This also factors into the scoring for each puzzle. Whenever an item either turns or falls will slow down the movement of said item which is important when it comes to synchronizing assembly lines.Īs long as parts are connected to a solid structure, you can set up assembly lines above and below each other in order to move items to where they are needed. Items don’t move on their own and require either parts like conveyor belts or other items to push them in order to get them going. Around the World Thinking:īuilding these assembly lines in a 3D space requires a different thought process compared to Spacechem which was more about logic based pseudo programming. The 3D aspect of Infinifactory adds a new wrinkle to the proceedings and further requires you to bend your thinking when it comes to the puzzles. Just like in Spacechem your results are tracked and compared to your friends via histograms with global scores I believe coming in a future update. What’s interesting about Infinifactory is that you keep any new parts and can return to previous puzzles with them to create better optimize solutions. Infinifactory’s progression is less strict compared to Spacechem and you can make progress without having to beat every puzzle. The game features a linear campaign broken into planets which will introduce new parts and then challenge you to complete the section to move onto the next planet and so on. The first being the ability to weld items together to create joint items that can be moved which introduces multi item shapes that need to be transported.
Items will emerge from specific areas and you need to use the available parts to construct an assembly line to do the job.Īt the start your only challenge will be moving single block items to their goals but the game will quickly add new challenges and parts to use. The rules are for each puzzle you must move the desired outputs to teleporters located in the level. Just like with Spacechem, Infinifactory looks deceptively simple. It turns out these aliens need people to help build their manufacturing assembly lines and you are their latest worker/victim. The story of Infinifactory is that one night while driving home you are abducted by aliens who want to use you for their construction efforts. To view the progress of Infinifactory, you can check out the Infinifactory road map on Reddit) A Cog in the Machine: Screenshots and impressions may not match the current build of the game. (Infinifactory may be in early access but as we discussed during our interview, the game is finished in terms of release content and there will be about 3 to 6 months of additional content that Zach and his team will work on at the time of this post. With Infinifactory, Zach returns to the genre in 3D to give gamers another good reason to challenge their critical thinking abilities. Infinifactory is the latest game from Zachtronics whose previous puzzle game Spacechem became one of the most praised and cursed at puzzle titles of 2011 thanks to its challenging gameplay and open-ended design.
