Humans vs. Robots: Machine Yearning

Prepare for a mind-bending challenge unlike any other! Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, throws you into a world where humans tackle the jobs usually reserved for robots. Prove your mettle as the ultimate human in a robotic world.

Tiny Little Keys, an American studio founded by ex-Google Machine Learning Engineer and lifelong gamer Daniel Ellis, is crafting truly unique gaming experiences. Machine Yearning launches September 12th.

What Exactly Is Machine Yearning?

In Machine Yearning, you apply for a job designed to stump even the most advanced robots. As a human, you must outsmart a CAPTCHA system designed to weed out imposters. The game aims to push your brain to its limits, testing your memory and processing speed—think 2005-era tech!

You'll begin by linking words to shapes. As you progress, the challenge intensifies, requiring you to remember these links while the game introduces more words and colors, exponentially increasing the complexity.

Master the game, and you'll unlock the ability to customize your robots with an array of whimsical hats: archer hats, cowboy hats, straw hats—the possibilities are endless! Check out the game in action below:

Will You Snag It?

Originally showcased at Ludum Dare, a renowned indie game jam, Machine Yearning swept the awards, taking home top honors for "Most Fun Title" and "Most Innovative Title." For more information, visit the official website.

Launching September 12th on Android, Machine Yearning is free-to-play. While it might not actually transform your brain into a supercomputer (we're kidding… mostly!), it's sure to provide a unique and challenging experience.
