Don’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry at the guy who designed such awesome programming puzzles finding out that typical pupils will never learn that way.

He did an interview with a podcast where he talks about it. It sounds him quitting was much more a matter how lovely the school system is than anything like that.

That whole interview is great honestly.

I've been checking out Neon Noodles, and I'm enjoying it. Cribs a lot of stuff from Zachtronics games.

I was concerned at first when it seemed like you couldn't save multiple solutions, but it does allow for that once you get past the "tutorial" levels.

None of my Zach-likes goons appear to have scores to compare to, feel free to add me (not a hyperlink so no bots scrape me up): https://steamcommunity.com/id/ + NickPancakes

Some other recent-ish non-Zachtronics Zach-likes that might interest folks:

Infinite Turtles - I played the first big and haven't gone back yet but it seems like it gets pretty insane.

Manufactoria 2022 - Remake of an older browser game that I loved. Kinda like a 2D Infinifactory, where your main constraint is space.
