I think the only Zachtronics game to have a console release was Infinifactory on PS4. (And Hack*Match on NES, technically.)

Agreed with the sibling comment that Opus Magnum seems like it'd be a good fit. But the economics of a port may not make sense. Infinifactory was Unity, while Opus Magnum and most (all?) of the other 2D games use a custom engine.

It's not a "Zach-Like", but Eliza by Zachtronics is on the Switch. It's a visual novel with an interesting story about AI and the gig economy. I recommend it highly, I really enjoyed it.

SpaceChem used to be on iOS - was nice to play on the iPad, but the maintenance effort was apparently too much to keep it on there and running.

Zachtronics stopping game production is a painful loss.

I loved playing Space Chem on the iPad, Opus Magnum would have been awesome if it ever made it.

But the iOS store is much harder to just “fire and forget” on.
