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.

Great game if you love puzzles and logic. Upgrade requests.. -Scroll bar on programming window. -Pinch zoom on programming window. -Undo button if you accidentally move a programming element trying to scroll. -Jump to label. -3rd optimised light if size and speed achieved together. -User submitted challenges. Starts at simple programming, on to advanced concepts. Humorous back story in the coffee breaks. Interesting optimization challenges.

I'm having a great time with this game. There are several enjoyable moments - the initial successful solving of each level and then the challenge and satisfaction of optimising each solution. Would be 5 stars except for two issues which really mar the experience. First is the auto-rotate feature which kicks in at inconvenient moments. Second is that you can't mute the game sound effects so you have to listen to the noisy background effects over whatever else you'd rather listen to.

5/5 if not for the screen rotation bug. Screen auto-rotation is too sensitive and activates too often, flipping the screen upside-down. Also, there is no setting to turn off music and SFX. A game to teach programming, so it's heavily based in math and logic. Even if you have programming experience, it's still fun to play but will not be as challenging. However, trying to solve the optional optimization challenges (for size and speed) makes it more interesting. You can't backup your progress (I think), so it makes this more re-playable for me.
