Oh baby, Zachtronics keeps on delivering. If you liked TIS-100 and SHENZHEN I/O you'll also like this.

Oh baby, never could I have hoped for another developer coming even close to Zachatronics games in scratching that engineering itch in me but this definitely did the trick. If you enjoyed TIS-100 or Shenzhen IO you will enjoy this as well.

Getting perfect scores in all of the puzzles is reasonably challenging and definitely requires you to think of alternate approaches to problems where the obvious way to solve it isn't always the way that will get you the best result.

The game also does a good job at starting you off with the basics and very simple puzzles, slowly introducing you to all the components and concepts required to solving the more difficult puzzles. As much as I loved reading the specs/manuals for TIS-100 and Shenzhen IO this definitely is a more user friendly approach.

As an engineer I will be forever grateful for the kind of games Zachatronics manage to come up with. They tickle that part of my brain that really likes to solve puzzles with clearly defined constraints, while having many possible solutions that can be rated in their quality on multiple aspects like energy effiency or cost.

I've completed the game during the Early Access phase and am now eager to get back into it to earn all of the achievements, improve my old solutions and solve anything new they have added to the game since.

When you've spent the entire day programming, this is the perfect game to kick back and relax with some more programming.
