If you buy the adorable monochrome console called the "Playdate" 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/

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.

at a quick glance, it reminds me of "the farmer was replaced", if you havent seen/heard of that one

and its sequel is also worth a mention 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

I had the idea to build something like it but for traffic lights. Never got around to actually do it. I have a feeling it probably exists.

same :) Although, I wonder if building it is more fun than actually playing it then
