The same program is used to control all humans simultaneously, but allowing each human to follow its individual logic through the project based on their current state, such as moving left or right based on comparing the value of the data cube they are holding. The programming language is similar to assembly language, allowing for simple loops, logic, memory storage and calculations. For example, a task might ask the player to program the humans to sort the numbers on data cubes in order.

Similar to Human Resource Machine, players are tasked with over 60 programming puzzles, typically involving the movement of numerical data cubes by human workers. Designed as a sequel to Human Resource Machine, players solve puzzles through by moving multiple data cubes with human workers, using an in-game programming language.
