Machine Yearning: A Brain-Bending Robot Job for Humans
This isn't your average human job; it's a mind-bending challenge from Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning. Step into the robotic world and prove your human superiority by outsmarting a robot-designed captcha system. Developed by Daniel Ellis, a former Google Machine Learning Engineer, Machine Yearning launches September 12th.
What is Machine Yearning?
Machine Yearning throws you into a job typically reserved for robots. As a human, you must outwit a captcha designed to identify those attempting to trick it. The game pushes your memory and processing speed to their limits, aiming for at least 2005-level performance.
Gameplay starts by associating words with shapes. The difficulty escalates as you progress, introducing more words, colors, and increased complexity, requiring you to retain those initial associations.
The reward for mastering this challenge? Customizing your robots with a variety of hats – archers' hats, cowboy hats, straw hats, and more! See it in action:
