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.

“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.”

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
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.
Glitch stops progress
Was loving the game to start with but I'm now very frustrated as a glitch is halting any further progress and I can find no way of reporting this to the developer other than through this review. I have got as far as Level 20, Multiplication Workshop. Regardless of the last two numbers input, the output product of these two numbers receives an error message "Bad outbox! Management expected 0 but you outboxed _". I cannot see how 0 can be expected at the outbox when neither of the last two numbers multiplied together are 0. I'm hoping for some feedback on this problem from the developers.
One of the best mobile games out there.
Human Resource Machine is an easy to learn game which teaches the player basic programming elements while challenging their problem solving skills. The game is relatively short with 36 levels and 6 cutscenes, featuring optional challenge levels with increased difficulty. Each level has two optimisation challenges for those who might find the base game too easy, or for players wanting to find the most optimal solution to every problem. The game is extremely fun and I would definitely recommend it.
