Open-ended puzzler Infinifactory is coming to PS4

Let the solution-sharing recordings commence.

Infinifactory, the acclaimed open-ended puzzle game by SpaceChem developer Zachtronics Industries, is coming to PS4.

The crux of Infinifactory lies in constructing assembly lines and factories to carry out a series of tasks for your alien overlords. What makes the game so special is that there's a huge berth of solutions to any particular conundrum. As such, sharing one's solution is one of its most endearing features.

"My absolute favourite feature in Infinifactory is its ability to record videos of solutions," Zachtronics creative director Zach Barth said on the PlayStation Blog. "With the single push of a button you can record seamlessly looping videos of your cleverest factories and share them with your friends and the world. How's that for showing off?"

Our Chris Donlan was really smitten with Infinifactory's Early Access build, and Eurogamer contributor Simon Parkin felt likewise about its official release, which he recommended.

There's no word on when this PS4 port will see the light of day and Barth noted on Twitter that he has no idea when we can expect this. Though given how fast Zachtronics churns out updates and new games - like the programming puzzler TIS-100, which came out this week - it likely won't be all that long.
