Kohctpyktop
Engineer of the People
In KOHCTPYKTOP: Engineer of the People, you play as an engineer working in a semiconductor factory designing integrated circuits based on specifications provided to you. What does it have to do with communism? You’ll have to play to find out!
A few notes about the game:
- This game is actually quite difficult; while you don’t need to know anything about electronics to play, being familiar with some of the concepts will definitely help in the later levels, as most of them are based around real-life circuits. Wikipedia is your friend.
- The music playing is tracks one and five from CŒDES Pierre-Marie’s SYMPHONIE N°2 available on jamendo.com.

There is definately a lot to find out about this subject.
I love all of the points you have made.
Many thanks for the great game! Just one question: could you please make controls more user-friendly and convinient?
For example (number is the key on keyboard and respective icon to the right):
1: silicon n
2: silicon p
3: metal
4: via
5: select
Holding shift on 1-4 modes deletes respective items.
Also, 1-3 have checkboxes near them to display/hide these layers.
And final question: could you please make native clients for windows and/or android?
