RogueViz Collection

RogueViz Collection brings together games and demos that experiment with gameplay in non-Euclidean geometry, used here in the mathematical sense of curved space. The collection uses the RogueViz engine, originally designed for HyperRogue, and explores ideas that did not fit HyperRogue’s setting. Its games span several genres:

Games in the collection

• Bringris: a 3D falling-block puzzle game set in non-Euclidean space. The geometry makes horizontal piece rotation unnecessary, while the space’s anisotropy makes vertical rotation unnecessary.
• Nil Rider: a racing game in Nil geometry, where you ride impossible staircases to build speed. It can be played on a computer screen or in VR.
• Relative Hell: games set in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter geometries. The anti-de Sitter game is a multidirectional shooter, while the de Sitter game is a bullet hell.
• Seuphorica: a solitaire deckbuilder in which you create a crossword. Originally designed for the Euclidean square grid, its RogueViz version explores how crosswords work in non-Euclidean space.

Bringris, Nil Rider and Relative Hell are the only games in the collection specially designed for their respective geometries: H2xR, Nil and (anti) de Sitter. The collection also includes smaller games and demos.
