HyperRogue (tuxdb.com)

Quite a long time from the last update, but it is quite a big one! It includes two new lands (Warped Coast and Rose Garden), one new Crossroads variant, two new gameplay modes (Heptagonal and Chaos), one new graphical mode (Hypersian Rug mode), 11 new achievements, and some other improvements. See http://zenorogue.blogspot.com/2016/03/hyperrogue-82.html for details! http://store.steampowered.com/app/432380 Also, Hydra Slayer is coming soon to Steam! Both HyperRogue and Hydra Slayer are roguelikes based on mathematical concepts from the same author, yet they are different at the same time -- while the world of HyperRogue is very open, in Hydra Slayer you descend a dungeon, where your resources are limited, and you have to find out how to use them most effectively. While HyperRogue is based on its unique geometry, Hydra Slayer is based on its unique math-based combat system (although there is some interesting geometry too). There are already some extra features over the free version of Hydra Slayer (like the random challenges), and hopefully, like HyperRogue, there will be more and more! Have fun, and thanks to everyone who voted for Hydra Slayer on Steam Greenlight!

You are a lone adventurer in a strange, non-Euclidean world. Gather as much treasure as you can before the nasty monsters get you. Explore several different worlds, each with its own unique treasures, enemies, and terrain obstacles. Your quest is to find the legendary treasure, the Orbs of Yendor. Collect one of them to win! Or just ignore your quest and collect smaller treasures.

The twist is the unique, unusual geometry of the world: it is one of just few games which takes place on the hyperbolic plane. Witness a grid composed of hexagons and heptagons, straight lines which seem to be parallel, but then they diverge and never cross, triangles whose angles add up to less than 180 degrees, how extremely unlikely is it to reach the same place twice, and how the world seems to be rotated when you do return. All this matters for the gameplay. The game is inspired by the roguelike genre (although in a very minimalist way), works of M. C. Escher, and by puzzle games such as Deadly Rooms of Death.

HyperRogue can be played for free from its website. The Steam version adds online achievements, online leaderboards, trading cards, and convenience. Also, as the game is constantly updated, the Steam version includes the newest features, such as new lands with new mechanics, or new game modes -- see Gallery for the current differences.
