while True: learn()
You’re a machine learning specialist who makes neural networks but your cat seems to be better at it. Now you must solve puzzles to build a cat-to-human translation system (who knows what else this cat is capable of!). Earn a fortune, buy kickass cat outfits, learn how machine learning really works!
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “fun, engaging logic puzzles” (60 of 78 reviews) and “satisfying challenge, approachable difficulty” (8); the most common complaint is “confusing mechanics, weak explanations” (6). What reviewers agree on ↓

“Got this for my kid as a learning tool, working through it together. We really enjoy the gameplay (the way it has been organised and how it handles) and the very clean, uncluttered visual style - nicely done! The…”
“Ok, I'm gonna be real with all of you I really had troubles finding myself finishing this game, and not because it's hard, it can be a challenge but not one that will make you drop it, the puzzles are really fun, the…”

“This game is absolutely amazing, it will teach you about neural networks and ML in a super fun and easy way. I can't recommend this game enough!”
“While True: Learn() is one of the most surprisingly clever puzzle games that I've seen in a long time. On the surface it looks simple and charming, but underneath it hides some seriously challenging and satisfying logic…”

“If you're like me and expected to learn how machine learning algorithm works, seeing the code, or being ready to code at the end of this, this is not the game. Some concepts like errors are not really explained well…”
“I have been communicating between a good friend of mine while been playing this game together. I will say that this game opens up different pathways to the same result and while you could get stuck for a few hours…”
“Fun puzzle, logic, thought inducing cute game. i enjoyed it a lot. there were several guides available that helped me when i was stumped. i wish i could talk to my owner (read cat) with a program like this too.”

“This is a very interesting game. As should be pretty clear from the pics, this is a game that is based on computer logic. Specifically AI development and the concepts behind it. It does it by presenting problems and the…”

“I want to love it, I really do. But it's just not an ML game, which was always my hope. It's a light statistical model game that is themed after ML methods that were contemporary seven years ago- and I played it then…”

“Awful. It's a puzzle game. No learning or simulation.”

“I wanted to like the game, but just didn't enjoy my time with it. The main problem is, that what I've seen is just too damn easy. Most of the puzzles are "filter a stream 3 shapes and colors" using the couple filter…”
“I loved games such as TIS-100 and Turing Complete. I was hoping to rediscover the same magic here, but instead the game is simplified to the point of stupidity. Explanations of machine learning concepts are dumbed down…”

“What an amazing game. This is my first programming/educational game ever. It's challenging but in a good way. I spent an hour in the tutorial while my brain was trying to solve them. Its got me hooked.”
