REVIEWS:
“Amidst the trend of instant gratification that the internet and gaming as a whole has perpetuated, having a game that both excels in its puzzles and also challenges your wider perception of it is commendable, and makes Human Resource Machine exponentially essential.”
- Touch Arcade 5/5

Editors' Notes
Being able to write computer code is a supremely useful talent, but learning the basics can be a tough, tedious slog. Human Resource Machine wraps computer logic fundamentals inside a wonderful, whimsical puzzle game, full of cartoon conveyer belts and demanding managers. It’s so much fun you might not realise how much knowledge you’re soaking up.
Brilliant
Inside your computer/ipad/iphone is a Central Processing Unit. The closest thing your computer has to a brain. This game is cleverly teaching you some of the basic skills you need to program the CPU directly but doing it in a very clever and fun way.
That probably makes it sound scary but it's actually quite fun. Try this. Play this game for a while then Google "assembly language programming" and read about what that is. You'll probably realise you've actually been developing many of the skills you need to learn it.
Witty and funny, and very geeky.
This clever game presents the basics of computer coding in the form of logic and maths puzzles, with a dash of humour to make the learning process fun. Even if you're new to programming, the essential skills are clearly presented and easy to pick up... but playing through the whole game is another matter. There are fewer than 40 puzzles in total, but the more complex they become, the more thought they require and the longer they take to solve. This means you get many hours of entertainment, boosted by the added challenge of trying to improve your puzzle solutions to meet the size and run-time goals.
For me, Human Resource Machine offered loads of enjoyment and satisfaction, and I found myself feeling aglow with pride each time I solved a difficult puzzle. However, it is pitched at a niche market, and not everyone will find it so worthwhile. This game is fantastic for logic buffs and computer geeks - but it is likely to overwhelm anyone else.
