Programming a farming drone with a hat in The Farmer Was Replaced!
Coding farming drones with Python! (The Farmer Was Replaced)
We added The Farmer Was Replaced to the Thinky Games database a while back, and I was really surprised by how much traffic we got to that page. Turns out, the game kinda blew up and lots of people were playing it! So I had to check it out myself. Since I do a lot of programming in the rest of my lif

We were hit by a strange issue that made it impossible to nominate Öoo for the Steam Awards… it was pretty disheartening 😢
But it looks like the problem has finally been fixed!

Players continue to be obsessed with making puzzles that take as many moves as possible. At least I convinced them to try it on smaller levels, so here's a 39-move 2x2 puzzle.
One downside is that now they can rely on the solver to compute the number of moves instead of a mathematical argument.

This first-person puzzler has an aesthetic similar to Sensorium and puzzle panels that help you traverse its world!
An unusual first-person puzzler where the puzzle panels move the world (Rhombus)
Puzzle panels in a first-person world are always going to pique my interest! This one is even aesthetically similar to Sensorium, which was also a very cool game. However, Rhombus has quite an unusual and intriguing mechanic - you simply spin rhombi/cubes/hexagons (however you want to view it) which
