Opus Magnum

97% 👍 OF 7.2K
About This Game

Opus Magnum is the latest open-ended puzzle game from Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem, Infinifactory, and SHENZHEN I/O. Design and build machines that assemble potions, poisons, and more using the alchemical engineer’s most advanced tool: the transmutation engine!

In this game, you can…

  • …place your inputs and outputs anywhere, then build across an effectively unlimited grid with the full toolset from the start.
  • …export your working solution as an animated GIF that loops forever and share the machine in motion.
  • …turn raw materials into stranger products by bonding, unbonding, and transforming them in long repeating chains of steps.

About This Game

Learn CPU architecture with puzzles

In this game, you can…

  • …build a working CPU starting from a single NAND gate.
  • …design your own instruction set, choose the opcodes, and write programs in your own assembly language.
  • …install a keyboard, monitor, sound, network, and a file reader that can pull bytes from your real computer into the simulated machine.

About This Game

BUILD CIRCUITS. WRITE CODE. RTFM.

In this game, you can…

  • …cram a working gadget into absurdly tight code limits, like 9 or 14 instructions, until every single word matters.
  • …build your own devices in the sandbox, including full games people recreate inside it, like in-game Tetris.
  • …wire up microcontrollers, memory, logic chips, and LCDs, then write tiny assembly programs where each instruction can run conditionally.

About This Game

Program little office workers to solve puzzles. Be a good employee! The machines are coming... for your job. From the creators of World of Goo and Little Inferno.

In this game, you can…

  • …get rewarded for triggering "wrong" computer behaviors like out-of-bounds memory access or numeric overflow and still clearing the level.
  • …create multiplication from scratch using only addition and subtraction, then reuse that homemade multiply in later puzzles.
  • …calculate memory addresses and use them to fetch and store data, instead of only manipulating the values directly.
