• Prime Mover is a new puzzle game about building circuit boards - 23 May 2018

  After two years of work, the small team at Norwegian developer 4Bit Games recently released Prime Mover , an open-ended puzzle game about building circuit boards that fulfill "a wide variety of logic and computer science-inspired problems."  Admittedly, my experience as a computer scientist amounts to tinkering with redstone in Minecraft, but nearest I can tell Prime Mover's puzzles are about inputs, outputs and the rules that connect them.

You're encouraged to rethink puzzles to come up with cleaner solutions using transformers and processors and all sorts of other doodads. Each circuit you solve brings you closer to the Byte of Burden, which has long el…

Described by Zachtronics head Zach Barth himself as a blend of Spacechem and TIS-100 . Build circuits, solve programming problems, and compare your score against the world using Zach’s thankfully-not-patented histogram scoreboards. It’s also out today on Steam . (more…)
