What’re your favorite single screen puzzle games? I just beat Kickle Cubicle and Fire ‘n Ice last week and I’ve started on Catrap. These are surprisingly addictive

Catrap, aka Pitman

It's much more puzzle than platformer, but Catrap on Game Boy has you switching between two characters in the later levels.

I've played these ones, they're great.
I'd also like to recommend Catrap, aka Pitman. It's played from a side view, as opposed to the top down view most of these games have, but it's definitely the same type of game.

I seem to remember the fella who made Chip's Challenge making some sort of spiritual successor called Chuck's Challenge or something like that within the past few years. No clue if it's any good.

Protip: You can play any NES or GB/GBC (or anything else that only needs two or fewer buttons) game one-handed with a modern controller in an emulator. Set L1/L2 (or LB/LT, etc) as A/B.
Shit, I just realized you said it's your LEFT arm that's broken. Well, you could still make do with the face buttons as a d-pad, or the right analog stick if you don't mind that.
Besides that trick, I recommend Catrap, as well as Kwirk and its sequel Amazing Tater, on Game Boy. They're all puzzle games that mainly use the d-pad, with A/B only used for undoing moves. Those games have no real "action", and only move when you do, so they're easy to play no matter how crippled you are. The challenge is in finding the puzzle solutions.
