Leave a Review Homo Machina
Wonderfully whimsical but incredibly brief experience
First of all, the dialogue, ,artwork, and sound is fantastic. That being said I felt that the game lacked a certain substance. First of all, the storytelling and gameplay is very railroady, or to put it into other words there is very little freedom in the game. The gameplay constrains the player to follow thru with a singular solution. Now this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However the puzzles are not challenging enough for this and paired with the extreme brevity of the game, (I finished the game in half an hour), it ends up feeling like so much has been missed.
I’d rather pay more money for something more substantive than pay any money for gameplay this brief and constraining.
Not saying this game doesn’t deserve money, as it obviously took a good amount of work to create. But maybe for your next project if you can create something that solves the story and gameplay issues raised (railroady and short) while maintaining the charming quality of the art you guys may have a winner.Show lessfat finger ju
Delightful!!!
What a delightful hour I just spent on this game. Considering it was designed à la Fritz Kahn, I was not surprisingly reminded very much of the film “Metropolis” at the beginning. The dialogue was charming and witty. The mechanics of the body were enjoyably complex. Just when I was getting the hang of it, though, it was over, hence the missing star. I want more!Show lessArtymel
Great concept, very well executed, just one thing...
This game is stylishly designed, engrossing, and based around a very cool concept. I had a lot of fun playing it, and just when I felt it was just getting started, and I was comfortably in the rhythm of the games mechanics, then it was over!
I really do feel like this has potential to go many more places, and I would gladly stick around for the ride!
I hate giving only 4 stars, but they are definitely to cover the experience, just couldn’t justify the 5th with it being so short-lived.
That said, thank you devs for running with such an interesting take on the inner workings of the human body, I am going to be analyzing everything I do from now on wondering what the little people keeping me functional are up to.! 😊Show lessPoGoSabi
Enjoyable but short.
It was fun but I agree with some of the other reviewers. Would've been nice if the gameplay lasted longer. However, since I had fun playing it I'm still giving 5 stars. It was worth the $2.99 that I paid for it.youreyella
Homo machina
I loved the idea of this game and the look of it far more than I actually enjoyed playing it. I was disappointed with the slow pace the game moves at and found myself left bored and unchallenged. I also was off put by the fact that ALL the workers seem to be portrayed as white men AND the only woman we see is in the beginning and she is serving a man. All in all, great concept but boring play.Show lessconscslght
Great Game, but a little short..
It’s totally worth the price for the entertainment of it alone. My only opinion was that the game seemed to be shorter than I expected.
Not that it should be endless but a few more body functions would have been cool
Buy this game anyway cause it was very well put together and these guys worked hard on it. You can tell just from the opening credits.Show lesspmsquillace

Hello, Thank you very much to be grateful for the hard work behind all of these animations! All the best!Stuck on ONE SPOT for hours now
This is a beautiful game, fun to play, the art is lovely and the gameplay is a fun mix of serious and silly.
One problem- I am COMPLETELY STUCK ON THE RADIO WAVES. I’ve been fiddling with them off and on for about two hours now, even had a couple other people give it a whack, and no one can fiddle the fiddly bits the right way to play the song!

Hello Shaydays, This video could maybe help you to solve the problem: https://youtu.be/m-vIblyqYPY?t=1384. You have two main actions to do: 01/ Turn the tapes to adjust the wave form 02/ Align the signals! We hope you will enjoy our game now, have a nice day!Unique, but far too short.
All the reviews agree, it’s a very fun, cute, unique game, but it is WAY too short for the price. It ends at a point that feels like there’s another 3/4 left to go, very abrupt ending and you only interact with a fraction of the body. When the credits rolled I honestly thought it was just another unique aspect of the game and we’d jump back into the story and body puzzles. Disappointing.Show lessMirv98
Decent but short
Good creative and original game... but quite short. Not much more than an hour or so, not sure it is worth more than $0.99. The puzzles are too easy, and lack of directions lead to a lot of clicking around aimlessly. Not bad if you have the $$$ and are bored. Low replayability.Dr cutler
A good educational game
A nice artistic approach at teaching how the body works . I certainly would recommend it for anyone who appreciates the human body and it's inner workings. It's odd and light-hearted but educational at the same time. I wish there was a bitore to it and hopefully there's some additional content to be added in the future. It's worth the money in my opinion .Show lessRaz23456
