Prepare your brain for a challenge unlike any other! Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, tasks you with a job usually reserved for robots. Can you prove your human superiority in a world dominated by machines?
Tiny Little Keys, an American studio founded by former Google Machine Learning Engineer Daniel Ellis, is bringing this unique experience to mobile devices. Machine Yearning launches September 12th.
What is Machine Yearning?
This isn't your average mobile game. You'll apply for a robot job, facing a CAPTCHA-style test designed to separate humans from bots. Get ready to put your memory and processing speed to the test – think 2005-era computing power!
The game starts with simple word-shape associations, steadily increasing in difficulty as you progress. Master the ever-increasing complexity of words and colors to unlock your reward: a wide array of hats to dress up your robotic coworkers! Archer hats, cowboy hats, straw hats – the possibilities are endless!
