This Non-Euclidean Game Will Destroy Your Brain! - Hyperbolica

Hyperbolica First Look - a unique game by codeparade. What if we lived in a world that behaved nothing like our own? In non-Euclidean hyperbolic space, squares don't have 4 right angles, parallel lines don't stay the same distance apart, and the circumference of a circle is no longer pi times the diameter. This may turn your brain into soup.

Tried to paint this one in a good light, but this ended up being more of a showcase than a game unfortunately. Still a neat concept though.

I’m excited for all the puzzle games, especially the “I like clicking on polls, it’s like bubble wrap”

the puzzle at 3:47 involves a property called "holonomy", it's the property of space that involves "creating rotation" through normal movement, follow the path of a five sided square and you'll find yourself rotated a full 90°, even though no percieved rotation is experienced. this effect is present in both hyperbolic and spherical geometries

edit: yes, I said five sided square, those exist in hyperbolic geometry (5-90° angles), and three sided squares can exist in spherical geometry

HyperRogue is a traditionally roguelike with non-euclidian geometry, it makes each enemy encounter basically a puzzle when u enter new areas because your practically avoiding getting check mated

I’ve been following this game since a demo video was posted a few years back.
Good to see all the progress in the game and that it’s appeared on your radar.

My new favorite quote, ever

Fun fact: an Apeirogon is a polygon with infinitely many sides. In "normal" geometry, an Apeirogon is just a line.

I've been watching the Dev logs for this game for years, and now one of my other favorite YouTubers is playing it!?
I didn't even know it fully came out yet.

This must have been both amazingly interesting and incredibly stressful to code

If you liked this, you should definitely check out HyperRogue too!

I've seen a few other commenters go in-depth into what it is, so I'll keep myself brief, but what it is is basically a roguelike using hyperbolic geometry, with tons of different lands and orbs and enemies and so on. The hyperbolic gimmick means you can manipulate movement patterns not possible in euclidean geometry and it's just a ton of fun

Check out hyperrogue! It's a turn-based treasure collecting hyperbolic strategy game. The tutorial isn't great, and I'm not sure you could make a long series about it as it's more of a stream game than a youtube game, but I'm sure it's worth taking a look at.

I had a headache after I went through Hyperbolica, it's fascinating how much a person can navigate through any environment with the simplest knowledge they have (and a map). It's a shame it didn't feel natural, but I guess that was expected.

Jumping higher up doesn't only not allow you to see farther, but it makes the world look smaller than it really is when you're high up.

[prod.mohomid]

Dude I've been keeping up with this for so long. Glad it finally released. Tbh, I thought it would be eternally pushed back

[josephgoldsborough]

I've been watching the devlogs for this game for a while now, I think the way dialogue was implemented was really cool, they basically scripted a new language to do so if I remember correctly. Not even a minute in yet, but I'm excited to see how far the game has gootten!

[VivBrodock]

just so you know Tyler: While non-Euclidean is a way to describe the geometry of the game hyperbolic is the more accurate descriptor. The essential logic of hyperbolic geometry is that parallel lines always diverge away from each other. which stands in opposition to another kind of non-Euclidean geometry Elliptic Geometry where parallel lines always converge

That ring you see around you is infinite distance away, which is why you can't look past it. There is nothing past it.
