Sci-Fi

Infinifactory distills the joy of assembly lines into a minimalist puzzle game. Players design automated factories to produce complex objects, using a simple but powerful block-based programming system. The satisfaction comes from optimizing production, shaving cycles, and watching your contraptions whir to life, even if the solutions are often bizarre and inelegant. The intricate puzzles and the open-ended nature of the design keep you coming back to refine and improve your solutions.
