Human Resource Machine for iPhone

Human Resource Machine is the Nerd's Puzzler

There is a big boom in puzzler games on mobiles these days, because this type of game is based more on content than fast-paced action (which touchscreens struggle with) and graphics (which smaller devices struggle to process). Human Resource Machine is a puzzler based around office workers, where you must program a horde of workers to solve puzzles. Can you master this tricky gameplay? 

Be the Machine

This slightly satirical game mocks the dull, machine-like life of an everyday office worker. You are in charge of a small team of workers, who must help you complete some tasks set by your boss. This is tricky gameplay as you have to master a form of basic programming to make sure your workers do things in the right order. Human Resource Machine has fantastic artwork, recreating a drab office environment, yet the interface is very sleek and simple. You'll actually learn about the basic tenets of programming as you work out how to command your workers. 

Clever and Different

What makes Human Resource Machine shine is that it feels different. This is not just solving simple puzzles or resource management, but basic programming turned into a game. For this reason, itís meant to appeal to nerds, but all people could get a kick out of this. The only downside is a high-ish price tag for a mobile game.
