Approaching Infinity is a turn-based science fiction game of infinite space exploration and adventure. Each game grants you an entirely new universe, allowing for unlimited replayability. Designed for both casual and experienced players of the rogue-like genre, tool tips, contextual commands, a tutorial, and a sensible UI all help to make this game highly accessible.
"The key to Approaching Infinity's success is its combination of simplicity and surprising depth..." --Waltorious Writes About Games.
"...the gameplay is both fun and unlimited, and just as likely to be as fun today as it will be ten years from now." --John Breeden II, GiN - Game Industry News.
"But if you know what you're getting into with this type of game, Approaching Infinity is a landmark for the genre, and well worth the investment." --Doom, TeamPlayerGaming.
