheel / frequent mouse clicks would be a problem for tablet. Those and FPS games and the like that rely on the relativeness of the mouse, of course.
