Pass the Captcha Test and land your dream job

Machine Yearning lets you apply for a job that's made for robots (even though you're clearly human, right?)
  • Connect shapes and numbers to pass the test
  • Challenge your memory and prove you're not human
  • Coming to iOS and Android on September 12th

Tiny Little Keys has announced the upcoming launch of Machine Yearning, an adorable puzzler that tasks you with landing a job for robots - the only catch is that you're an actual human being, so it's up to you to find a way to pass the Captcha Test and prove your inhumanity. Coming to iOS and Android on September 12th, the Ludum Dare winner challenges you to link words and shapes together with increasing difficulty. Is your mere human brain up to the task?

In Machine Yearning, you can look forward to defining and verifying words and shapes to create your own language. The thing is, levels get progressively more difficult as you go along, with colours coming into play the more complicated the shapes get.

Only a true robot can pass the test - but surely you've got the chops to take on the challenge, right?

Test your memory and unlock power-ups to switch up the gameplay. The puzzler lets you pit your own skills against other applicants in the robot job market as well - it even claims to "update human brains to at least a 2005-era memory and processing speed." Plus, you can put hats on robots (archer hats, cowboy hats, straw hats - you name it), because why not?

If all that sounds like it's exactly your cup of tea, why not take a look at our list of the best puzzle games on Android to get your fill?
