Unleash Human Potential in the Robotic Age: Machine Yearning

Machine Yearning: A Brain-Teasing Robot Job Simulator from Tiny Little Keys

Prepare for a mind-bending challenge unlike any other! Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, tasks you, a human, with a job typically reserved for robots. This unique title, launching September 12th, tests your cognitive abilities against a sophisticated CAPTCHA-style system.

Developed by the American studio Tiny Little Keys – founded by former Google Machine Learning Engineer Daniel Ellis – Machine Yearning pushes your memory and processing speed to their limits.

What is Machine Yearning?

In Machine Yearning, you'll apply for a robotic position, requiring you to outsmart a system designed to identify humans. The game progressively increases difficulty, starting with simple word-shape associations and escalating to complex patterns involving words and colors. Successful completion unlocks the ability to customize your robots with a variety of hats, from archer hats to cowboy hats and more.

Will You Conquer It?

Originally showcased at Ludum Dare, Machine Yearning won awards for "most fun title" and "most innovative title." For more information, visit the official website.

Available September 12th on Android, Machine Yearning is free-to-play. While it won't actually transform your brain into a supercomputer (we promise!), it's sure to provide a stimulating and entertaining experience. Check out our other gaming news for more!
