      and its sequel is also worth a mention https://store.steampowered.com/app/792100/7_Billion_Humans/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/792100/7_Billion_Humans/ but imo, unlike farmer, these games reaaaaly lack the ability to make functions/subroutines manually doing all the goto loops becomes tiring

If you buy the adorable monochrome console called the "Playdate" https://play.date https://play.date it comes with a bunch of games included, including a cute elevator game where you help penguins to different floors while controlling the elevators yourself using the crank: https://play.date/games/flipper-lifter/ https://play.date/games/flipper-lifter/

  That's the guy who created Infiniminer, which was essentially 3D multiplayer Motherlode (a game everyone was playing at school lunch and I never figured out why) and inspired Minecraft.
