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.

I would love to give this five stars, really. It's a fantastic game, but there are no settings. Screen rotation is automatically set to "on" and playing at even the slightest angle will tilt the screen to portrait mode, where it is unplayable, making the entire game kind of unplayable. Cannot turn off the music without turning off your phone volume. Cannot make text bigger or higher contrast. These issues alone are making me uninstall, at least from my phone.

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!

Watch out, this game is sneakily trying to teach you how to code! My only complaint is that you can't fix the device landscape mode, so if I wiggle the phone on accident, it tries to shift to portrait.
