Your basic work blocks are things like conveyors and rotators and welders that get the job done.
The beauty of this setup is that you have simple tools that can be spun into factories of infinite complexity. As I mentioned before, this can be anything from linking three boxes together to constructing a missile to breaking down a whale into packaged meat. Your job is to use your infinite supply of factory blocks provided to combine, separate, and re-scramble the input into the appropriate output. Every puzzle takes place in an exotic location with hatches that produce objects, and a platform that demands a finished product made from those objects. Instead of probing your tender orifices, however, they just task you with building factories for them. You play an unnamed human who gets abducted Fire in the Sky style by aliens. I’m getting ahead of myself here, but it’s hard for me to contain my admiration for everything Infinifactory accomplishes. It’s the kind of puzzle game that presents you with a seemingly insurmountable task, and through only the basic systems presented it helps you experience that delicious eureka moment when everything clicks. And you’re sure to fail now and then as the game asks more and more of you, from moving boxes from one wall to another all the way to breaking down starships and building cannons out of the pieces. This is the crux of what makes Infinifactory so amazing, that even failure is an engrossing and enlightening experience. Instead of falling to frustration, my brain kept churning through solutions until it struck upon one, and it stuck with me for the entire day until I could spend hours more that night constructing it.
STEAM INFINIFACTORY FULL
For the full 60 minutes I was engrossed in testing layouts and aligning conveyors and wiring sensors, only to discover at the end that my design was flawed and simply wouldn’t work. I spent one of those precious hours last week building a factory in Infinifactory.
Sometimes I spend my lunch break at work playing games.
