Description
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.

Have fun! Management is watching.
  • Learn to program inside a giant computer made of humans. You'll be taught everything you need to know.
  • Already an expert? Each level comes with Optimization Challenges - difficult (and optional) challenges that test how well your solution optimizes for program size and execution speed.
  • From the creators of Little Inferno and World of Goo.

I didn't understand it but it was fun

I really liked the game, I didn't understand it, in the end I didn't understand anything but I liked the story :3 and seeing how everything worked was gratifying but I couldn't do it alone

Assembly without the PTSD

Absolutely love this approach. Not only is it a great way to learn the fundamentals of assembly (without the PTSD of being forced to learn it in a computer science degree) but it's also a fantastic way to to see the outworking of formal logic for anyone studying logic in philosophy (particularly when you're trying to achieve the the speed and optimisation bonuses). I also love the quirky back story. Highly reccommended!

Needs clearer options

Really suggest a proper if/then feature. Not saying it's impossible but much harder in later levels than necessary
