I have a feeling that I'll get the same feeling out of this that I get from MMOs:  "I've created something astounding that doesn't actually exist or have a use, oh god what have I done with my life".  But I may buy it anyway because 1) it's awesome and 2) I want to support Zachtronics.

Well, all the levels I've played so far have involved real stuff (water, nitric acid, methane, hydrogen sulphide etc.), except for this last one, "tainted water"? Water with uranium instead of hydrogen in the molecule? Really?  ???

...

Heavy shit  :P

Oh my god you just made my year.

Also, this puzzle game is really well-done. Thanks OP.

hmmm...mars would be colonized by building factories that do what this game seems to do...is there a mars colonization level?

Then again, I consider Infinity to be overly ambitious, something that might easily spell it's downfall.

I think its beyond mars. There are many planets. Each planet is a stage with several puzzles and a theme and story.

I bought it yesterday and forgot to go to sleep after I started playing it, so it really is an addictive game. No need to try the demo, just buy it.

Is anyone else not getting the performance statistic graphs? I don't even see my own stats.  :-\

Well, I've joined the club in buying this game, and so far I'm very happy with the purchase. As has been said a few times already, it's not a game for everyone, but if you have liked the other games released by this author, then you'll very likely enjoy this.

It's very nicely polished, and I feel it's entirely deserving of its price :)

This is the only game that has made me long desperately for relay/flip-flop circuits. The major trouble I have is with not being able to send my signal along a needed path because I already have a damn arrow where I'm pointing it and it makes a useless loop. Got all the way to making the compound (first level on Danopth), and then I couldn't get back to the beginning without running into myself.

Well I'm sure there are more elegant or efficient solutions but here's mine in case you need some help. It seemed simpler to build the molecule in place rather than rotate it.

Had not realized you could bond molecules while the manipulators were not on top of them, ha. Makes things much simpler. Here's my solution.

Indeed, that would make things simpler. Same applies to sensors and alternate paths later on. :)

It took me a while to realize you could even drag the bonders around, or use bond without it being on top of the bonder as well.

All I can think about when I look at that screenshot, is that you're running NT or 2000.
