Games like Engineer Alpha

Loved how relaxing and replayable Engineer Alpha can get? These games could fill that gap nicely. Many of them are fun to share with friends.

AutoForge
A 2D automation sandbox where the factory runs on Mana and the factory worker is a golem. Build production lines, farm, tame monsters, dig for ore and unlock the world region by region, all while a very persistent defense system tries to take your resources back. Thoughtful building, gentle pixel art, and a mystery about your missing masters.
