Machine Yearning: A Brain-Teasing Robot Job Simulator

Prepare for a mind-bending challenge unlike any other! Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, throws you into a world dominated by robots, tasking you with a job usually reserved for machines. Can you prove your human skills are superior?

Developed by the American studio Tiny Little Keys – founded by Daniel Ellis, a former Google Machine Learning Engineer and avid gamer – Machine Yearning launches September 12th.

What is Machine Yearning?

In this unique game, you'll apply for a job that tests your ability to outsmart a CAPTCHA system designed to weed out humans. Get ready to put your memory and processing speed to the test – the game aims to challenge you to 2005-era levels of cognitive performance!

You'll begin by associating words with shapes. As you progress, the difficulty increases, introducing more words, colors, and complex relationships to remember.

Master the challenges, and you'll unlock the ability to customize your robotic workforce with a variety of hats – from archer hats and cowboy hats to straw hats and more! See the game in action:

Will You Take the Challenge?

Originally showcased at Ludum Dare, a renowned indie game jam, Machine Yearning won awards for "Most Fun" and "Most Innovative." Learn more on the game's official website.

Available September 12th on Android, Machine Yearning is free to play. While it might not actually transform your brain into a supercomputer (we're kidding!), it's sure to provide a fun and engaging challenge. Don't forget to check out our other gaming news!
