WHO WE ARE

Infinite State Games are Charlie Scott-Skinner and Mike Daw — a two-person independent studio based in London and Glastonbury, UK. Fungineering since 2008. Gourmet games for the discerning.

We're veterans of handheld and console gaming who specialise in making euphoric, deep, colourful and intensely fun arcade games. Our design philosophy is rooted in the golden age of the arcade — from a time when a tight game loop was enough to keep you coming back, when beating your own score and the promise of unlocking one more thing was all the motivation you needed.

We've shipped on PS Vita, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Oculus Quest, Xbox and PC. We've been picked up by Thalamus Digital and Digerati. We've been TIGA Award finalists. We've had a cult hit. And in December 2024 — a full ten years after the original Don't Die Mr Robot launched on PS Vita — we released our most ambitious game yet. ISG pride themselves on having the best bass in videogames, and they are not wrong.

The ISG secret: every game starts with Mike writing down ideas on a Rizla. Every single one.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Review — TheSixthAxis

This is the arcade game the 12-year-old version of you was always meant to play. Fast, frantic, outrageously challenging. Infinite State Games have created something very special here.
★ 9/10

Review — Nintendo Insider

A solid, satisfying solo-focused shooter that's only 123MB in size — it is a Nintendo Switch necessity.
★ 9/10

Review — HardcoreGamer

3D Don't Die, Mr Robot! is a ridiculously playable arcade game that feels great whether just making things explode or chasing after a new score for the leaderboard.
★ 4.5/5

Community Review — Steam

At its core, it's a cross between Minter visuals, Every Extend bomb chaining and a whole lot of careful arcade game design. Can be tough without being stressful. The music is perfect.

Review — GamerPauly

I very rarely love a game I've reviewed but this one took me back to my childhood and I re-lived some magical gaming memories.

Review — GertLushGaming

A ton of depth and even more replayability.

ISG have the best bass in videogames.
This is not a claim we make lightly. This is not a claim we will ever walk back.
