Infotron

Infotrons are game objects that resemble knots or closed loops of vibrant rainbow-colored ribbon. They represent valuable data, optimisation, control and performance. Most levels require Murphy to collect a set number of infotrons before exit becomes open.

Most levels require Murphy to collect a minimal amount of infotrons as the main objective. Sometimes it is possible to collect more infotrons than the minimal amount. The datamining paradigm focuses on maximising the amount of extra infotrons collected.

Trefoil infotron

The most common type of infotron. They are affected by gravity, are rounded and can roll off round objects. When they are at rest they can be snapped by Murphy.

Hertz infotron

A heart-shaped infotron. Very similar to trefoil infotron, but it cannot be zapped. It can only be collected by entering the tile it resides in.
Hertz infotrons are Supaplex equivalents to heart collectables in Heartlight.
