Development and release

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]
