The Level Up and Learn Programming Games Humble Bundle contains Learning Factory, a cute education-oriented factory game. We have played this one minimally, but it looks interested and like a potential great gateway factory game for younger players. The description from the developer’s website is:
Learning Factory is relaxing factory building game about the most important thing – making Cats happy. Optimize and automate production chains. Sell crafted items to cats and improve service with Machine Learning. Rebuild the ancient Monument to establish Catopia on Mars.
The game is backed up with real Machine Learning, links to handpicked educational videos, and an in-game wiki to be used as learning material.
This bundle also contains some other interesting programming games – Shenzen I/O, EXAPUNKS, TIS-100, while True: learn(), 7 Billion Humans, and Human Resources Machine. For a minimum of $10, this is a great deal if you’re interested in even one of those games.
