Enjoy this Non-Euclidean adventure while celebrating Pi Day!
I wanted to take a moment to thank all my patrons, YouTube subscribers, beta testers, and contributors who helped make this game possible. The amazing team behind Hyperbolica is small but mighty, doing so much in such a short time! I'm still blown away at how weve accomplished in the last two years.
The CodeParade Discord and YouTube community has been a lot of fun, and Im really happy that the Devlogs I created have inspired others to push the boundaries of game design as well!
With thousands of lines of dialogue, hours of unique gameplay, hundreds of NPCs, puzzles and games galore, and secret achievements, I hope Hyperbolica scratches that Non-Euclidean itch in the indie game community!
Thanks once again and have fun!

Travel through Hyperbolica, a Non-Euclidean curved space like you've never experienced before. On this whimsical journey, you'll discover bizarre landscapes, solve puzzles, battle in a snowball fight, navigate a labyrinth, and much more. All with new challenges in this strange new world.
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 be 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.
