    The past few months I've been obsessed with the game Opus Magnum on Steam. It's a Zachtronics game where you build a contraption to complete a goal, but then optimize it to make it as fast/small/cheap as possible. Optimizing for speed, in particular, is insanely addicting.

    Apparently, SpaceChem used to be on the iPad (a similar, but older, Zachtronics game), but I no longer have an iPad and I don't think the game is available anymore anyway.

    The closest thing I've found on iOS that is currently available is [the Sequence], which seems very similar to Opus Magnum and SpaceChem but is unfortunately not very open-ended so you can't make a solution and then optimize it over and over like in Zachtronics' stuff.

    Are there any other games on the AppStore that fill this very specific niche?

    Good question. I did not find anything. The Sequence 1 and 2 is obviously a must but other than these game, I don't know. Any update?
