Lasers and Feelings is so rule-light the rules document is actually a single page. I played it once and had a blast with my character, who I named Beef McLargeHuge and who got into some weird situations, and mostly solved problems by seducing ~~whoever~~ whatever was convenient.
I can't visit that page, seems like their SSL certificate is dead?

Ah I'm an idiot, my browser warned me for the http-only page, that was all
I just read it, that looks like a lot of fun to do a one-shot in!
It's my go to system for a quick one shot to introduce people to ttrpgs. Always fun, crazy, and simple to learn. And minimal work for the DM so long as you're willing to bounce off whatever your players come up with.
I've run some one shots for more experienced players that have been really memorable and full of creative play, too. The simple mechanics don't hold it back. It excels when you're willing to "yes, and" pretty much everything.
