About this game

**Winner of Excellence in Innovation by the International Mobile Gaming Awards**

Program little office workers to solve puzzles. Be a good employee! The machines are coming... for your job.

Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game for nerds. In each level, your boss gives you a job. Automate it by programming your little office worker. If you succeed, you'll be promoted up to the next level for another year of work in the vast office building. Congratulations!

Don't worry if you've never programmed before - programming is just puzzle solving. If you strip away all the 1's and 0's and scary squiggly brackets, programming is simple, logical, beautiful, and something that anyone can understand and have fun with! Are you already an expert? There will be extra challenges for you.

From the creators of World of Goo and Little Inferno. Have fun! Management is watching.

Fun game, but not being able to save and load formats from previous completed levels is a hassle. Was disappointed that there's no multiplication or indirect if/then functions, which makes loading previous formats feel even more tedious. Love the art style and atmosphere.

Can we get some volume and rotation control settings? I know there's a button to turn off the music, but it doesn't affect the other sound effects. And the screen rotation is entirely too sensitive; it flickers between vertical and horizontal at the slightly tilting and is unaffected by the system Auto Rotate button. Additionally, the button to exit a level and return to level select is in a weird spot and I keep accidentally brushing it. I am enjoying the game despite current frustrations.

This is a delightful and addictive game that I already had on PC. Unfortunately, on the mobile version, the tiles are tiny and difficult to read. Also, the size & speed optimization challenges (which account for 90% of the gameplay) are harder to find in this version. Make sure you talk to the boss to see them - without them the biggest challenge is reading the tiny tiles!
