## What is Hello Human?

Can you outsmart an AI that’s watching how you play?

Hello Human is a minimalist puzzle game where you’re guided — and challenged — by a mischievous AI named Tapsy.

Each level seems simple at first: interact with the tiles and figure out what to do. But as you progress, the rules begin to change… and Tapsy is always there, reacting to your actions.

What starts as a series of puzzles quickly becomes something more — a back-and-forth between you and an AI that learns, taunts, and occasionally helps.

Features:
- Simple mechanics with evolving rules
- A reactive AI character with personality
- Short, clever puzzles that twist expectations
- A minimalist, distraction-free design

Think you can figure it out?

### 5/5 — Good human…

*2026-03-11, version 0.3*

I’ve enjoyed playing this quirky little game!

### 5/5 — Not working on iPhone 17 Pro

*2026-03-01, version 0.3*

Black screen on start

### 5/5 — Just Great

*2024-04-11, version 0.3*

Anyone who gives this game a bad review is dumb... Or maybe they're smarter than me... I don't know... all I know is I love cheese and this game.  Didn't even think about my girlfriend on that one.  Top three things I love are cheese, this game, and can I please have more cheese please, I have more of this game to play.

I kid, I kid... but not about this game... NEVER about this game.

OK, g'night

### 1/5 — Ahhh … where are the instructions?

*2023-07-29, version 0.3*

Haven’t a clue as to how to play this. Human stumped.

### 4/5 — Hello human

*2023-07-29, version 0.3*

Hello human is a great game and makes you think quite a bit, although I think there should be more levels. This is because I downloaded it and two days later I completed all the levels. Other than that this is a great game especially if you want a bit of a challenge.

### 5/5 — Do not trust Tapsy…

*2023-07-29, version 0.3*

Hey there, Russell! I just finished playing this, and WOW was that fun! For those who are on the fence about playing it, just do it already! It’s great fun, and the story that slowly unfolds as it progresses is quite interesting! Just remember one thing: DON’T TRUST HIM.

### 1/5 — Cute but not a long term game

*2023-07-27, version 0.3*

With little to no instruction, you have to figure out your own way forward. Fun at first but becomes tiresome. I guess this isn’t my kind of game.

### 5/5 — Fun and Interesting

*2023-02-05, version 0.3*

This is a great game. The interface and level design are very simple and easy to play. It’s nice that the game continually changes how to approach each level so you need to consider different methods throughout the game. I hope there are sequels and more similar games from this developer.

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2021-05-22, version 0.3*

I really enjoyed this. I thought the levels were interesting & I enjoyed interacting with grumpy/lovely Bot!

### 5/5 — made me human

*2020-12-24, version 0.3*

I’m not the type of creature to laugh, reallymore of a chuckler AT MOST... but, dang, this game got a hardy hehe outta me.
