About Hyperbolica
Hyperbolica is true Non-Euclidean game full of bizarre landscapes, mind-bending puzzles, oddball characters, and secrets around every corner. Get fully immersed on Desktop or VR.
How is hyperbolic space different?
Hyperbolic space allows exponentially more volume to fit in the same 'space' than you'd normally expect. This allows you to explore enormous areas while taking very little time to walk anywhere. You'll find that building a mental map of your surroundings becomes impossible. Lines can no longer stay parallel. Traversing the map can result in unexpected rotations. And many more strange consequences that will make you question reality. You'll also explore spherical space, which has the opposite outcomes. For example, a reverse-perspective: Objects appear larger the farther away they are.
It's a difficult concept to explain, and first-hand experience really is the best way to understand and build an intuition about these interesting geometries. Hyperbolica was created specifically for this purpose, to break the mold and to have a fun experience in an alternative universe different from our own.

Played it once & then yeah... It's good, I'm not sure I would pay more than 8 USD for it though.
Pretty cool geometry lesson. I don't have VR sickness so I didn't feel any motion sickness. Interesting that there's no FOV slider or problems since it is a projection from hyperbolic space to 2D so it doesn't quite matter.
Very fun to play around in the different curvatures of space. I enjoyed the devlogs and after finally getting a computer to play Hyperbolica on, the game did not disappoint.

Short game, but you should not beat this in a sitting! I live for strange worlds like this.
