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

Zachtronics is back with an ambitious new design-based puzzle game. Take on the role of a Reactor Engineer working for SpaceChem, the leading chemical synthesizer for frontier colonies. Construct elaborate factories to transform raw materials into valuable chemical products!

In this game, you can…

  • …connect multiple reactors so one puzzle becomes an entire production chain with pipes feeding outputs into the next step.
  • …pack a full solution into a tiny reactor by shaving parts, rerouting, and ending on a precise manual switch sequence.
  • …use flip-flops and timing rules to build counters and branching behavior that makes your reactor act like a program.

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

TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!

In this game, you can…

  • …print out a real reference manual, then use it to solve the menu that turns out to be the first puzzle.
  • …split one problem across 12 nodes running at once, coordinating them until the outputs line up in the right order.
  • …build your own games inside the machine using a visual console sandbox after you repair enough corrupted segments.
