Zachtronics' programming puzzler TIS-100 now out of Early Access

Infinifactory dev already launches a new game.

Infinifactory creator and video game developing machine Zach Barth has released his latest meta opus TIS-100 on Steam.

TIS-100 is available on PC, Mac and Linux on Steam, where it goes for £4.99 / $6.99, but is 10 per cent off until 27th July.
