Development and release

edit
 
In Infinity Field, the player must shoot incoming enemies.

Infinity Field was developed by Manuel Martinez-Almeida, a self-taught game developer from Valladolid.[1] After getting an iPhone from his father in 2009, Martinez-Almeida released his first game for iOS, Abstract War 2.0, in February 2010.[1][2]

Martinez-Almeida developed Infinity Field while he was a 16-year-old student in high school.[3] The inspiration to start development came from wanting to create a "much more ambitious shooter" after making a high definition port for Abstract War 2.0. The neon graphics of the Geometry Wars series served as the main inspiration for the game's visuals.[4]

After establishing ForzeField Studios, he contacted Chillingo, whose co-general manager, Chris Byatte, approved Infinity Field for publishing. Martinez-Almeida worked alongside Chillingo's production team to polish the game before releasing it for the iPad on 27 January 2011[4][5] under the name Infinity Field HD. The game was released for the iPhone in August 2011.[6]

Reception

edit

The game has a "generally favorable" Metacritic score based on 11 critics.[7]

The game was well received.[11][12][8][9][19][10][3][13][14][15][16][17][18][excessive citations]
