General information
Ricochet Infinity is a singleplayer and multiplayer flip screen and side view paddle game in the Ricochet series.
Ricochet Infinity used to have a feature where players can download and share player-made levels all across the world for several years, however on December 7, 2017, all forums for Ricochet were shut down due to the servers not being sustainable to run anymore, assuming that the player today is interested in downloading custom made levels to try them out, especially if the player is interested in getting the achievement Solar Traveler , there is an unofficial website where the player can choose to download said levels and install them manually, the player could also manually restore the online level catalog if they choose to do so.
