Much to my surprise, the overgrown garden setting of Infinitesimals is not especially indebted to any Dreamworks and Pixar films about insects. Nor is the game's steel-jawed space flea protagonist, Captain Awkney Relinrake, directly inspired by Buzz Lightyear. Instead, he channels the stately, swaggering Englishness of Jean Luc Picard and Richard Sharpe, aka Napoleonic Sean Bean.

This last revelation slightly disappoints me, in that Relinrake seems a bit ridiculous, with eyebrows the size of aviation flaps, and I'd like the game to own that humour in a more obviously Toy Story-ish way. But what most catches me out, during my 30 minute hands-on with Cubit Studios' deceptively toony action game, is that it takes a fair few cues from milsims.
