This and Pit Droids have been interesting to me for a while since I love these kinds of "here are the tools available, build a solution" kind of puzzle games. The edutainment angle meant that in the past I've thought "it probably isn't as engaging to an adult" but I often hear otherwise from adults who actually played them, like how Zoombinis still often gets regarded as a solid puzzle game even by adults
I didn't play Pit Droids at the time but it's on the list now, it's definitely in their later period of younger target audience. DroidWorks is great fun for me, I thought it would have aged worse than that, and the ending is hilarious! I think it's just like movies, a good one will be made for kids but still keep the parents entertained.
A deep dive into the notoriously boring Star Trek: Starship Creator and it's sequel Warp II. Only trekkies might appreciate this one, but I ended up modding missions using the mission editor and turning it into something quite good! https://p7uen.neocities.org/posts/2023-08-25-Starship-Creator-Part-1
