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.

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!

If programming appeals to you even a little bit, you will like this game. It does not involve learning a long list of instructions - the challenge is accomplishing a task with limited commands. It starts very simple, but by the end you will complete tasks you would think are impossible, and the satisfaction gained from that is unparalleled. Got quickly addicted and completed in 2 days. Enough content for price, but for my love of the game, I wish it were longer. Thanks for increasing my IQ!

Excellent game. Wish there is a full portrait mode, and also save the music on/off settings which hopefully should be just a copyto/copyfrom musicsettings... And, where are the saved game data? Need to move to a new phone. Update: managed to move save games by copying all the internal data files, but perhaps there should be an official way to transfer save games between phones.
