ZACH\-LIKE is a book of behind\-the\-scenes design documents from Zachtronics\.   The digital version of ZACH\-LIKE contains the full contents of the book \(in two different PDF layouts\), a bunch of terrible games that Zach made before  SpaceChem , and some prototypes and early builds of Zachtronics games, both released and\.\.\. not\.     Read ZACH\-LIKE in its entirety, either in tablet\-friendly portrait mode or widescreen\-friendly "simulated book" mode\!    Experiment with omnivators, liquids, robots, and more in an early build of  Infinifactory  with hideous placeholder art\!    Play an early version of  Opus Magnum  where arms stack recursively, and the weird solitaire tactics minigame that was cut from it\.    Explore the lost undersea world of  Project Typhoon , the submarine\-based sandbox game we stopped making a few months into development\.    Grab three friends and four keyboards and conquer the network in  Hack the Planet , a game Zach made specifically for a party at his house\.    Enjoy\* the entire back catalogue of pre\-SpaceChem Zachtronics games, from  Gregor Mendel's Pro Botanist  to the infamous  Infiniminer \.  \*Any enjoyment other than ironic is not guaranteed\.
